Viewing Notes

Short movie night over at Ron’s. Brought The Hurt Locker with me figuring we’d both want to see it after all the early buzz. Follows an EOD unit in Bagdad offering a different take on the war in Iraq. Not quite as great as the festival hype would lead you to believe, it’s still a very good and fairly intense watch. Appearances by Ralph Fiennes, Guy Pearce and David Morse are terrific. Another decent turn by Kathryn Bigelow (of Point Break fame).
