The Hurt Locker (2009,  R)
The Hurt Locker
The Hurt Locker is easily the best movie I've seen this year so far. Jeremy Renner (The Unusuals) gives a star making performance as a soldier in Iraq who diffuses bombs. While the movie is always gripping and full of tension. It also has good appearances by Guy Pearce, Ralph Fiennes and David Morse. Since the Oscars will now have 10 nominations for Best Picture instead of just five, the Hurt Locker definitely should get nominated.

Defiance (2009,  R)
Defiance
Four Jewish brothers escape to a forest where they meet others Jews who escaped the Nazis. The two older brothers played by Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber decide to the survivors against the Nazis.

The movie is moving with powerful performances by Craig and Schreiber. Schreiber especially is always dependable no matter what role he's playing. I've always been impressed by him but i think he does his best work in this movie. I'd love to see him get a nomination but I doubt that will happen since this movie actually wasn't critically acclaimed. I for one enjoyed seeing Jews fight back and killing Nazis.
