Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, Parasite (Gisaengchung) by #BongJoonHo, "the story starts taking such stiletto-sharp twists that the viewer might get whiplash from the shock"

BEST MUSIC 1987: It’s not uncommon for a musical movie to end on a big dance number, and eighties musicals in particular were fond of using the concluding song to announce that the repressions of the past were no more (Footloose, for instance). What’s amazing about the year’s surprise sleeper hit DIRTY DANCING, however, is that the song they use for their big finale is a ballad and, considering that the movie takes place not long after Mrs. Maisel, isn’t the least bit accurate to the period; so why is it so damn good? "(I'VE HAD) THE TIME OF MY LIFE" was a runaway hit that still sounds good, an easy choice that year for Best Original Song, and it earned the Oscar for FRANKE PREVITE, JOHN DENICOLA and DONALD MARKOWITZ for what is still one of the most charming independent films to find a mainstream audience. Of course this means that a pop star wasn’t taking the stage in this category this year (unless you’re a big Franke and the Knockouts fan), but Original Score compensated for that as all three of CONG SU, composer and superstar RYUICHI SAKAMOTO and Talking Heads member DAVID BYRNE won for their musical score on that year’s Best Picture winner, THE LAST EMPEROR.
