Parasite
The winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture is the Parasite DVD. This South Korean blockbuster is a masterpiece indeed. After its world premiere in 2019 Cannes Film Festival, this movie continues to grab attention the world over. This is directed by filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, who is also behind “The Host” and “Snowpiercer.” The fact that this movie gains nominations and accolades left and right is enough to rouse the curiosity of people who are not familiar with K-pop, Korean dramas, and Korean movies.

struggle to make ends meet even with temporary jobs. Their luck changes when a
friend of Ki-woo, the son of the Kim household, tells him to take on the job of
tutoring the teenage daughter of the wealthy Park family. Ki-woo’s success in

seems to be a chance to taste a life of luxury goes awry when the plan
unexpectedly fails.
Suzi Q

Suzi Quatro, her roots, and how she rose to stardom in the world of rock n’
roll. The first female bass player to become a rock star, Suzi Q serves as an
inspiration to other women out there who are treading the path of disciplines
which are usually male-dominated.
Knives Out
If you love Agatha Christie and her mystery stories (and any intriguing and mind boggling mystery stories for that matter), we highly recommend “Knives Out.” This movie stars an amazing cast, including Christopher Plummber, Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Ana De Armas, Michael Shannon, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell, and LaKieth Stanfield.

the case. Every family member and every staff are suspects. Each person holds
secrets, lies, and self-serving motivations, and it is up to Detective Blanc to
uncover the identity of the criminal.
