"winter's bone" was really cool. cooler than i thought itd be admittedly.

just watched "mesrine: killer instinct", the first of three films with vincent cassel playing jacques mesrine, internationally famous criminal. fucking awesome. some people have compared it to "scarface" but i dont see that at all, other than the protagonist being a violent sociopath scumbag. vincent is just amazing in this role, in every scene. the style is fairly michael mann-ish, less excess maybe. anyways, cassel is easily one of the best actors working. he is so good at making the character likeable without making him sympathetic. i cant wait to see the next two parts.
