‘The Report’ gets the facts right, not the feelings

‘Parasite’ burrows into the roots of class conflict

Scott Powell November 19, 2019

Movie plots are like cakes; they have layers. Unless, of course, the movie is Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite,” in which case it’s still a cake, but it's more like a funnel cake. The story isn’t a...

JoJo Rabbit succeeds at comedy, fails at satire

Scott Powell November 14, 2019

If Taika Waititi's "JoJo Rabbit" wasn’t supposed to be a satire, it would probably be a good movie. The film itself is a sheer delight– a funny, charming, absurd journey through the Third Reich with...
