” You should be polite as long as possible and, when you can’t be polite any more, don’t run.”–Daniel Woodrell, Ozark “noir” novelist.
This one is so good it may make it to the header. I have not been feeling polite lately.

Haven't read the novel yet, but the film version of "Winter's Bone" makes nearly every CGI-dependent, audience-previewed flick out there look like The Monkees must have in 1966, when forced to hazard a scorched-earth stage behind a little opening act nobody had (yet) heard of called The Jimi Hendrix Experience…
It's a DAMN good flick. I have read other Woodrell, and will definitely read more.

Woodrell is a favorite. His "Woe to Live On" (aka "Ride With the Devil") is a short, brutal, beautiful take on the guerrilla war in Missouri during the Civil War. Ang Lee's film adaptation "Ride With the Devil" is also excellent and deserved a much wider audience. It's received Criterion Collection treatment.
