Yeah, I didn't think it'd get Best Picture.

Did think it deserved some credit for the ones it did get though, was a very lovely film art-wise.

I personally agree.

I was happy about that too, the Avatar storyline was not so great.

But, the creativity/thoughtfulness going into the world itself and how they executed it was phenomenal.

The art was very beautiful, but it struck me more as a Kid's Movie, than something with impact to the film community. It's easy to make pretty pixel-crack.

But birthing a story that stings the hearts of an audience is much harder. I was very glad to see The Hurt Locker take t.

I haven't seen the Hurt Locker yet, I'll be doing it soon, since it has been praised so highly. I really enjoy films that completely steal the heart of the viewer.

If you don't like war movies, I wouldn't recommend it. It's about a bomb-specialist sent to Iraq, to disarm traps set for American Soldiers.

EOD guys do a lot more than just clean up IED's. Depending on the branch they handle a wide range of missions and munitions. It's kind of funny when you consider that they handle things from flares and the explosives on ejection seats all the way up to the biggest bombs dropped by aircraft. I'm actually disappointed that the Hurt Locker didn't do a section with a range sweep since it's literally walking into areas that were bombed and looking for unexploded big bombs and cluster munitions.

Erh.. I grew up around these guys for the record XD

I like good movies :) So, I'd probably enjoy it. If a story is cohesive and characters developed well enough to connect with them I tend to enjoy the movie, whatever the content.
