Here is what we wrote months ago: Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" is the best picture of the year and the best film made about the Iraq War. I am very proud to have played a small role in writing about and elevating this picture, which should become a classic, a movie for the ages to be revisited, reexamined, and reenjoyed in the future.
