Hurt Locker nominated for Best Picture...

[Zod]

By far the best Iraq War movie made.

Best actor, director, screenplay, and picture.

It has more suspense than any movie I have ever seen.

ON a relatively small budget, little if any CGI, I am hoping it wins over Cameron's Avatar. Interesting note, the Hurt Locker was directed by Cameron's ex-wife, only the 4th time a woman has been nominated for best director.

If you have not seen this movie, do so.

[Go To Girl]

Another one of your favorites nominated as well - Up.

No surprise on Hurt Locker. 10 films is too many. Quit diluting the importance geez.

I think Hurt will get the win and maybe even director, where Avatar gets a few of the techs.

I think Bullock will win best Actress.

Bridges for Actor.

10 allows movies that most people have actually seen be nominated so the TV show is going to be more appealing to the masses. Ratings is what they are after. The outcome won't change.

Movie was average. The best actor in the movie died in the first scene.

Maybe. I think the general public has so much disdain for Hollywood. But, giant epics like Avatar may pull more viewers in like Titanic did in 97.

this year was an especially bad year to expand the field. The majority of films up there have no business being there. What a shitty year for movies.

Son and I watched it a couple of weeks ago and I thought the same thing. I love movies like that but it there was nothing about it that made it really stand out from anything else to me. A good movie, but nothing special. Maybe I missed something. As far as Irag war movies, I actually like Three Kings with Ice Cube in it more.

All it was missing was a Bon Jovi soundtrack

i love three kings but it and hurt locker have almost nothing in common.

Hurt locker was brilliant in its simplicity and realism. No politics. No outlandish gun fights. You are just transported and shown as best that can be shown what it must feel like to be one of those men, and the shit they really do have to deal with.

So you have honestly never seen a more suspenseful movie than Hurt Locker? I find that hard to believe. How about a movie that is actually in the "suspense" genre? On the suspense scale it might be a 3 out of 10 (yes there is a suspense scale).

Valkyrie was more suspenseful than the Hurt Locker and everyone knew that they weren't going to actually suceed in killing Hitler!

I am not bashing the movie, because it was worth watching but calling it the most suspenseful movie you have ever seen is a biiiiiiig stretch. (although I suppose this may only be the 4th or 5th movie you have ever watched I suppose).

I think it's fair to say that it does have some of the most suspenseful scenes.
