This matters very little in terms of my thoughts on the film, but I do not much care for the way this film is being marketed. August: Osage County is a lot of things. It is a well-acted drama, with some comedic moments. It is based on an award-winning play by Tracy Letts. It involves […]

Ah, the year of two Snow White films, the other being Snow White and The Huntsman, this one being an actual light hearted attempt at the material.
