Berlin Review: Pernilla August's 'A Serious Game,' Written By Lone Scherfig

«Indiewire»

But the somewhat familiar tale of ruinous... Читать дальше...

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A judge on Friday sent the Texas teenager who used an "affluenza" defense in a fatal drunken-driving wreck to adult court, raising the possibility that he could get jail time for the 2013 crash that killed four people.
