The Hurt Locker
This movie was on TV last night – we didn’t rent it, we rented something called iMurder (or iMurders – forget which) and it was shit so we turned it off and looked for something on TV.
It was good. It’s a war movie (as you probably know) and the story starts with a small team of men whose team leader has just died. A new guy comes in to replace him but the new guy is a real cowboy, as in not sending the robot out to see if there are bombs but, instead, going to check it out himself. We don’t know in the movie (or at least I didn’t) whether or not this cowboy (played by Jeremy Renner… never heard of him) has a death wish, but he always manages to come out without getting blown up.
I know this movie won an award (over Avatar and I’m glad it did – too much hype about Avatar). It held our interest. Neither my snookey nor I were doing the one-eyed shuffle. I’d even see it again. So you might as well see it. Maybe it was on one of those movie channels we have, so you might still have to rent it.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Hmm, another one I can add to my rental list. Been kind of undecided if I should see it or not.
