 If you are looking for the mind-numbing special effects movie-goers have come to expect at your neighborhood multiplex, don’t order this magnificently real perspective on war in general. The Hurt Locker won the 2010 Best Picture Oscar…against strong competition from a technologically overwrought marvel like Avatar. Leave it to a woman, Kathryn Bigelow, to direct the 2010 Best Picture Oscar winner. This is not a movie about the politics of war; this is a movie about war being the job that the characters do. And, speaking of characters…Jeremy Renner is magnificent as the resourceful staff sergeant who is addicted to the adrenaline rush of life-on-the-edge.
Interesting, isn’t it, how there are some movies that are best enjoyed in the privacy of your home…instead of a crowded theater? Your home is the perfect setting to view this intense and “must see” Best Picture of the year. |
During Howard Stern's Sirius satellite show this week, co-host Robin Quivers commented that Oscar-nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) should have looked around at the Oscars and noticed that none of the other working actresses looked like her. The comments made on Stern's show sparked a heated debate among moviegoers and industry observers, with some believing the shock-jock was simply saying what everyone else is thinking.
