But after I saw Hot Fuzz, I can't stop laughing at that moment.
Mercy! THE HURT LOCKER did a pretty good sweep.

Mad American, you should check this movie. This movie has massive destructive power.
I will take your advice and see the Hurt Locker Kenji. It sounds like something I would like.
You should watch "Up" when you get a chance. It is animated but is one of the sweeter, funnier movies I have seen in a long time. There is one sequence (I won't say too much and ruin it for you) but the sequence shows the man and his wifes life, without any dialogue, that is really really well done.

I know what you're talking about. My wife and I were choking back the tears.

I saw Hot Fuzz and Point Break. I don't get it. Then again, I havent' seen PB since it was in the theater.

I trust your review. I'll watch "Up" on DVD. Thanks.

In what I thought was one of the defining moments of the Oscars, the first person to stand up applauding when Kathryn Bigelow's name was announced was James Cameron.
The man is a genius, and has class.

I saw this when it first came out. I can't remember a film that has been able to ratchet up the tension like this one did. Everything was tense and intense. It wasn't predictable.
SPOILERS BELOW!
Guy Pearce's character was killed off ten minutes into the movie. Perfect casting if you're trying to make a point with an unexpected death scene. He's not a big star but he can certainly carry a film and I went into the film not knowing anything about it and firgured he was the main dude. What's more, how he died was a total surprise. He was outside the blast radius, after the explosion I figured he'd pop up shaken but a little wiser for the experience. Nope, he died. From that point on you knew anything could happen.
What I liked best about the film was that that Renner had a super hot wife and a cool little baby that really meant nothing to him. He was just killing time until he could step back into his real life. Not that that's a cool way to be but it was a hell of a realization for a viewer.
I'l probably rewatch this later this week, I never did figure out if the kid that died was actually his buddy or just a kid that looked like him.

Yeah, classy.
