<i>Super Size Me</i> (2004) — The Bowdoin Orient

Now Playing: Better Off Dead (1985)

Presented by the Bowdoin Film Society Friday & Saturday, 7:00 p.m., Smith Auditorium

John Cusack, clay-mation hamburgers, and numerous failed suicide attempts. All the traditional features of cinematic greatness are represented in this 80s staple.

Now Playing: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly (1966)

Eastwood, van Cleef and Wallach are the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Watch as these three men battle each other for possession of a stolen cash box. No, this is not just another horse opera with black hats and six shooters. Sergio Leone's stunning visual style and Ennio Morricone's groundbreaking score (later to be covered by Metallica and all but copied in Kill Bill Vol. II) will redefine how you think about the western.

Super Size Me (2004)

Presented by the Bowdoin Film Society Friday & Saturday, 7:00 p.m., Smith Auditorium

October 1, 2004

Director: Morgan Spurlock

Starring: Morgan Spurlock

Synopsis: Eating nothing but McDonalds for a month straight might seem like a dream come true for some, but when Morgan Spurlock concocts his own Golden Arches meal plan, the consequences are nightmarish. Spurlock's shocking?and sometimes disgusting?descent into liver disease and heart trouble serves as a caustic critique of the fast food industry, which, he argues, is a chief cause of the American obesity epidemic. Don't miss this "Michael Moore lite" muckraking documentary; you just might swear off of Big Macs forever.
