Chronicle

This movie was shot entirely "documentary" style, and in that I mean that every shot was part of the film, being shown from the point of view of someone's video camera in the movie itself (a la the most famous example, Blair Witch).  Makes it feel a little disjointed and slow at times, but also gives you a more unique perspective into the characters themselves.  Very "fly on the wall".

The basic premise is that three friends absorb telekinetic powers from a mysterious source (never explained) and the movie proceeds to show the evolution of these powers, and how they decide to use them.  Predictable, in the usual unfortunate ways (one of the kids as a shitty home life, so he of course steers towards using his powers in destructive ways) but overall I enjoyed the movie.
