Movies 101On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss three movies that focus on characters and how they interact, both positively and negatively, with the communities to which they belong—or, in some cases, merely encounter. They begin with “Magellan,” a film about the Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan. And they follow up with “The Plague” and “Peter Hujar’s Day.” -
Movie Reviews“The Plague” is a study of middle-school angst that relies on its similarity to William Golding’s novel “Lord of the Flies,” Dan Webster says. -
Movie Reviews“Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” is as strange and unwieldy as its title. Nathan Weinbender says the new time-travel satire from Gore Verbinski is equal parts inventive and undisciplined.
