Winter's Bone.... I would like to say it's hyperbole, but..... John Hawkes was so good in this.

He was. Everyone was great - terrifyingly so. The chick who played the hooker in My Name is Earl was exceptionally scary.

Other than some gratuitous & totally un-neccessary nudie shots from Jake & Anne, that movie was just ok...a little snoozy in the middle.

I think it is.

I have no desire to see Love & other Drugs. Seems to fluffy/pointless to me. Seems like you concur, so I won't bother.

Having lived in a slew of small Texas towns as a child, I think the depiction of 'hillbilly justice' was fairly accurate.

My boyfriend says about halfway through the movie.. "Boo, I'm really glad we don't live there." Me too, babe - me too!

I know, right? Made me thankful for my life, that's for sure.
