The Hurt Locker

Good movie...just finished watching it.

We watched it last Sunday night--boy, it was a great movie. I liked the way there was no romantic angle, sappy stuff, glamorous stuff, etc. It portayed what our brave men and women in the armed forces do every day for us. It's a beautiful movie, but hard to watch (like Schindler's List is for me); "hard" meaning gut-wrenching.

Did you ever watch Generation Kill?

We saw it over the summer and liked it a lot. Very intense and thought-provoking. I hope Bigelow wins the Oscar for Best Director.

Is it rare for a picture that wasn't widely released on the big screen to be a major contender for best picture?

I'll be seeing Avatar next weekend.

The Hurt Locker is one of those films that can keep you on the edge of your seat.
