WINTER'S BONE - Sundance Movie Review

WINTER'S BONE is the third movie from director Debra Granik and stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Bill Engvall Show), John Hawkes, Dale Dickey, and Garret Dillahunt.

WINTER'S BONE Movie Photos with Jennifer Lawrence

Check out photos for WINTER'S BONE which stars Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Dale Dickey, Garret Dillahunt, Kevin Breznahan, and is directed by Debra Granik.
I pretty much only know Jennifer Lawrence from 'The Bill Engvall Show,' but I have been meaning to see other films that she has done. It looks like this is another dramatic one.
And as a side note, doesn't it seem that we see Garret Dillahunt everywhere? Not that I'm complaining, because I think he is very talented, but everywhere I look there he is. He should get some kind of award for that (and so should J.K. Simmons for that matter). But funny enough, he is a name that actually gets me to watch a show or go see a movie, so I can't wait to see him in Winter's Bone.
