Today I saw The Hurt Locker. I was surprised that nobody mentioned about this movie.
The Hurt Locker is a gripping movie that contains some thrilling sequences. The story is about US Army bomb disposal squad working in Baghdad.
Director Kathryn Bigelow made a perfect war movie in the 21st century like Stanley Kubrick made the Full Metal Jacket. So far, I thought "Near Dark" is her best work, but now "The Hurt Locker" is her best work, definitely. There was no exaggerated music, so it was like a documentary film. Not only action scenes. It was very realistic. Some bomb-blown scenes astonished me, and my butt jumped from the seat.
Perhaps I should say I enjoyed this movie, but I didn't enjoy. This is NOT enjoyable movie.

It's THE HURT LOCKER against AVATAR for the Best Picture Oscar, so the insiders say.

That's right, Mike. I heard about that.
I think The Hurt Locker will get the Best Picture and the Best Director, AVATAR will get special effect, sound effect, cinematography, etc.
Just my guesses.

I am honestly hoping "Up" will surprise everyone and win best picture. I know it won't happen but I can hope.
and thanks for your review Kenji, I haven't seen the Hurt Locker yet but have only heard good things about it. It is high on my list of movies to see.

I haven't seen "Up" yet, so I can't compare them. But "Up" vs. "The Hurt Locker"........I'll bet "The Hurt Locker" everything.

That's one of my favorite movies.
But after I saw Hot Fuzz, I can't stop laughing at that moment.
