Get excited because we have a thriller this week! This week we will be talking about the ever-frustrating American Psycho (2000). This movie was always one of my favorites - let's face it, Christian Bale never looked better. Then, about 6 months ago, I decided I needed to read the book. That book really flipped my world around for a few weeks. American Psycho is an important and entertaining social commentary that will leave you feeling uneasy for days to come. Buckle up.
