After watching the Hesher post, and realizing that I somehow missed all the good movies at Sundance this year despite the fact that I had TICKETS…I did remember that I saw one good movie; Restrepo. I don’t remember if I mentioned how good this film was to anyone, but I think it was the best documentary I have ever seen.
