Went to the movies tonight, the first time since moving. Saw Winter's Bone, at the Los Feliz cinema. Both film and venue, were fantastic. Surprised the ticket only cost $9.50. Snacks and treats were bargains, too. Hooray LA!
About the film:
1- color palette was almost completely washed out, which fit
2- lead (who was quite good) suggested a young Renee Zellweger
3- in film, southerners are almost always portrayed as dumb, curiously odd, suspicious, rebellious, unkempt, uneducated hayseeds. With good reason...
4- actor who plays Kenny Powers brother in "East Bound and Down" (John Hawkes) has skills
5- the story was inventive, unpredictable and compelling
Differences between movie-going in LA vs Boston:
1- Room was dead silent throughout the entire film
2- Lights stayed down until the credits ended
3- No one left tuntil credits were over
During the walk home, all I could think was "I wish Tim lived out here. We need to be writing, and making films."
