It's too early to predict what will happen by the end of the year, but as it stands right now, The Hurt Locker is the best movie I've seen in 2009. I'm not alone; currently, Kathryn Bigelow's Iraq War drama has a staggering 97% approval on Rotten Tomatoes, trailing only Up among movies with 100 reviews or more.

You can read our review here and make sure you watch our interview with potential Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner. One thing about a movie like The Hurt Locker, though, is that it doesn't have the traditional release pattern where it's blasted into 3,000 theaters or more all at once. Currently, the film is only in 94 theaters nationwide, but it's about to get a major expansion this weekend.

We've been bugging Summit Entertainment for over a week to get us the complete list of July 24th openings, and this information isn't even on the film's official site yet. So, big thanks to Summit for working with us on a movie we really, really, really want you to see. Just so we won't leave anybody out, we're including the markets where the film is already playing, so you'll know where you can check it out tonight through Thursday, as well.
