My Comment: I rarely talk about films in this blog but I am a movie junkie .... and I have seen all the films that are in contention for this year's best Oscar.

I looked at the film from a point of view that I know that it is not a documentary .... that this is a film geared for entertainment. But I also know that Hollywood does not see things this way .... and more to the point .... they are hostile to those who differ and/or contradict their political biases and agenda. 'Zero Dark Thirty' contradicts their message .... and in recognition of that expect zero Oscars for 'Zero Dark Thirty' next month.
