All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Bret Easton Ellis' haunting and controversial 1991 novel about a psychotic business executive who specializes in "Murders and Executions" is brought to life with some trimming here and there, most likely to avert a high rating and to not displease viewers with uncut visual depictions of the already graphic novel.

'talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it' said by the amazing lady gaga herself, who is known for her truth speaking. first thing is first, this movie is not for everyone. it is for those who believe in the psychological breaking of another individual, the harsh complexities of life and the genuine pressure people face. I am a victim of this - like yourselves.get that lettuce out of your mouth, bc you will never be a pat Bateman. do not go and trying to buy Yves saint Laurent bc you will not be able to get it. do not do 1000 crunches bc quite frankly you will not succeed. and for the love oh god 'is that a raincoat?'adios chicas!!!!
