    Sgt. Sarver wrote in a declaration: 'Defendants have essentially placed a bulls-eye on the back of my army uniform/bomb suit for my current and future deployments.' Sgt. Sarver signed his declaration in an undisclosed location in Afghanistan, where he is currently deployed. He claims he never gave screenwriter Mark Boal permission to use personal details in a story he did for a Playboy magazine article titled 'The Man in the Bomb Suit,' and that their inclusion in the story and 'The Hurt Locker' have hurt his reputation. Mr Boal was embedded with Sgt. Sarver's unit in 2004. Sgt. Sarver claims...

    Sigourney Weaver has launched a blistering attack on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, saying James Cameron didn't win the Oscar for Best Director because he "didn't have breasts." Outspoken "Avatar" star Weaver said she believed Cameron -- who lost out to his ex-wife, "The Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow -- didn't win because the academy wanted to make history by naming its first ever female Best Director. "Jim didn't have breasts, and I think that was the reason," Weaver told Brazilian news site Folha Online over the weekend. "He should have taken home that Oscar In a...

    It was an Oscar shocker as Karthryn Bigelow won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Director over James Cameron, and the military film she directed, The Hurt Locker, won the Academy Award for Best Picture instead of Avatar. Not only is this the first time that a woman has won the academy award for Best Director, but this woman beat James Cameron - the man whose last two films, Avatar and Titanic, have grossed more money than any other two films in history. And to top it all off, Kathryn Bigelow happens to be James Cameron's ex-wife ...

    There have been a couple of constants where Iraq War cinematography is concerned. One, movie makers ignore the public appetite for movies supporting the anti-terror war message in favor of drab, depressing, preachy antiwar politicking featuring marquee names and little else. Two, those movies, which predictably bomb at the box office, are the rage of the film critics who levitate in ecstasy at the opportunity to praise that which trashes Bush, the war on terror (set ital) and (end ital) the military all at once. So how to explain "The Hurt Locker" and the critical rapture that surrounds it? Here's...
