New in Theaters: April 30, 2010
This week’s wide releases are the kind of “entertainment” that make me hate the movie industry: Cheap, intellectually bankrupt family films – with fading “stars” and remakes that studios use to get big opening weekends off the name recognition alone. But without movies like these that are pretty much guaranteed to make money, the studios wouldn’t be able to take any risks on more mature or eccentric movies. I can live with that.

The Human Centipede – (Trailer – Not suitable for watching while eating, or thinking about eating)
I’ve seen and respected Salo but even I may be too prudish to watch this one. Just thinking about three people surgically attached, end-to-end, to make a continuous digestive system is enough to make me turn green.
