2Pz movie review

winter's bone:
this guy won first place at sundance a little while back. as you might could tell, i was drawn to its creepy backwoods rock-bottom-of-humanity subject matter. and in this aspect, it did not disappoint. the story's interesting enough: a girl on the search for her meth-cookin' daddy, thwarted by the secrets being protected within her slightly inbred ozarks community. the acting is impeccable, but the real appeal is the dialogue (including the threat "i already told you once with my mouth.") i really enjoyed this one, and give it about 9 biscuits!



i am love:
god damn, tilda swinton. how are you so ridiculously good? saw this'n last night, and gah. i really liked it. it's not perfect, but it is absolutely GORGEOUS. i am love tells the story of a russian-born italian housewife who's just had it up to here with the monotony of it all. and boy does she love food. i mean you can't even imagine how much she loves it. anyway, it's set in milan, mostly in this incredible mid-century mansion that is so weird and so awesome. the titles and credits are classic. the people are pretty, and the fashions are hot2trot, specially tilda's orange outfits. i could just look and look for hours. omg and the soundtrack! this one's too lush for dvd. see it in theaters or else. 10 beautiful biscuits!
