rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author updateghost - Fifty years from now I'll probably be asking myself, "Do I really like Rules of Attraction?", but presently I'll settle with "yes." Let's be realistic, folks: Bret Easton Ellis'/Roger Avary's characters are pestiferous. Sean Bateman (James...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kaz2000 - If John Waters was a boring and soulless fiend from the duller parts of hell he might have written something like this.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author disinclined - I don’t see as many movies as I should, and I never see the ones that everyone’s talking about until months after they’ve finally stopped talking about them. It starts innocently enough – someone asks casually, “Oh, have you seen...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author floryna - I went to this movie with big hopes of really seeing something interesting. I usually love drug-related movies simply because they are pretty exciting and they show a way of life that I am not really familiar with. But I was pretty disapointed...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drunknmick - I had never really heard of Bret Easton Ellis until I saw American Psycho last year for the first time. I was a fan of the dark comedy in which a New York businessman goes around torturing and killing people as well as animals. At the time I was not...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author banky36 - I looked briefly over the reviews on this page and I could not believe my eyes. Do I expect everyone to agree with me? No. But for this movie to get such a good rating across the board blew my mind. I'll address this movie in terms of its major...

Sun, 13 Oct 2002 19:19:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tigger500 - I had unusually high expectations for this film. I'm a fan of satirical film. I love that teaser poster. I didn't like the book. I loathe and despise Pulp Fiction, a film that grows more and more annoying, pathetic, and manipulative with each...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sussmanbern - Last year we had MEMENTO, a very absorbing mystery in which we saw an episode, then jumped back earlier in time, saw another episode, then jumped back even earlier, and so forth, until the loose ends all came together. Something along the same lines...
