Super Size Me

This was an excellent documentary. I already don't eat at McDonald's so I didn't really need to be educated on how crappy the food is and harmful it is to your body. The doctors were a little surprised in the end at Morgan's condition...come on, really? - He ate high fat, high carb, high sugar, high salt meals three times a day. I was a little shocked that the doctors were shocked.

The best part, was his interview with Eric Schlosser of Fast Food Nation. I love topics centered around how Corporate America is destroying the world. I now have another good reason not to give fastfood chains my money.

I think it is a little ironic that a semi-captialist (and I say this because I still do believe in socialism to an extent)would trash talk about companies like Wal-Mart and McDonald's who (as a capitalist would say) help the economy. Wrong! Child labour, poor treatment of workers, shitty wages don't do anything good for economy, oh, and not too mention have helped to plague the world of obese and unhealthy individuals.

I think I am feeling a little fiesty. I probably should quit.

You of course realize that in order to review 11 movies in 7 days you are going to have to pick up the pace. Either that or you'll have to take notes during the movie so that you have accurate reviews (and really who can take notes when you're snuggling your sweetie?).

Still, keep the reviews coming and let me know when/where you want to pick up your ticket for Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan.
