This week in movies

I’ve been watching a few movies of late. Lets have two quick reviews. The Hurt Locker Now I’ll be honest here… I really really don’t understand the hype. To me it’s just another Hollywood war movie glorifying war. Jarod’s rating? 2 inconceivable bomb defusings out of 5. I can’t embed the trailer, but if you’d(click to read the full post)
