One Direction to get a documentary, totes not a joke
I really wish this was a demented joke, but sadly that's not true. Morgan Spurlock, yes the semi-respectable documentary director of Comic-Con: A Fan's Hope and Super Size Me, and Simon Cowell (former American Idol jerk and 1D discoverer) are producing a documentary about the concert life of current boy band sensation, One Direction (not those Wanted guys, sadly) according to The Hollywood Reporter. That's honestly a sentence I never thought I would write during my time here on Flixist. Note this day everyone. The day where all hope died. The film is scheduled for a August 30th, 2013 release (in 3D no less), so start preparing the bunkers now I guess. Think I'm overeacting to the news just because I bought into that Glee concert movie? The video above is evidence of the musical genius these boys have graced the world with. [via THR] Did you know?

9:00 AM on 05.03.2013 Review: ArousedAroused is an odd documentary. It's essentially an advertisement for director Deborah Anderson's art book (which she makes sure to plug in the film), and although at times the entire film seems disingenuous, it's hard to deny...
