Well, I've now seen 6 of the 10 Best Picture films after watching The Hurt Locker last night. Spellbinding movie, I can see why it won.

Ranking the ones I've seen, I would put it first followed by Precious, Inglourious Basterds, Up, Blind Side and Up in the Air.

Still have to see District 9, Avatar, An Education, and A Serious Man.

Not sure if anything's in this thread about this -- rented The 4th Kind last night.

One of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen! I love sci-fi, horror..... and this was really creepy.

I know there's some that say that the whole thing was a hoax. Whether or not it was, it was still pretty wild & I thought the movie was done well blending original footage & audio with the actors.

I figured the Academy was just trying to make up for not giving any love to 'Point Break,' which was the perfect wave of a movie, but 'The Hurt Locker' was really good. Maybe a little long, but that's the only way to win an Oscar.

Point Break is the reason I do most of my banking while sporting a Ronald Reagan mask. It's right there with Iron Eagle on my list of guilty plaesure flicks.

I kept waiting for Kiedis and Flea to appear in 'The Hurt Locker,' preferably with the naked chick. Best picture my lazy left eye.

The preview for Robert Rodriguez's new 'Predator' is available wherever you watch trailers. They have to pay homage to either 'If it bleeds we can kill it,' or 'Get to the chopper!!!' but they didn't. Is Vegas setting odds on Topher Grace becoming a governor?

I watched Project X last night. What an unusual movie. I tried to like it, but hated the ending.

Up in the Air-Hilarious movie, but not Best Picture worthy. Although the [expletive] Hurt Locker won, so maybe it is. 7/10

Where the Wild Things Are-I have had several people tell me this was the worst movie they've ever watched. Those people are idiots. I wouldn't put it up with the top movies I've watched this year but it was solid and entertaining. 6/10
