Co-producer Kathryn Dean shared how she hung out with the locals to gain their trust to use their property and learn their way of life. Also, they cast as many locals as they could to give the film an authentic feel.Reel Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264504894742024884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27714461.post-3759785158431686582010-08-04T12:11:29.075-07:002010-08-04T12:11:29.075-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Russ Thayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902116756127491210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27714461.post-63887437228630307272010-08-04T12:11:07.324-07:002010-08-04T12:11:07.324-07:00Jana, I liked "Cyrus" a lot.

I thought it was a story that could have turned into a very typical Hollywood slapstick mess, with the plain-joe nice guy looking like a fool over and over again until the wise-ass kid got his comeuppance, only it played out in a much more realistic way. John C. Reilly was great, and the film-makers also thought to include the timeless Marisa Tomei in order to please me.<br /><br />(Jonah Hill needs to lose some weight or he's going to become the next Hollywood tragedy.)Russ Thayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902116756127491210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27714461.post-27089615445396434962010-07-28T05:34:06.937-07:002010-07-28T05:34:06.937-07:00Jana, I agree "Winter's Bone" is amo...Jana, I agree "Winter's Bone" is among the best films I've seen this year. I go to the Chase Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis. Often it's like having a private screening.<br /><br />In addition to the portrait of courage, the aesthetics of the film strongly support the theme. The moody pale palette of blues makes the red touches toward the end pop. The spareness of sound and tolerance of silence beautifully sets off the haunting mountain music.<br /><br />Janet RiehlJanet Riehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969091105569421090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27714461.post-68454947252604520502010-07-26T11:33:06.484-07:002010-07-26T11:33:06.484-07:00Hi Jana,
