Those dweebs had a barrett, but sucked with it lol

Oh, one of them actually tried to use the Barrett, he raised his head and got shot.
One heck of a sniper, indeed  :rolleyes:

It's out on DVD and pay per view already...been out for a month. If you like action movies it's good, just don't go looking for much accuracy.

The Hurt Locker's main theme is how combat can become addictive like a drug. The leading character is a bomb disposal "war junkie". The whole movie is centered around that. It's a perspective on the psychological effects of war that has rarely been touched on before by the film industry. A well deserved Oscar winner.
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

You may be right, but then again film about day to day struggle of some  ghetto welfare fat slob took just as many maybe even more Oscars. Or Sandra Bullock's movie, Jesus Christ it seems like all it takes to get an Oscar(s) is shoot a movie about racism.

"The Blindside" Sandra Bullock's movie.......was a great movie. Sandra Bullock deserved every award she got for that part.

I watched it last night while waiting in Iraq for a flight to Kuwait. The scenery and the scenarios happen before in Iraq for sure, but the way it was portait in the film is not what really happens here. It's very holywooded!

Honestly i didn't watch it. But let me guess, its about white woman with adopted black kid  has to face  set of challenges to overcome while dealing with prejudice white and black comunity, am i right?
Maybe she was great in this movie but it isn't the reason why she won an Oscar.

Racial prejudice was a relatively minor aspect of that movie...

Its been done to death, same story with different actors. It was clear what its all about after watching previews, sometimes its all it takes.
