I used an exclamat...Ballast is on Watch Instantly!<br /><br />I used an exclamation point there, but really, that's just because of the coincidence. I am not excited by this news, nor should you be.Scaggsawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609643347079663232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124832616535455374.post-45616194168925329202010-08-10T12:35:47.244-07:002010-08-10T12:35:47.244-07:00Frozen River is much better than Ballast, but Ball...Frozen River is much better than Ballast, but Ballast is obvious more realistic, as far as hat can go. They both aren't close to Winter's Bone though, and I don't get why.Scaggsawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609643347079663232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124832616535455374.post-20931506097869115322010-08-06T10:12:00.311-07:002010-08-06T10:12:00.311-07:00I actually haven't seen any of those movies!

Those have very good performances too and you don't expect anything to get miraculously better for anyone involved and yet those seem content with being "realistic" portrayals of poverty while Winter's Bone feels like that plus a movie.<br /><br />I did just watch The Wild and Wonderful Whites Of West Virginia though, and suddenly Winter's Bone's "reality" seems like it needs those quotes. There's just no way to actually capture that, I guess.Scaggsawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609643347079663232noreply@blogger.com
