Three films to see, one is a MUST!

Winter's Bone must not be missed. It's intense, funny and creepy with a rare authenticity to it. There are two exceptional acting performances that stand out even in this movie with such a special cast, Jennifer Lawrence, a tough teenager, and John Hawkes, her bizarre uncle. Also out there now are Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work and City Island, which both have a lot going for them. I've been a Joan Rivers fan for a long time. This movie confirms her talent, humor and grit. City Island is a good solid movie and even though it's a bit sappy, it deserves to be seen anyway because it's a movie with a big heart.
