M.O.T. New York Times Film Critic Reviews Recent Films of Jewish Interest

New York Times film critic A. O. Scott, revealing his status as a full-fledged M.O.T., has an interesting piece in yeterday's Arts section titled "Jewish History, Popcorn Included," in which he weaves together observations on recent films A Serious Man, Funny People, Inglourious Basterds, and recent books such as The Yiddish Policemen's Union and The Plot Against America.

We include it in our blog not because it is outright funny, but because it may produce some knowing smiles and grins among our readers who follow Jewish themes in popular culture.
