I'm very keen to hear what he comes up with over the next few years.

NP:Pearl Harbor ( a lot of guys)
A great mistake.
A lot of music ( i mean essential cues) from other composers, a lot of self rips from Gladiator and The Thin Red Line and a generic orchestrations in the generic action music.
"Tenesse" and "Then I kissed Him" are the only thing I can save from this score, they are a very beautiful themes (but they are improved in POTC3) -

NP Doctor Who (Murray Gold)
My first listen and already
Now this is good, varied, orchestral (electronically enhanced) music!
I double that after my complete first listen.
I love when they spend the money in such scores. I want more. Proceeding to Doctor Who - Series 3.
Gold is brilliant, catchy hummable melodies and great dramatic scoring, he's a Barry Gray for this Century!
But have you heard the music he's been producing for Torchwood? Not so good!The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Actually i could never, never understand such allegations against PEARL HARBOR. I absolutely love the score and its themes and i believe it's a tremendously underrated work 'cause of the stupid movie it accompanied.

As I related in another thread a couple of days ago, even Zimmer spoke very poorly of his own work for this film.
As for 'Tennessee', isn't that pretty much 20 bars-repeated of a theme from THE THIN RED LINE in less elegant arrangement?A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Agree; along with King Arthur, one of the most underrrated scores by Zimmer. The themes are beautiful and the action music, although generic if you want, contains great pieces like "Airborne", "Doolittle Training" or "Take Off". Among his best works? Well, we could debate it, but surely not as bad as we´ve been reading this years IMO. Too bad both movies were a pair of flops.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Well, Pearl Harbor didn't exactly get the best reviews, but you could hardly call it a flop? It did pretty well at the boxoffice, if I recall correctly... King Arthur, on the other hand, was a flop, and rightly so (pretty bland movie, though the score is great indeed).

You´re right, about Pearl Harbor I meant flop in an artistic point of view (I love some parts of it though, after all I´m a fan of Michael Bay), but as a boxoffice success there´s no discussion it did well.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

He often makes his scores sound like humble contributions (hey, they usually are!), but this was quite different in tone. I've not heard of a film composer on the record since Hugo Friedhofer dismiss their own work with such frankness as he did with PEARL HARBOR. (And unlike Friedhofer, Zimmer has a healthy amount of self esteem!) It kind of made sense that he doesn't think that well of it, because you only have to look at the scores either side of it (Gladiator before, Hannibal and BHD after) to see that it was a dip in quality for him. Mind you, he put it into context - he even said he hadn't wanted to do the film coming off GLADIATOR and MI2, and only did it at Bruckheimer's insistence.
I think it was Vance Brawley's old site that hosted the review, which sadly means it could be lost to time. (There were some great interviews on Vance's old site, though the Zimmer interview was one of the last.)A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Heard this score in the film and was amazed. The film is pretty good too, the chemistry between Pepper and the young Inuit girl is just very good. Great photography too, not overusing the vistas, but also showing the beauty of the terrain. And it was made with great heart. That's fresh today.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

I live near the beach (not far from where Rodney Fox had his famous shark attack).
We are often told to stay out of the water by coast guards due to incoming sharks.
So right now I'm in Jaws mode!

Not actually from the beach.
Back in 2001 there was a dead whale floating off shore near Kangaroo Island that attracted a multitude of great white sharks, not to mention the media and a BBC film crew.
I joined my friends on their boat to go out and get some shots on camera.
There were plenty of sharks. Mostly betwwn 8 - 14feet long.
After a while we decided to move out from all the other boats surrounding the dead whale and just left the boat ideling in the water while we had a bite to eat. Suddenly we felt a heavy "thump" against the boat. My friend's wife went pale and pointed to the back of the boat.
There it was, a massive great white arround 18-19 feet in length having a nosey at the boat!
I grabbed my camera and took a couple of photos. I could've patted its nose! Then it went away.
I then got out the video camera and filmed the crew talking about the experience when right behind them it came. I got it on tape too! This time it just kept hanging arround bumping us. Or swimming under us.
Soon all the other boats left the whale to see this big shark near us.
It hang arround for a while, even had a go out somebody's outboard motor.
Then it just went under and left.
Was it scarey? No! It was an amazing experience!
So when the time came to edit the video I couldn't resist but to put the Jaws score behind it.
So now most of my Speilberg type childhood dreams have come true.
I've seen a Great White up close. I've seen UFOs. Now I just need to find the Ark Of The Covanant!

NP:Xmen- 3 (powell)
Why I don't feel the same magic with this score like I feel with lair or Cuthroat Island?
Maybe it's because I know too much Powell's sound? maybe because the movie doesn't have any climax?
Anyway...A 4 and half stars score!
( I can't understand why Powell doesn't perform Phoenix theme in the concerts, is the best thing from this score! ) -
