This list has been long overdue, as I've published this favorite Pixar character list over a decade ago! Well, with the release of Inside Out 2, I thought I'd list my favorite Pixar movies since Toy Story in 1995, nearly 30 years ago. Pixar movies stand out because they appeal to both our emotions and …
One of the most buzz-worthy movies out of Venice and TIFF is Hit Man, the latest movie from Richard Linklater starring Glen Powell. Apparently, it's Powell who found the idea for the movie in a 2001 Texas Monthly article about fake assassin Gary Johnson, written by Skip Hollandsworth. He brought it to Linklater, and he ended …
