This fun, family-friendly underwater adventure has become one of the true titans of Pixar's repertoire. It is cast to perfection, visually beautiful, and full of whimsical characters. This movie possesses so many delicate moments that capture the importance of family, the pain of loss, and the unreal lengths of determination that humans (or, in thi...
Ron Howard's biographical film about the famous heavyweight champion of the world, James J. Braddock, is as brutal as it is beautiful. His second collaboration with Russell Crowe — following another biopic, A Beautiful Mind— is a modern parable of the American Dream. We are drawn into the dark and dreary era of The Great Depression, and we fight wi...
This 2004 adventure of childhood anxiety, steam-punk dystopia, and all-around moroseness is a staple for pretty much anyone between the ages of 15 and 30. Jim Carrey gives one of his most unforgettable and versatile performances as the iconic villain/horrendous actor, Count Olaf. This time, in comparison to his other works, Newman focuses more on m...

His masterful creation of foreboding and drama, from the get-go, is captured in the film's iconic opening sequence, "Stoic Theme." The title itself is immaculate in describing what the film repre...
Another charming adventure by Pixar, WALL-E tells the story of a lonely robot, looking for love in a trash-filled post-apocalyptic world. Newman blends the film's marriage of vintage nostalgia and futurism through his instrumentation, combining soft harp motifs with big epic drums and synths. His choices of minor strings, percussion, and woodwind e...
This is one of Tom Hanks's many classic performances, but he is often, for lack of a better word, the "goodie" of the films he stars in: for example, the well-meaning Forrest Gump (Forrest Gump), the righteous Woody the Cowboy (Toy Story), and the determined, unyielding survivor, Chuck Noland (Cast Away). However, Road to Perditioncasts Hanks in a ...
This third installment in Daniel Craig's incredible run as the iconic James Bond saw the stakes continue to rise, the villains get increasingly menacing, and things get increasingly personal. We are given the classic, elaborate chase and combat scenes that are quintessential to a Bond film, but we are also given more of his background, even traveli...
Tate Taylor's period comedy-drama investigates the nuances, challenges, and importance of the Civil Rights Movement and the many forms that racism can take, with special attention to Black women in domestic service, often referred to as "the help." Featuring a ridiculously strong cast, with the likes of Viola Davis, Emma Stone, and Octavia Spencer,...
