A must watch film: FIGHT CLUB


Synopsis: FIGHT CLUB is narrated by a lonely, unfulfilled young man (Edward Norton) who finds his only comfort in feigning terminal illness and attending disease support groups. Hopping from group to group, he encounters another pretender, or "tourist," the morose Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), who immediately gets under his skin. However, while returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character--the subversive Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). They become fast friends, bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer-culture hypocrisy. Eventually, the two start Fight Club, which convenes in a bar basement where angry men get to vent their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle bouts. Fight Club soon becomes the men's only real priority; when the club starts a cross-country expansion, things start getting really crazy. Like Tyler Durden himself, director David Fincher's FIGHT CLUB, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is startlingly aggressive and gleefully mischievous as it skewers the superficiality of American pop culture. Outstanding performances by Norton and Pitt are supported by a razor-sharp script and an arsenal of stunning visual effects that include computer animation and sleight-of-hand editing. One of the most unique films of the late 20th century, FIGHT CLUB is a pitch-black comedy of striking intensity

Director: David Fincher/1999

New year, new life, new world

2010 has arrived and already brought some changes.
Our background is the most visible one [LOL]!
Every year's beginning we make lots of promises and most of the times we do not keep them. Why is that so?
Probably because we forget that we must celebrate not only the new year, but the new day, the new minute, new second, and whatever new things we face during the whole year. There is no sense in inventing new year's resolutions and forgetting them after January.
So, I am writing this as an invitation for you to re-think your attitudes towards life.
The willing to change is only yours to make it happen.
Seize every single day you have to live.


May 2010 be an excellent year for us all!
