Directed by: Frank Darabont Starring: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman,
The Review:
What else to say? Best movie ever. Can't see why this movie didn't receive any of those prestigious statue. Absolutely better than Forrest Gump in overall.
Frank Darabount, he deserved that Oscar, well even though Zemeckis also deserved (and he got it), I consider it as tie. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were absolutely beyond normal.
Great adapted screenplay, unfortunately lost to Forrest Gump. A nice score too. And again, the best of it, the story, thanks to Stephen King.
Best Moment: That rain scene.

Fight Club

First, just few days before I watched this movie, I've watched a horrible movie (just check my Meet Dave's review) and I got my mood back in town. This movie was amazing! Two hours of dazzling moments. One of greatest movie in my life and it was so mind-blowing!
Edward Norton is a top class actor, and so is Brad Pitt. Both of them showed a quality acting in this movie. Both of them was know what were they doing and the audience didn't waste their time watching them both. Both of them was the central character and they were the center of the attention (which mean the rest of the cast except Helena was fringes cast or character). Helena played well here, and as we know that she's a quality actress. And I felt that Edward Norton narrated the movie well.
This movie has a twist (that made this movie a masterpiece). Even tough I've known the twist already (which I couldn't tell here), still this movie was enjoyable and maybe if I didn't knew the twist, I would feel that this movie was indescribable. As the story goes by, you would understand all points of the movie after around 3/4 of the movie and you'll find yourself watching a brilliant artwork.
Almost forgot, quotes from this movie were good, well most of them (yes, but not Tyler's quote that said something bad about God, I hate the fact that he said that). And other thing, did you know that Ed's character's name didn't actually revealed? Even tough later he was assumed as .... sorry couldn't tell you (Imdb.com wrote him as a Narrator.)
For (some) of my last words, if anyone (who read this review) had similar problem like Edward Norton's character's problem, you shouldn't try something like fight club anywhere! And maybe if peoples often tell you that you often talk to yourself, you have to be careful, you wouldn't like an imaginary friends like someone. (Hey careful, It's the movie's clue!)
