Plot:
In Boy Eats Girls the horror of school takes on a whole new meaning. Forget about the threat of the classroom bully, the anxiety of the rugby field or even the dread of being spurned by the girl you fancy; when your schoolmates develop a taste for human flesh it pays to know who your friends are, and what they've been eating...
Extras:
- Scene Access
- Bonus Trailers
- Featurettes
- Closed Captioned
My Thoughts:
I decided to go ahead and watch this one next... since it was the last movie in the 4 movie set I had to watch to get it out of my unwatched pile. I ended up enjoying this one quite a bit. It turned out to be just an all-around fun movie. I liked the story... I like the characters... most of the special effects was good. Though some of it did look fake. This is a comedy horror... while some of the comedy was not the best... over all I enjoyed it. It is definitely worth checking out. It turns out the 2 movies I watched today from this set (Tamara and Boy Eats Girl) were my favorites out of this 4 movie set. I got this set at Walmart for only $5... that is $1.25 per film... definitely worth the price if you get the chance to pick it up.My Rating:

Deliver Us from Evil, a review by Antares
Deliver Us from Evil (2006) 85/100 - When this documentary was over, I felt like I needed a shower, the content had been so sickeningly vile. Director Amy Berg was actually able to find a priest, who sexually abused countless children, including a 9 month old infant girl, to appear on camera and tell his story. At the beginning of the film, he appears contrite, sorrowful and ashamed for what he had done. But as more allegations are presented and the heinous nature of his actions are recounted by his victims, his demeanor seems to drift towards a "detached from reality" form of lecherous depravity. A couple of times I wanted to reach through the screen and just beat the living shit out of him when he would laugh or smirk when talking about certain events.
I've never understood why the courts can't use Federal RICO statutes against the Catholic Church. They are running, what is essentially a conspiratorial cover up of continuing criminal activities by the clergy. I've known two priests who have been accused of inappropriate behavior with minors. One was a priest in our parish when I was a child, the other, a classmate who went on to become a priest in adulthood. And both of them fit the pattern of mild mannered, yet seductively predatory. It makes one wonder how anyone can still have faith in the Roman Catholic church. I did come away with one bit of information that I did not know before watching the film. Celibacy in regards to Catholic priests, was instituted in the 4th century AD. It wasn't preached by Jesus, nor was it begun by Peter, the first Pope. According to Father Thomas Doyle, a rebel priest who fights on behalf of victims, it was started to keep a priest's wealth in the church after they died. And when you really get down to it, that is what the Catholic Church has always been about... money.
Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

A great series which sadly only got one season. This series felt more real than any other TV series about high school life that I have seen. I was constantly reminded about my own school. Nothing specific but the general feel to it.
This series also introduced me to a lot of actors who later popped up in many movies and TV shows. Like James Franco, Jason Segel and Seth Rogen.
