I was talking to a friend the other day, going through the typical small talk that goes on at every conversation, and in response to whether anything interesting had happened, she told me she watched half a movie on Lifetime. Its summer, not everyone can go exploring the wilds of the jungle in search of adventure, so the movie counts as interesting.
She went on to remember the name of the movie, "Circle of Friends". Now, I don't have cable, so I have no clue what stuff that channel shows, but I thought what you are probably thinking. Something with that title on a channel called Lifetime is probably about a bunch of friends, life interferes with happiness of the group, drama ensues, and they discover that their friendship helps them overcome the hardships and everything is solved and happy by the end of the movie.
That would be the expected thing at any rate, but as she continued describing the part of the movie she saw she brought into this hallmark storyline in my head a very strange little plot twist. "Its about murders among a bunch of friends." Yeah, you read it right, murders. Circle of Friends clearly has someone in that group of happy travelers who is not friendly at all, that or has a particularly strange way of expressing this joyful bond.
I never found out whether she saw the first or last half of the movie so I don't know the actual plot of the thing, but the story in my head had gotten pretty strange with this murder theme suddenly bringing the happy bunch to a isolated forest where through stupidity and suspicion everyone gets cut down save for one person, likely a girl, that defeats the killer and escapes to be killed in the next movie.
Tune in next time to see what my imagination cooked up.
