Oscarbation: I Just Don't Get 'The Hurt Locker' Push and Praise



i've been holding back but...

the first 10 minutes are riveting and the rest of the minutes are the first 10 redux.

i could not recommend this film to anyone!!!

but those 10 minutes could secure the director win.

Oscarbation: Judi Dench and Peter Finch
