Their mission is simple: to clear the streets of IEDs to make the place safer for both military personnel and local civilians. This movie dives into the minds of the bomb technicians who risk their lives everytime they discover a potential threat, and explores how the constant risk affects a person’s psyche. At which point does one draw the line between selfless bravery and foolish bravado? ‘The Hurt Locker’ is a suspenseful and captivating tale inspired from real events by journalist and screenwriter Mark Boal, who was once attached with a special bomb unit in Iraq.

Year One

Harold Ramis aka Dr. Egon Spengler acts and directs in this biblical-age comedy, featuring Jack Black.

Somehow, Mel Brooks’ History of the World, part 1 springs to mind.

Running Time: 1 hr 40 mins
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Studio: Columbia Pictures
Director: Harold Ramis
Starring: Jack Black, Michael Cera, Oliver Platt, David Cross, Hank Azaria, Vinnie Jones, Olivia Wilde, Paul Rudd, Harold Ramis

Plot: Two lazy hunter-gatherers (Jack Black and Michael Cera) get kicked out of their village and they set out on an adventure exploring the ancient biblical world.
