It was nearly 10 years ago that David Fincher adapted Chuck Palahniuk's controversial novel Fight Club into a film that became an international cult phenomenon - in more ways than one. In the intervening years, many have proposed other Palahniuk-based film projects but none of them ever got off the ground - until now. Actor-director Clark Gregg bravely stepped up to the plate to helm Choke, a dark comedy based on Palahniuk's novel of the same name, and he even raked in some half-decent actors to star in it, including that ever-reliable scoundrel Sam Rockwell. Will Gregg's work hold a candle to Fincher's formidable flames? We even squeezed in some quick reviews on Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Eagle Eye just for good measure.
