The power of a single vote was on full display yesterday in Nashville, where actor and stuntman Bill “Bilbro” Yarbrough defeated his nearest rival by a single vote to win a seat on the guild’s national board of directors.
The voting there also shows the power of apathy, with only 213 (15%) of the Nashville local’s 1,422 eligible members casting ballots. Yarbrough defeated Bob Bailey, his nearest rival, by a vote of 78 to 77. A third candidate, Evans Donnell, received 56 votes.
Yarbrough is now the first candidate elected to the national board as part of the dissident faction led by Maya Gilbert-Dunbar, who’s running against incumbent president Fran Drescher. Peter Antico, Gilbert-Dunbar’s running mate, is squaring off against incumbent secretary-treasurer Joely Fisher.

Released mid-2010, Winter’s Bone was a deserved sleeper hit bolstered by extremely positive reviews and word of mouth. Set in the desolate, poverty stricken Ozark Mountains, USA, it tells the story of Ree (Jennifer Lawrence), a teenage girl searching for her ‘meth chef’ father after he jumps bail putting the family home at risk.
Rebecca Hofherr was costume designer for Winter’s Bone. Her brief shaped by director Debra Granik’s commitment to believability and an extremely tight budget of $5,500; she created a realistic, memorable look of lived in denim, motif fleece sweaters and padded check shirts. Hats, too, were essential, both as functional items and as a way of life for those in Ozarks. Moreover, Rebecca even initiated a ‘clothes swap’ with local residents in search of total authenticity.

“If you had a fleeting chance to escape a life of drudgery and poverty, of living hand-to-mouth in a closeknit rural community, would you take it?”
That’s exactly the thing with Winter’s Bone, an adaptation of Daniel Woodrell‘s 2006 novel of the same name.
The film was written and directed by Debra Granik, and stars lovely Jennifer Lawrence.
Winter’s Bone stars Lawrence as an Ozark teen named Ree Dolly, the sole guardian to her younger siblings, who is forced to search for her missing father in order to save her family’s home.
One of the people she goes to is Uncle Teardrop, played by John Hawkes, an intimidating relative who may have the answer to her father’s whereabouts.
“I think she was strong and stubborn and determined and she had a heart that was almost too big for her,” Lawrence said, describing her character, and...

This is the Pure Movies review of Winter's Bone, directed by Debra Granik and starring Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Kevin Breznahan, Dale Dickey, Garret Dillahunt, Shelley Waggener and Lauren Sweetser. Notable for scooping the Grand Jury Prize for best dramatic offering at this year's Sundance Film Festival, like previous winner Frozen River, Winter's Bone is a low-budget slice of American indie filmmaking that revolves around a desperately poor, rural community. Filmed in the Ozarks in Southern Missouri, it follows 17-year-old Ree (Jennifer Lawrence) in her attempts to hold her family together. Her father has jumped bail and disappeared. Her mother has suffered a nervous breakdown, leaving Ree alone to care for her younger siblings.

Written by: Debra Granik, Anne Rosellini, Daniel Woodrell (novel)
Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Kevin Breznahan, Dale Dickey, Garret Dillahunt, Shelley Waggener, Lauren Sweetser
Jessup Dolly has had a long history with meth amphetamines in the small community of the Ozark Mountains. The man's a cooker, and a good one; as such, he's cultivated a deep involvement with the criminal underground of his small impoverished town.
He's also disappeared while out on bond. His daughter, Ree Dolly, soon finds that her dad had used their ancestral home as collateral for bail. If she can't find her father, alive or dead, then the small family - which includes her two young siblings and her nearly catatonic mother - will be put out of their home and onto the street with barely a dollar to their names.
While Jessup was an addict and a criminal, Ree has kept herself clean.

Wow, we made it, and to think this is just the early round of Oscar consideration. By the time we hit the November time frame this list of 87 total films will most likely be whittled down to what I assume will be about 30 or so titles of actual contenders. The real question is just how many from this preliminary list will be left standing once we get to that point? 20? 15? Less?
No matter, this is all for fun anyway as well as taking a moment to introduce you to a few films you may not have known were coming out this year. After all, isn't it better to be "in the know" so you can impress your friends?
In today's fourth and final installment we have the final 13 individual films to make my preliminary list followed by the ten films I can currently see as Animated Feature Film contenders as...
