‘American Psycho’ (2000)

A film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis‘s novel directed by Mary Harron and starring Christian Bale, American Psycho is truly a 21st-century classic. The plot follows Bale’s Patrick Bateman, a wealthy New York City investment banker obsessed with his status, who leads a double life as a serial killer, hiding his psychopathic ego from his friends and acquaintances. The film also stars Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Justin Theroux, Chloë Sevigny, and Reese Witherspoon in notable roles.

Though initially considered an unfilmable novel, American Psycho has since become an icon of its genre, marked by Bale’s disturbingly brilliant performance as the unhinged yuppie. The film can be called a darker mirror to 1987’s Wall Street, which blends psychological horror and black comedy to satirize the 1980s consumerist culture. When it first premiered in 2000, American Psycho received polarized reactions from critics and fans, receiving praise for the writing and acting, but also criticism for its gore and violence, though the latter has become significantly more appealing to audiences in subsequent years.

Four love stories, four completely different ideas of what it means to
be somebody’s person. This is the one that matches how you actually fall, and what it would ask of
you.

You do not fall for strangers. You fall for the person you have
already been talking to for years, which is the slowest and by some distance the most
durable way anybody has found to do this.

• When Harry Met Sally made the case that the best romance is an argument you enjoy,
  conducted over a decade, by two people refusing to admit what is happening.
• You want to be known rather than swept away. Somebody who remembers your worst story is
  doing better work than anybody arriving with flowers.
• The film is unusually honest about timing. These two are wrong for each other repeatedly
  until suddenly they are not, and neither of them engineered it.
• You would still be talking about everything at eighty. That is the entire promise.

You want a partner, not an audience. Somebody who wants their own
life as badly as you want yours, and who would never ask you to be smaller to make the
relationship easier.

• This is the rare romance where both people have a real career and the film takes both of
  them equally seriously.
• You would rather be pushed than protected. The right person for you is also a bit of a
  rival, and that never entirely goes away.
• It understands the actual problem in ambitious relationships. Not whether you love each
  other, but whose turn it is this year.
• You would still be competing at forty. That is how you would know it was working.

The intensity was never the problem. The secrecy is. You are
drawn to a love that lives entirely in private, and to the particular ache of wanting
somebody you are not supposed to want.

• Heated Rivalry runs on the oldest engine in romance: two people on opposite sides,
  meeting in secret, getting far more attached than either of them planned.
• You keep your private life genuinely private, and something in you finds hidden things
  more real than public ones.
• The tension is not only between the two of them. It is between what they have and what
  it would cost either one to say it out loud.
• Years of this, and the whole story is really about whether either of them will finally
  stop hiding.

You do not do this cautiously. When it happens for you it is
immediate and total and it rearranges everything, and you would not accept a smaller version
of it.

• Titanic gave us the biggest romance in film history and then made it last about five
  days, which is precisely the point of it.
• You measure love by intensity rather than duration. A few days of the real thing beats
  decades of something merely comfortable.
• The film is not only about the romance. It is about a woman who went on to live an
  enormous life afterwards because of it.
• You would still be telling this story at a hundred years old, and telling it exactly the
  same way.

‘Good Fortune’ (2025)

Actor-comedian Aziz Ansari‘s feature directorial debut starring himself, Good Fortune follows Arj, a down-on-his-luck gig worker working for an uber-wealthy man named Jeff, whose life gets swapped with Jeff’s after an angel named Gabriel fails to show Arj the right path. This results in Gabriel losing his wings and living with mortals, while Arj and Jeff’s respective lives begin to unravel, leading to hilarious outcomes for all three of them. Keanu Reeves and Seth Rogen round out the main trio, with Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh as other notable characters.

Good Fortune is a strong directorial debut for Ansari, who brings his brand of humor alongside the phenomenal comedic deliveries of Reeves and Rogen, a combination that makes this film a delightful experience. While sometimes heavy-handed, the timely social satire and the comedic timing of the film are unmissable. The movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and has received generally favorable reviews from critics, earning praise for its quality humor and the comedic timing of its leading cast. The film easily ranks among the best comedies of 2025.
