Our April Title - American Psycho

 American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

A chaotic and Enigmatic portrait of the the image obsessed 1980's, "American Psycho" takes us in to the disturbed and detailed mind of Wall Street Wunderkind and Serial Killer Patrick Bateman.



Our Meeting and Screening for this title will be

Tuesday May 10th,2011
McMenamin's Backstage Bar
3702 SE Hawthorne Blvd.( behind Greater Trumps)
21+/ 7:00pm

A special screening of American Psycho(2000) will follow in the theater @ 8:30 pm






The 2000 film starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman is a marvelous translation of the book to film. 

Using satire and black comedy director Mary Harron  ( yes, it was directed by a woman! )
expands on the psycho-thriller nature of the novel to produce a very watchable and entertaining film.
