The Hurt Locker

<< < (10/18) > >>

Light Engine:
It's kinda sad that although a science-fiction movie might win best picture for once, it's going to be Avatar instead of District 9

RallyMonkey:
Probably the least sad thing about Avatar winning Best Picture would be it beating District 9.

RallyMonkey:
I read an interesting article today that brought up some key issues I had with this film.

Once you get passed some fairly inane nitpicking at the beginning, I think the author makes some fairly good points. No matter how the director and reviewers want to portray the Hurt Locker as a small little indie movie, all in all, it's still a fairly straightforward Hollywood war movie. Most of the topics brought up in The Hurt Locker were also handled particularly better in this year's much less lauded The Messenger.

pilsner:
I like how they're only objection was the fairly minor point that every scene in the movie is absurd and wrong.  Huh.

E. Spaceman:
It's almost as if we were watching a work of fiction.
