I don't eat very much fast food to begin with, but this didn't exactly make me want to go out and grab a Big Mac. Though I do think Spurlock exaggerated a bit near the first, he did have some very strong points. Some of the scenes were pretty disturbing, more-so than any horror movie you can find. Though hilarious in parts, he certainly knows how to get his point across through comedy. The animated sequences were especially effective. I don't agree with the scene where he showed the bypass surgery though...seemed like it was there simply for the shock value. Overall though, this was a great documentary, and I'm truly surprised that it didn't have a bigger effect on the fast food industry.

8.5/10

Pit and the Pendulum [1964]


When you hear discussion about the best horror films of all time, certain titles come up more than others. The Exorcist, Psycho, The Shining, ect. Why this film is not mentioned among them is beyond my comprehention. Vincent Price gives what I would consider the greatest performance of his long and distinguished career. The expression in his amazing voice, the look in his eyes, the sudden reversal of character near the end of the film...only a true genius such as Price could pull it off. Roger Corman does an equally amazing job behind the camera, capturing the essence of the cursed castle perfectly. Rarely will you see atmosphere created so flawlessly, however atmosphere is Corman's gift and he uses it to it's full advantage here. He spins a yarn of deciet, murder, insanity and death into one of the few perfect horror films.

10/10

There were some great moments for sure. Its a pretty solid series but Beyond Re-Aminator just lacked a little something compared to the other two flicks... still a enjoyable watch.
Mr Combs was awesome as usual and the film still had the dark sense of humour I enjoyed in the other films.

Pretty decent little psychological thriller with an interesting twist ending. This one flew completely under my radar. Was it ever even released in theaters? Overall: 7/10

Scared......Thai slasher flick....not bad....if only i spoke Thai.....download was not dubbed or subbed.....but i figured...how much dialogue is needed in a slasher....

Some creative kills...but not as gory as i was led to believe.
