On my short list of greats movies this year (and I do mean short), is Kathyrn Bigelow’s superb and flawless The Hurt Locker. This is an Iraq war film that destroys all others. Tons of tension, excellent acting, a realistic presentation and a great story. If you’re done wasting money on crap like the Transformers, please do cinema a favor and check out The Hurt Locker. If you’re not convinced, then here are the opening 8-minutes of this truly remarkable film.
