Chuck Palahniuk's novel Fight Club is a stunning piece of literary fiction. When I first read it I was blown away by the narrative voice present, laden with fierce and bleak language with an undertone of unchecked rage towards a society focussed on individualism and consumerism. Capturing all that is one thing, but also managing to mould all this into a plot that is filled with twists and turns and is perfectly paced without getting lost in all its ideas,…

(Film 12 of Toby's Attempt At The December Project)

What is there to say about this film that hasn't been said a hundred times before? It's on nearly every list of favourite films on this website, as well on others. It's become one of those films that people tell you you absolutely have to see. Like now. Why are you still here?

Probably because you've seen this before. Probably because you're remembering the first time you saw this. The way…

"First rule of Fight Club: You do not talk about Fight Club. Second rule of Fight Club: You DO NOT talk about Fight Club!"
How bout we break the first two rules of Fight Club and talk about it? We probably should'nt, but it's so damn good you can't help but talk about it.

David Fincher does a brilliant job adapting Chuck Palahniuk's amazing book into an even better film. Edward Norton is excellent as always. Brad Pitt slips into…

Fight Club is my favorite movie of all-time, and compared to every movie I've ever seen, I think it's by far the best film ever made. It's a perfect movie. In fact, it's the perfect movie. And there's dozens of components that go in to making the perfect movie, or more specifically, my perfect movie. So here's a list of a few:

Narrator: This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.

It's hard for me to explain what exactly makes this film so damn good, but, as hard as it may be, I'll try.

1. The Acting.

It's absolutely brilliant. Tyler Durden is acted out to perfection by Brad Pitt, and is, quite possibly, my favorite character ever put on film. He alone is a reason to watch the film.

Edward Norton captures this innocent, white-collar slave…

I had watched this movie so long ago and I remembered I really liked it, but upon re-watching it I had completely forgotten how incredibly mind-fucking this film is. And not just because of the incredible twist towards the end where everything starts to make sense (want to keep this spoilers-free), but the whole premise of the film.

Fight Club tells the story about a normal guy that has a seemingly normal life: he has…
