Choke (2008) - 7/10

This afternon I revisited Choke, a film that had recently been adapted from a book by Chuck Palaniuk. I usually read the novel before going to see a movie in theatres or whatever, so thinking back on this now, I can definitely say i enjoyed the book more, though the movie is worth checking out now that it's on DVD. With all of Palaniuk's novels, the main character played by Sam Rockwell is hilarous, a conflicted and morally flawed character who eventualy sees the changes he needs to make in his life when he's at his lowest point in his sexual debauchery. This movie is funny not b/c it shows a guy who knows all the ins and outs of the sexual addiction circuit and ways to piss people off, but it's thinking that there are really people out there who pay to be raped b/c it fulfills their fantasy or the sick idea of having an anal bead lost in your ass. The reason i like this movie is the delight of seeing someone be a complete asshole to everyone around him, yet know that he thinks about geting better and allowing his friends to still try to help him fight his sex addiction. Did you even know there is a cult who intentionally keeps the bathroom door on an airplane unlocked to "surprise" someone with sex? Awesome. Looking forward to goin home tonight and watch Body of Lies and Changeling Blu Ray PIP...
