Last Tuesday, the front page of The New York Times was emblazoned with some of the most exciting political news since Obama's victory in November--—Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania plans to switch parties and run on the Democratic ticket in 2010.
Gregor Jordan's ""The Informers"" is a new window into the world that Bret Easton Ellis has been creating since the publication of ""Less Than Zero"" in 1985. It is a world of recurring and interchangeable characters, extravagant wealth and nihilistic depravity. This can be seen in the film adaptation of his novel ""American Psycho,"" which augments the text nicely, largely due to an impressive performance by Christian Bale, and has become a unique reference point for Ellis, who comments on the movie version in his quasi-autobiographical ""Lunar Park."" The film version of ""The Informers,"" however, has been ravaged in reviews thus far. Although it is certainly not a great film—it is mediocre—I feel that some of these critics might have missed the point.
