Mary Harron's American Psycho (2000) has become sort of a modern classic over the years despite not being super well-received back in the day. The secret? Christian Bale's killer performance. Now, we've learned that Luca Guadagnino's new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel has recruited an actor who could match or top those vibes: Austin Butler.

Like it or not, a live-action Naruto movie seems to be coming from Hollywood after spending many years in development hell. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is currently attached to the project, and while he might have the directing sauce needed to pull off a flashy manga/anime adaptation, we're understandably worried about such a tricky transition regardless.

It's pretty rare that I walk out of a movie theatre thinking "I truly just wasted 90+ minutes of my life watching that." Normally, I get something out of whatever it was I watched, be it joy or elation at best, perhaps anger or frustration at worst. Those negative feelings at least mean I'm feeling anything at all, they're feelings I can work with and talk about. But when I walked out of the Borderlands movie, I think all I felt was… apathy? A general sense of "what was the point"? Which is probably the most damning thing I could say about any piece of art, but calling the Borderlands movie 'art' is too generous.
