But seriously, Wilderness Survival for Girls was fun. I will not go over any of the bad points because, well, why bother? It was entertaining and kept me engaged and guessing. I've never heard of any of the actresses but I enjoyed their performances.
The end of the movie did have me comparing it to another "girl gets revenge" thriller. Has anyone seen Hard Candy? No breasts or lesbian action but amazing performances by Ellen Page and Patrick Wilson. I'd be interested to hear some thoughts from everyone on that movie. It is one of those films that has me so conflicted - but I'm pretty sure I love it.
I also watched The Tillman Story today. I remember when the news of his death broke and all the subsequent conflicting details and cover-ups that came in the years afterwards. This documentary does not provide any new information. Rather, it is a well-done summary of everything the Tillman family has gone through in order to understand what really happened to their son.
My Sexual Failures is a Sundance documentary that I caught a few nights ago. This pathetic film-maker attempts to interview his ex-girlfriends in order to understand why they keep breaking up with him. Things happen that really are not that interesting and then it ends and you are angry because he meets a hot girlfriend by the end.

| Brick City |
I also watched two episodes of a Sundance series called Brick City. It is a documentary about Newark Mayor Cory Booker and is really, really interesting. I am having trouble not referring to it as "real life The Wire" so I'll just end with this: Cory Booker is awesome.
Alright, one more shout-out for Community. The D&D episode was fantastic.
