The controversialJohn Kricfalusi, who both caused and experienced trauma that deeply affected his work and relationships, is as much a part ofRen & Stimpy’s overnight success as its sudden and disastrous decline....

From directorReginald Hudlinand based on a true story, the inspirational dramaSafetyfollows Ray McElrathbey (Jay Reeves), a Clemson University football safety who finds himself in the unexpected position of having to raise his 11-year-old brother Fahmarr (Thaddeus J.

The result is a score that wholly embraces the wish fulfillment at the center of the film’s story—it’s uplifting, wondrous, and personally reminded me ofJohn Williams’ stellar work onHook....
