Congratulations! You've managed to land on the one Oscars postmortem you'll read today whose author won't detail the experience of watching Will Smith slap Chris Rock on live television! I didn't see it!

While there's considerable mystery in The Outfit's plotting, there's even more in its central character, and Mark Rylance's artistry makes Graham Moore's directorial debut the rare gangster saga that makes you grin wider and wider the scarier and nastier it gets.

An Audience Award winner at Washington D.C.'s 2021 Environmental Film Festival and the recipient of the Best International Feature prize at the Planet in Focus International Environmental Film Festival, the climate-change documentary Inhabitants: An Indigenous Perspective enjoys a March 20 screening at Davenport's Figge Art Museum, serving as the latest informative and entertaining presentation in River Action's QC Environmental Film Series.

If you're wondering whether the combination of long, dark, and aggressively serious applied to material we're all wa-a-ay too familiar with results in a boring movie, I'm happy to report that writer/director Matt Reeves' The Batman isn't boring. Quite the opposite: It's exhilarating – an unexpectedly scary and resonant work that doesn't invite comparisons to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy so much as David Fincher's Zodiac and Seven.
