John Powers

We feature a conversation with Fresh Air film critic John Powers about this year's holiday movies. A series of new films are being released this season-- some of them featuring huge stars (like Tom Hanks in The Green Mile, and Jim Carrey in The Man on the Moon), some of them based on popular books (like Angela's Ashes, Snow Falling on Cedars, and Girl Interrupted.) John tells us about the hype, the movie trends, and his picks for the season's best films.
