So far, halfway through 2009 (wow... it feels like it was January 20th just yesterday), my favorite film of the year is Kathryn Bigelow's terse and jagged Iraqi war thriller The Hurt Locker. I'm still haunted by it days after seeing it. Over at Hammer to Nail, I reviewed the film yesterday. I hate to resort to blind advocacy, but really, by all means at your disposal, see this movie.
