I'm still not sure what to think about it... it's kinda stupid but also a bit brilliant at the same time. It is certainly quite sad.

The last documentary that angered me (among MANY other emotions) was Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father.
If you're softhearted, definitely get all the info on the case before you watch. If not, and you go in completely uninformed like I did, expect to be blindsided (perhaps a few times) and emotionally drained by the end of it.
To quote one review, "I found myself in the unusual position of feeling guilty for inflicting Dear Zachary on my wife, not because it wasn’t good, but because, in a way, it was too good and I was left without the one comfortable refrain I could usually rely upon in this situation: “It’s only a movie.” Sadly, it was also reality, a reality, perhaps, that you don’t want to get emotionally invested in."
If you'd like a short summary of the documentary topic, I'd be happy to give one. If you'd like a more detailed one with a "spoiler" on the turning point of the film, I'd be happy to oblige. All I'll say for now is this is likely the most powerful documentary I'll ever see.

I have been recommended this film by many people due to the subject matter of the film I'm currently working on.
I may watch it tonight.

Limitless was actually better then I had anticipated. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who has nothing to do the rest of the weekend.

Saw Black Swan over the weekend.
Really, Unless you really want to see Mila Kunis munch the shit out of Natalie Portmans box. Pass. Seriously, its Fight Club with Ballet instead of fighting.

Fight Club? I really don't see it mirroring Fight Club except for a small part of the movie.

It's on Amazon Instant Videos. That's where I watched it.
As for Black Swan, I can't say it's for everyone, but I can't call it a pass either. That's not a fair judgment of it because it's not a dime a dozen movie where you can bet you've seen it before, it wasn't just slapped together. You just gotta watch it. May like it, may not, but it's not Fight Club: Ballerina Edition.

They're talking about "The Battle for Marjah"
Not on HBO anymore and not on Netflix. Apparently it is on Amazon.

Saw Source Code. Kind of weird a bit like Quantum Leap but not as good. I don't know if it is one I would recommend. Weird ending.
