Hey you .. Hear me! This flick had a Donnie Darkish feeling to in the begining, very stylish rad editing that barely been used before which feels right at home then things move more naturally and less donnie darkish but still move pretty well.

Ahh college time , Some yuppie folks indeed had college times like these.. not those planted in big colleges but the lucky ones who were in more limited ones .. they had drugs n' alcohol swimmin' in blood , students screwin' teachers and fellow students ..daily and nightly.

I heard many arguments of that basing this outside the 80s was a mistake, maybe it was and prehaps it doesn't captures the spirit of the book , one thing for sure this has a spirit of it's own and is much more appealing to modern audience than if it was indeed taking place at the shameful haircutish 80s ..  shamely I haven't read the novel by Bret Easton Ellis and American Psycho another novel he wrote which was supposedly accruing in the 80s it been portrayed pretty well in Mary Harron's flick which felt timeless.. same with this one, shit like this just been happenin' for the last twenty years.

Whichever idiot claims that this a bad flick sets his mind against film making at it's best .. film making that is all together entertaining , shocking n' keeps you wonder at once.

It indeed might not do justice to the novel and might miss character description and the charm between their chemistry even tho characters here are full of spice here and got enough chemistry to suffice a barrel full of napalm.. All mixed with wonderful Camera work , editing and they right soundtrack.

Every scene here is atmospheric enough to spend public money on launching monkey astranauts over there,

Never seen Van Der Beek anywhere but in TV spots for Dawson's Creek , but damn I underestimated the guy ,I was wrong he indeed can do a proper evil face.. nha actually he done his part better than many others , Shannyn Sossamon was damn good too , Clifton Collins and the guy who plays Gay Kid's ol' family friend provide you with nothing but emotional goodness.

Sure friends come first but i still can't understand why Eric Stoltz played the teacher here , i mean he was cool in Killing Zoe but here he plays the same role as a teacher .. perhaps it's only sillyme , anyway bet his friends still hassle him about how he been kicked out of Back to the future  , the gay kid could at least cry as gay kids cry.

Many scenes here which'll makeya laugh yer guts out too ifya up to drug stillyness and Sixteen Candles goodness .. it might not be as heart warming but it still as fun.

Not willing to spoil but i'de have to give away some info regarding another film that is getting ready for shootings by Avery , it's an another adaptation of Bret Easton Ellison's novel ; Glamorama which will concentrate on Victor's (Kip Pardue) adventures around the world, some clues about what'll go on there been implanted in Rules of Attraction n' the whole things looks very promising.

This a great directing achievement for Avary in many ways and i'm glad he got away with the rating since this flick could easily be very hardly censured by the megalomanic idiots at CARA , read in some interview that after the troubles he got with rating Killing Zoe he concedered writting less material that might scare those "moral" fuckers .. i got quite a surprice with Rules Of Attraction, wonder in which parts he contributed own material.

This kind of a cooler , darker version of Sixteen Candles  an instant classic which makesme glad that Avery decided to go for it.
