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.

    “Help Me”

    Joni Mitchell | 1974

    Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
