    I do! The Last Mimzy.

    I'm not familiar with The Betrayal, but I think the others are all good (a couple bordering on excellent).

    Hummm... Shore's post LOTR output looks something like this...

    Doubt
    The Betrayal
    Eastern Promises
    The Last Mimzy
    The Departed
    A History of Violence
    The Aviator

    I don't see a weak score in that list... do you?

    Of course i see:

    The Last Mimzy
    Doubt
    The Betrayal

    and A History of Violence wasn't anything that big either.

    To tell you the truth, the music was kind of "hidden" well in the movie because except from the church choir singing I simply cannot recall much music from the film. Maybe it's just me, because I'm not a huge fan of Shore anyway (my 3 favourites being: Big, The Aviator and Nobody's Fool)

    Depends on one's standpoint. If you view some of those (with the exception of the magnificent EASTERN PROMISES, The Departed and the aviator) as the work of the man behind one of the most brilliant masterpieces of film music, which is the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, then yes, they're weak.

    If you view them as coming from a "x" film composer, they're average or nothing special but good nevertheless. But then again a "x" film composer wouldn't have composed something in the scale and quality of Lord of the Rings wink

    The older Perry Mason television series has a lot of interesting cues from Herrmann.

    It is so chaotic and big, it becomes funny

    Bingo. That line says it all. 1941 is a guilty pleasure. Just a big, stupid, dumb film that is really funny because it so ridiculously BIG and OVERTOP! Belishi is brilliant and the special effects are top notch! Classic use of miniatures! And WHAT a score! Williams in top form!

    -Erik-


    yes I'm pleasantly surprised how these effects and bombastic sets still look amazingly good today, it shows Spielberg remains a master no matter what

    Gonna show this to my father and brother, they will get a kick out of this for sure, especially the second part wink

    Taken (2008/2009)
    Ultra fast paced and enjoyable. And it's nice to see Liam Neeson in an action film like this. He lends it a lot of class smile
    It seems that Powell's Bourne scores have set the new standard/template for action/spy scores. This one follows the same formula.

    Cool movie indeed, it really suits Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace is indeed very hot, she is a lot older and yet she pulls of a 17 year old easily tongue

    Excellent movie, I was pleasantly surprised

    Frankly, THE LAST MIMZY sucks. wink But the rest are great! (And SOUL OF THE ULTIMATE NATION isn't bad either.)

    I disagree. You'd have to be completely disinterested in the story that film's trying to tell to call that anything but a very solid score.

    Brian de Palma's excellent film. I don't recall it even playing in any cinema near me, so this television screening was my first chance to see it. Coming out against the Iraq war is hardly a bold step, but the film - fictionalising events surrounding something that actually happened, the rape and murder of an Iraqi girl by US troops - is extremely powerful. There are obvious echoes with Casualties of War (a soldier refusing to take part in a violent rape) but De Palma constructs the film as if it's a series of Youtube videos; I was nervous about that, but he can't help injecting the film with his visual extravagance (there are a couple of stunning shots) so it doesn't irritate in the way that so many of these "fake home-movie" films do. Very good.

    (Oh, and this may be the first time a de Palma film hasn't featured an original score, but he still manages to squeeze in particularly striking uses of Handel and Puccini, and I saw a piece by Badalamenti credited at the end, though I don't recall it during the film.)

    Great! Now I will have to check it out.

    Saw last night...

    Time After Time (1979)

    I wanted to check out if I should get the score (FSM released it recently) so I saw this on Netflix. The movie is ok. H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) has to go after Jack the Ripper (David Warner), who has used his time machine to get to 1970s San Francisco. He's helped by the pretty bank assistant Mary Steenburgen. It's entertaining alright but I don't understand why Steenburgen talks as if she's on a drug-induced high. dizzy
    I think I will not get the Rozsa score for now. It's nice but not a must-buy for me.

    It's the seventies.
    She probably was.

    I agree on the score: it's entertaining enough, but nowhere near a Must-Buy.

    I debated with myself for a while as to whether to get the Time After Time album from FSM. I greatly enjoy the previous release of it; but when I realised I hadn't listened to it for at least five years, that pretty much made my decision for me.
    http://www.movie-wave.net | http://facebook.com/moviewave
  27. Rozsa is still close to an automatic buy for me, but of course since I knew the FSM release wouldn't sell out any time soon, I applied to pennies to more efficient outcomes.

    Like purchasing Memories of Me. shame
