Today I came across the Hurt Locker DVD and thought about buying it, but then I am not that sure if I want to own that movie ...

I'm going to put The Hurt Locker into my Netflix. I want to see it.

Yep, I would agree with that for the most part. I think I might've liked it a little better than you though. I'm a longtime fan of the director so I found myself absorbed by her amazing visual style just like always. She just has this way of capturing flat-out iconic images onscreen that I find unforgettable. And emotionally, I think THL blew right past Jarhead, which I loved.

I just finished watching The Hurt Locker. I find it incredibly hard to judge whether it really deserved Best Movie. And it's impossible to compare it to Avatar, because they're worlds apart. The Hurt Locker is a great film, if not one that can be really liked. It was very intense, and (though I can't judge this either) felt true to what war must really be like down there in Iraq. The Hurt Locker definitely had the better story, and definitely had-- I wouldn't say the better actors, but offered much more of a platform for the actors to actually be great. Jeremy Renner was fantastic, but everyone else was too.

I think this movie will leave a lasting impression, and that is to say a lot, especially since I only saw it on DVD and not in the theater.

Yep. Added and sent to #1. Thanks, Rick. Been meaning to check. I've got Let The Right One In at the moment. Gonna watch that this weekend, I hope.

The Open Road open here in LA last summer, very briefly. And I am pretty sure it is out on DVD already. I would check netflix Deb.

I'm greatly looking forward to seeing The Open Road. It looks good. I love Justin Timberlake and Mary Steenburgen.

It is the Open Road Deb, here is the link to imdb page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1007018/ Just for reference.

The hurt Locker appeared on dvd and in theater the same time in Texas.

John Hughes is great. One of my favorite directors.

It is? Then why didn't I hear about it until now? I never saw any sign of the movie being here. And I went to the theatre a lot.

I know. I hadn't heard about it before either. But I think it's the same in the US. The movie wasn't advertised at all in Germany. It came and went without being noticed. I'll bet it was only shown in few theaters, and then only one or two weeks.

I didn't know they had a movie together. Have to check it out.

NPH was OK, not spectacular.

The John Hughes thing has become my favorite part of the show in retrospect.

I was happy for Sandra. And she always gives great speech.

I absolutely expected Jeff Bridges to win and since I adore him, that made me very happy. Wish that movie he's in with Mary Steenburgen and Justin Timberlake would come out already.
