Why does everyone think Winter's Bone is trying to be realistic? Before anything else, it's neo-noir. Were there real Sam Spades in L.A.? Did the Maltese Falcon actually exist? It's a fucking genre exercise, not a documentary.

I love it when people feel the need to let the rest of us know that they have absolutely nothing to say on a given topic. Lifts my spirits every time. Merry Christmas, everybody.

I've never understood it, but…

Did you just feel like you needed an "and" to make the sentence feel well-developed?
What is the difference between "winng, nuanced" characters and "well-developed" characters?

Are Sally Hawkins and Eddie Marsan.

Demons Are Back
in full force. See "Drag Me to Hell," "Paranormal Activity," "The Last Exorcism," "Devil," and the upcoming "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark."

I used to wonder about the function of Twitter, but now I know: it's so that we can all laugh at the stupid and ridiculous things that celebrities think.

This review is more than 24 hours old, so I'm speaking into the Abyss…
This movie hit me on a totally different level. It felt like an unintentional commentary about the three actors in it and their future potential. Keira Knightley has shown a certain amount of stamina, but she's still only 25. Will she still be…

I'm also from Portland.

It's Just the Normal Noises in Here

$100 million in profit? Yeah, that's chump change in my world.

Especially since you're saying what everyone said on the first page.

sigh…the ten thousand spoons are gone, but still, all I need is a KNIFE.
