Suicide Squad Composer Steven Price on Joker, Baby Driver

When you think of the life of a film composer, one doesn’t necessarily jump straight to an Oscar win.John Williamshad a bevy of TV credits before winning his first Oscar forFiddler on the Roof, and despite a whopping 13 nominations, the prolificThomas Newmanhas still yet to take home a gold statue of his own.

The Mission: Impossible Movies Need This Now More Than Ever

Mission: Impossible, a series following a covert agency dubbed the Impossible Mission Force, has encountered its own seemingly impossible mission: improving its villains. TheTom Cruise-led franchise peaked early on the antagonist front and has since seen a dearth of memorable, effective bad guys. That limitation has become the wildly imaginative series' most consistent impediment. One might argue that a conceit likeMission: Impossibledoesn’t necessitate good villains because that’s technically not what the story’s about; we’re here for thestunts and the silliness....

The Sparks Brothers Review: Edgar Wright Crafts a Joyous Love Letter to Sparks

Editor’s Note: This is a re-post of our review from the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. The Sparks Brothersis now playing in theaters. I am not a music person.
