This horror show from Dutch director Tom Six will be heaven for devotees of four-star torture porn and zero-star hell for everyone else. Hence the averaged-out rating. Plot: a nutjob German scientist, Dr. Heiter (Dieter Laser), locks two American babes (Ashley C. Williams, Ashlynn Yennie) and a Japanese tourist (Akihiro Kitamura) in his underground lab for a fiendish experiment that would make Jigsaw drop his jaw. Linking his victims by digestive tract, the good doc gives new meaning to the phrase "ass to mouth." His goal is to create a human centipede. And does he ever! The only way to react is by bringing a barf bag or a strong sense of gallows humor.

    “My President”

    Young Jeezy | 2008

    Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
