Movie Review

This evening the other DrC and I watched the film The Hurt Locker about a team of EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) guys in Baghdad during the Iraq War. The film won six Oscars, those for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Sound Editing.

Hurt Locker has an Oscar-winning woman director but if the results in my household are any indication, this is a guy film. I liked it, the other DrC did not. In fact, she tuned it out about a half hour in and started doing stuff on her laptop. So I guess we give it one thumb up, one thumb down.

-------------

During the month of March the DrsC will watch more films than we'll see during the other 11 months. Once a year we do a deal with Blockbuster where for around $25 we can watch a new movie every night for a month if we choose. Some years it might be January or February, this year it is March. We don't get around to getting a new DVD every night, so in the month we may see 15 films - for us that's a lot and the price is right.
