NEBRASKA

Not quite the usual   "Road Trip" as Bruce Dern (looking very, very old) sets off to collect the Milliion Dollar prize he thinks he has won.   (You know, the "Publisher's Clearning House" type of letter we've all received at one time or another.   His son, seeing him walking along the road, heading to another state, agrees to drive him, since Dad is determined to get there.
  I found this film somewhat boring, and definitely sad.  I understand they used some actual local waitresses etc. to play themselves in the movie.  That's nice.  Otherwise, sorry folks, I didn't care very much for this film.

AUGUST; Osage County

Great actresses, Miserable, horrible experience!  I hated this movie.  It consisted of everyone yelling, screaming, swearing at each other.   This is not my idea of entertainment.  Awful, disgusting film.  Of course the critics raved about it.
