Super Size Me

Why are Americans so fat? Two words: fast food. What would happen if you ate nothing but fast food for an entire month? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock does just that and embarks on the most perilous journey of his life. The rules? For 30 days he can't eat or drink anything that isn't on McDonald's menu; he must wolf three squares a day; he must consume everything on the menu at least once and supersize his meal if asked. Spurlock treks across the country interviewing a host of experts on fast food and an equal number of regular folk while chowing down at the Golden Arches. Spurlock's grueling drive-through diet spirals him into a physical and emotional metamorphosis that will make you think twice about picking up another Big Mac.

Gohda rating: 5/5
Gohda comments: I think you can actually OD by watching this movie more than once every few years. High in saturated never-give-up-hope and a message that is as subtle as a crazed stampede of

Wildebeest

with shotguns.

Shaun Of The Dead

Shaun is a 29-year-old with no real ambition in life, much to the consternation of his friends, family, and fed-up girlfriend. With only a loyalty to his lazy best friend Edgar, a dead-end job where his employees step on him, and the good-ol' days, Shaun isn't exactly putting his best foot forward. But when the flesh-hungry undead start to rise in numbers around modern-day London, Shaun must come to the rescue of his girlfriend and mother before all hell breaks loose. With loyal Edgar at his side to fight the good fight, the two will have to pave their way through zombie-ridden London as Shaun must take on the first real challenge in his life--with comical results.

Gohda rating: 10/5
Gohda comments: The first ever zom-rom-com (i think), fucking hilarious, made with a love and respect of the zombie genre, and a damn good movie all in one. Check out the awesome imdb trivia on this movie which makes watching it again even more cool than it was the last time - link - legends.
