The Hurt Locker
Could it be? Are there movies worth seeing playing again in Ottawa? Saints be praised!

The Hurt Locker is playing in Ottawa! I repeat, critically-acclaimed, award-winning, best-damn-Iraq-war-movie-yet The Hurt Locker is finally here!  Consider the question of what to do this rainy Friday night resolved. You're spending it with Jeremy Renner and Kathryn Bigelow. You're welcome! The plot revolves around an expolsives ordinance disposal unit, and, uh, yeah. That's what you're getting.

The Brothers Bloom, Rian Johnson's sophmore feature, is finally here as well.  We dig our Rian Johnson at (Cult)ure, so we'll be checking this one out even if the critical reception has been less than warm. It's an one last heist movie, but it involves Rachel Weisz as a recluse that collects hobbies and the only good part of Babel, Rinko Kikuchi.

Because clichés are true, when it rains it pours: Moon, the trippy astronaut feature from David Bowie's son Duncan Jones and starring superb actor (and hottie) Sam Rockwell, opens tonight at the Bytowne. Rockwell's at the end of a three year stint on the moon, so naturally everything starts to go bananas

Not to be left out of absolute movie-binge this weekend is shaping up to be, the Mayfair's got Sam Raimi's delightful return to hor-com, Drag Me to Hell, and new cult canon entry Darkman back-to-back tonight.
