DVD Review: Multiple Miggs-What did he say to you, Clarisse?
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok all you wanna be Siskel and Eberts you are SUPPOSED to, actually, review the DVD as well-extras, quality, bonus features you know that sort of thing. Obviously the plot is above in the description of the film you are going to purchase.
Everyone's a friggin critic or reviewer.
DVD Review: Don't buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
All the comments on the blu-ray transfer are correct. I rented this movie 2 years ago and was blown away by the pristine pq. Lionsgate really messed up bad with this which doesn't surprise me. This is not the first blu-ray transfer from lionsgate they destroyed. These people truly are clueless on pq. My advise to all that love this film is to try and find a used copy that was released by Universal Studios.DVD Review: Love the movie but the Blu Ray isn't worth it
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, American Psycho is one of my favorite movies of all time. It rocked my world the first time I saw it and I've probably seen the thing 100+ times. Mary Harron's take on Bret Easton Ellis's masterpiece is amazing, and Christian Bale brings the character of Patrick Bateman to life like none other. The brutal acts juxtaposed with Patrick's cool nonchalance is profoundly disturbing and creepy. If you haven't seen the movie, buy it at once.
As far as the Blu Ray version goes? Skip it. The intro with the white background looks absolutely horrible on Blu Ray. In fact, I put my old DVD copy in just to see the difference and I think the original upscaled DVD looks better on my PS3. There are no special features on the Blu Ray worth mentioning. Save yourself the trouble and get the DVD version instead.
DVD Review: Great movie, shoddy Blu-ray
Summary: 3 Stars
I won't review the movie itself here except to say that it's great for all the reasons people praised it. If you're looking to buy this Blu-ray, you've probably seen the movie anyway.
This is a very shoddy Blu-ray release. The transfer is ugly. It looks like an upconverted DVD. In fact, if you have an upconvert DVD player with an HDMI cable, I wouldn't even bother replacing your old DVD copy. The blacks are often not black enough, the colors not crisp enough. There is noticeable grain and a lack of clarity we expect from blu-rays.
This is a great movie but it deserves a better blu-ray than this, as it is ordinarily a beautifully shot film.
I gave it three stars, because it is a great movie and for $10, this is a good starter for a budding Blu-ray collection. Just don't expect to get the most out of your HD system with this. Many older films (Deliverance, Face/Off, Batman, others) look much better.

DVD Review: Loved it *spoiler!!!!!!!*
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent performance from Christian. He can do crazy very well. My favorite scene in the whole movie is when he's shooting at the cops and he blows up one of the cars... He stops for a moment and stares at his gun and gives it a sort of "What the hell" look. Perfect, awesome... The second American Psyco is pretty hilarious too... good good.
Description of American Psycho (Uncut Killer Collector's Edition)
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie obsessed with success, status and style, with a stunning fianc? (Reese Witherspoon). He is also a psychotic killer who rapes, murders and dismembers both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or purpose. Based on the controversial novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the film offers a sharp satire to the dark side of yuppie culture in the '80s, while setting forth a vision that is both terrifying and chilling.The Bret Easton Ellis novel American Psycho, a dark, violent satire of the "me" culture of Ronald Reagan's 1980s, is certainly one of the most controversial books of the '90s, and that notoriety fueled its bestseller status. This smart, savvy adaptation by Mary Harron (I Shot Andy Warhol) may be able to ride the crest of the notoriety; prior to the film's release, Harron fought a ratings battle (ironically, for depictions of sex rather than violence), but at the time the director stated, "We're rescuing [the book] from its own bad reputation." Harron and co-screenwriter Guinevere Turner (Go Fish) overcome many of the objections of Ellis's novel by keeping the most extreme violence offscreen (sometimes just barely), suggesting the reign of terror of yuppie killer Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) with splashes of blood and personal souvenirs. Bale is razor sharp as the blank corporate drone, a preening tiger in designer suits whose speaking voice is part salesman, part self-help guru, and completely artificial. Carrying himself with the poised confidence of a male model, he spends his days in a numbing world of status-symbol one-upmanship and soul-sapping small talk, but breaks out at night with smirking explosions of homicide, accomplished with the fastidious care of a hopeless obsessive. The film's approach to this mayhem is simultaneously shocking and discreet; even Bateman's outrageous naked charge with a chainsaw is most notable for the impossibly polished and gleaming instrument of death. Harron's film is a hilarious, cheerfully insidious hall of mirrors all pointed inward, slowly cracking as the portrait becomes increasingly grotesque and insane. --Sean Axmaker
