Fight Club

How many people out there saw the movie "Fight Club" with Edward Norton and Brad Pitt? I bet if we took a poll the numbers would fall heavily to the side of men seeing it. I know that I had purposely never rented it because really, who wants to see a bunch of men beating each other bloody? Well in a conversation with my friend Kate she asked me if I had ever seen it and when I said no she immediately made plans to dump her kids at her moms and have me over for dinner so we could watch the movie.

I'm not going to give anything away I just want to encourage everyone who hasn't see the movie to do so. I want to be clear though...this is not for kids - not even close. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt are really at the top of their game here and if you can get past the violence and see it for what it really is - a reflection of society you can really begin to get into the psychology of the movie. There is a bit of fist fighting but the truly bloody scenes are few and far between. I'm not a huge Brad Pitt fan but let me tell you that Tyler Durden is now officially one of my favorite movie characters.

When the all of the pieces start falling together in this movie it throws you for a huge loop. It's the kind of thing that you just sit and look at the screen with your mouth open. Immediately you think I have to see this again and again and again because now that you know the secret other things will make even more sense.

See the movie - close your eyes during the bloody scenes if you have to but see the movie.
