    There are so many older scores with amazing choir parts that I wish would get similar re-recordings so that I can actually listen to them and enjoy them without the poor original recording quality irritating me.


    Which scores exactly?

    NP: Blade Runner - Vangelis

    This is BSX's stunning re-recording! Great film music!

    NP: OBLIVION (M83)

    This score is really growing on me. INCEPTION/BATMAN BEGINS/TRON influence or not, when it shines, it really shines (God, how I love those epic synth snare drums!).


    It's awesome ! Play it loud !
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Nothing with the Rock In it is worth watching. The score to the 2nd isn't as bad as some of my colleagues believe here smile


    You're kidding, right? The Rock makes even the crappiest of movies at least a little bit watchable. Agree with your second point, though.


    Yeah, when you see this douche, the first thing that comes into your mind is 'great actor' wink beer


    Why is he a douche? confused


    Because he can't act.


    BTW, when you see this guy do you think great actor?

    Older Morricone scores...Mario Nascimbene scores, Bernstein scores...fortunately there's at least highlights of many of those scores that have been rerecorded on various compilations..

    EDIT: And Delerue scores, of course!
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    The thing I appreciate about the Rock is that he has charisma and doesn't take himself seriously. I'm OK with him not rushing to do a run of Hamlet between films.

    The Rock seems perfectly cast for the new PAIN & GAIN film -- one I look forward to immensely, btw. But obviously, he's no good actor. At least none that he has proved yet.
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: THE GREEN MILE - Thomas Newman

    I felt like listening to something melancholy. And this is about as hopelessly sad as it gets. Coffey On The Mile still riddles me with goosebumps. So so so draining.

    Yes. One of my Top 5 favorite Newman scores.

    I didn't like Boogie Nights, in both the Fighter and Three Kings, he was overshadowed by the far, far superior George Clooney and the excellent Christian Bale respectively. I am sorry but he never proved to be a very good actor; in most of his movies he has that retarded, emotionless look; when i think of him, the stupid 'where the fuck am i, what am i doing here' look in 'THE HAPPENING' comes to mind. As for the Rock, let's be serious: he might be a laugh out loud fun a la Chuck Norris for some (for me, not even close) or the older cheesy Arnold movies, but out of all the great actors out there, let's be frank: none of those can actually act well.

    I don't think anyone is even suggesting that The Rock is a great actor, personally he's not exactly my cuppa either but in the very few films I've seen him he's been entertaining.

    I haven't seen The Fighter but Boogie Nights ( a great film, loved it ) showed that Wahlberg does have acting chops and George Clooney, far from being a 'far, far superior' ( at what? Being charismatic? ), is anything but if you're talking about his very wooden acting ability.

    As for The Happening, well, that whole film was retarded and is best forgotten.

  13. Listening to Tyler's new Iron Man 3 theme, it's like a breath of fresh air in the superhero canon of recent "themes". I'm in agreement with Erik here: having a theme that actually goes somewhere, has an actual melodic line, it can be used in a variety of different ways in the score itself. It can be cut up, flipped, reversed in a variety of different ways (if that's what's required).

    Tyler's orchestration for the theme reminds me a lot of the NFL Film scores from the likes of David Robidoux: adrenaline-fuelled, propulsive and a strong hint of patriotism. Attributes which I think that Tyler would have wanted for Iron Man's theme?

    It's wonderful! I wonder if the original score is even available? It's been wanted by fans for so long now and I'm sure FSM or Intrada would have looked into this.

  17. STAR TREK TNG The Best of Both Worlds (1991) - Ron Jones.
    Surely one of the best scores of the entire series.

    This is one out of two double episodes that I would have loved to see as a cinematic feature, the other beeing Unification.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Indeed. Depending on your taste, I would say the tie for best scores of TNG goes to this ["The Best of Both Worlds"] and McCarthy's "Yesterday's Enterprise".

    There are some great cues throughout the series, but cue-for-cue in a single episode, I think these two reach above the others.

    First listen here. Very energetic and it's a lot more listenable than some of his other action scores. Very cool!

    NP: The Punisher - Carlo Silliotto

    This is not your typical comic book film score but my goodness is this good. I don't recall this doing anything for me when I first heard back in '04. I love the main theme, which sounds a bit like something from THE ROCK (and Brian Tyler's new IRON MAN theme). Some one on my Twitter feed described the score as "a mix of Rota, Morricone and Elfman" all rolled into one. I couldn't agree more. It's a deep, reflective, and intensely dramatic score. "The Massacre" cue is, IMO, the scores highlight. I'm really loving every moment of this underrated gem.

    Check it out if you can.

    I love the main theme from The Punisher too. It's not an in-your-face theme, more emotionally-charged if I recall correctly and says more about the character than their kick-ass attitude.

    I did a review of this score for www.musiconfilm.net back in 2004 which seems to have been lost to the transient nature of the interweb.
