Summary: Good flick, this
Review: Excellent bit of postmodern stitching. Shows that holywood can actually throw around a bit of literature when they put themselves to task. Love that self-referential, yeah, we are telling you a story, and we're fully aware of that fact, not just as actors, but as characters. Puts things in a slightly different light. "I want you to hit me as hard as you can."

Summary: A Very, Veeeery strange movie....
Review: This movie has an awesome premise and simply has a very surreal and eerie atmosphere to it. Its the story of a man who is ruled by his own posestions and must have everything perfect. He attends meetings every night so he has somewhere to go. He eventually meets Tyler Durden played by Brad Pitt (who I might add does an awesome job of portraying this strange character). They create the "Fight Club" where people join and fight bare fisted for fun, not to the death. The Fight Club gets out out of hand and the world starts crashing down around the main character played by Edward Norton. The final twist is gonna make you simply drop your jaw and stare at the screen, then after the movie back in the box youll sit there for about 20 minutes thinking "How was that possible...." or "He was there but who was the other guy then..." Itll boggle your mind. Ontop of all that it is full of action scenes which get pretty gruesome. This is a top notch film and definitly warrants a purchace.

Summary: No Rules
Review: The best thing about David Fincher's masterpiece is that you can take away what you want from this film. Fight Club isn't really about anything. That is sort of the theme and the beauty of this film because that is how real life is. Being able to watch this film and draw your own conclusions it what makes this film so special. Additionally it is probably one of the most well photographed and edited films ever. Stars Brad Pitt and Edward Norton form the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid for a new generation. They perfectly represent a generation that does not want to be told where they are going, they want to find out, but are not sure how. Fight Club is an anthem, everyone should see it once. Of coarse then you have to watch it again and again. It is addictive.

Summary: A wake up call to America
Review: This movie is good on many levels, the story is great (adapted from a truely fantastic novel), the translation to film was very carefully crafted and it's artistic translation perhaps delivers the message to those who need it most."The things that you own end up owning you" The film leaves you with a distrubed not well feeling, you may not be able to pinpoint why this is at first, then you begin to think about it and start to realize the moral of the story and the the truth hiding underneath (again on so many levels). From things like "Do you know you could defend yourself if need be? and can you imagine the liberation that must come from having that assurance?" To "Our society is driven my the accumulation of things, and we will do whatever we must to obtain those things and live out the lifestyles hollywood dictates that we must". Then it goes on to show the dangers of the other extreem way of thinking (this is in fact the basis for most of the story). Possibly too much for some to grasp. "You are not a unique a beautiful butterfly" The movie is crafted well, it's brilliant and nothing less than a piece of art. A very in-your-face generationX style movie that may not be consumable for everyone. The DVD version is incredible, the extra stuff you get + the quality is worth the money.

Summary: Not Your Typical Yuppie Entertainment.
Review: This film attacks our capitalist culture, our obsessive materialistic individualistic mindsets, this film mocks our "dreamer-couch-potato" generation. And it shines while it moons us with its smart remarks and its egotystical masturbation. This film is a satirical masterpiece. I'll have to admit, I'm biased. I love Fincher. Se7en is by far my most-adored film. Although I can talk forever about Se7en, I can probably talk more than forever about Fight Club, because the various themes incorporated in the film seem endless. To summarize without giving too much away, this film, adopted from Chuck Palahniuk's underground novel, is about the postmodern world, where children are raised by their television sitcoms and commercials. Where children no longer look to their deadbeat fathers as role-models for God. Where children abandon unfollowed dreams because their goals were "too hard" and they couldn't cut the slack while they were privileged enough to be in college but too busy pissing their money away and having promiscuous sex. Where everyone has a of mental disorder of some kind and instead of accepting responsibility for their problems, continuously victimize themselves while receiving "inner-child" embraces from their local support group. This film mocks and tackles all these issues, and more. It raises questions for our overstimulated lifestyles. It questions us about our directions, our goals, our passions. It asks us what we are really made of. If we have all these dreams to become so great, to impact the world, to make a difference, than why don't we? Why do we continue to rot in front of our t.v., picking our noses, and denying the most fulfilling activity in the world, self-transcendance? It admonishes us. It threatens us. Because living in a society where our immaterial needs are no longer met, where we are overwhelmed with our trivial material decisions and activities, there becomes a void inside of all of us. All of a sudden, we are faced with the questions like, What is it like to feel pain? What is it like to feel joy? What is it like to feel exhilerating? What is it like to live? From a more sociological perspective, the film's theme of the postmodern brainchild is a direct result of what social prophets, including Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Aldous Huxley, and the controversial Karl Marx have long predicted. The film wreaks of Marx philosophy with its show of disgust for what the commodification of life has done to our humanity. All four social prophets agreed that the deterioration of the immaterial life would lead to the self-destruction of the human race, essentially what this apocalyptic story leads to. With performances by Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and Helen Bonham Carter, who play the roles they were "born" for, this film will, in the least, with no question, provoke you. The DVD itself: A very honestly and tastefully done collection. Included is a supplemental cd including several commentaries, deleted scenes, and "the making of" clips. Also included is a hilarious compilation of quotes from both opposers and likers of the film. You seriously can't expect more from the makers - it doesn't get any better than this.

Summary: The BEST all-around DVD
Review: Now I know that most people who buy DVD's have already seen the movie, so why do most people who do these reviews write about the actual movie itself and nothing more? Beats me. I'm here to tell you about what you really need to know: is the DVD worth buying? How does it sound? How does it look? What's the bonus stuff like? Well I tell you, I own over 70 DVD's already, and Fight Club in my opinion is among the best all-around DVD. Read on to find out why. Aside from the movie (which in this case is great), I look at other key factors in DVD's: the sound, the picture quality, and the extra features. This baby has it all. Clean and clear picture transfer that you should expect in any DVD. This one is among the best. And the extras? Tons and tons! Not only is there a great quantity of material (an entire second disc devoted to it), but it's great QUALITY bonus material as well. Presentation is excellent. Some DVD's simply give you a special type of experience becuase of the style and presentation used, and this is one of them. Now let me get to the best part- The sound. I'm a sound freak, and I appreciate great sound. If you have a good sound setup with 5.1 surround, you'll love Fight Club. They did a great job on the mixing board with this one. All in all, this is how ALL DVD's should be made. Only a few other DVD's are even in the same league (T2 Ultimate Edition and Gladiator just to name a couple). You're money is NOT wasted with this buy.

Summary: WOW
Review: I don't think I can begin to describe how great this movie is. It is nothing like I expected, and I was totally blown away. It serves as a wonderful commentary on our commercialistic society, and is visually stunning. 5 stars are not enough!
