You May Not Kiss the Bride

The Master (2012 film)

reviewed The Words (2012 film). September 10, 2012
posted in Movie Hype
'The Words' starring Bradley Cooper
Star Rating:         In the best possible sense, The Words may not be about what we think it’s about. It could very well be the story of a man who steals another man’s …
