    A Cure For Wellness - Benjamin Wallfisch

    Not a great score by any means but it's growing on me. The waltz/lullaby main theme is a nice contrast with some of the darker material. 'Fueurwalzer' is definitely a highlight.


    He has done so much better before.

    It's Only the End of the World - Gabriel Yared

    Nothing particularly distinguished for this most recent Xavier Dolan film. This is very familiar ground for Yared, with slowly churning melodic fragments being pushed ahead of one another, occasionally resolving into something interesting or soaring to hit a cathartic high. Two late cues, 'Louis et Antoine' and 'Avant l'orage' are the pick of them. Mildly diverting but nowhere near the standard of his brilliant Tom on the Farm for Dolan.


    String-led?

    MICHAEL GIACCHINO - doctor strange

    Saw the magnificent movie last night and i sincerely think it's the best marvel gig to date so far. Amazing directing, tight plot, very interesting and active characters for a change (no crappy snoozy borefests a la black widow and other useless characters like that Hawkeye dude etc) and the vfx/gfx are sooo well done and breathtakingly amazing. I sat through the whole credits just to read who did what and it was one of the hugest crowds i've ever seen on a credits roll! Glad i did sit through though 'cause as always with marvel, bonus thingies lie in the end credits sequence wink And the score is old-fashioned major orchestral kick-ass with balls. Gorgeous writing by Giacchino and the brass sound too was amazing.

    Ugh. Yared's score is OK-ish, but I severely disliked that film. It's everything that I find aggravating about certain forms of French-language cinema (lots of loud, intense screaming, non-stop dialogue etc.). My colleagues are HUGE fans of Dolan, but for my own part, the only film of his that I've truly liked is LAURENCE ANYWAYS. Oh, and his brief actor cameo in MARTYRS.

    But something like LAURENCE tells me that there is great potential in this guy, so I'm waiting for the next film to wow me the way that did.

    NP: VICEROY'S HOUSE (A.R. Rahman)

    It's OK so far. Nothing that will break my top 10 Rahman, but firmly molded in the 'crossover' style that can be very appealing (like Newman's brilliant HE NAMED ME MALALA and to a slightly lesser extent THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL).

    The Mission - Ennio Morricone

    I'm not the biggest fan of Ennio, and I have very few scores by the man but I reckon I had to at least have this one as it is so highly regarded. It's very good, but also very Ennio, in a way that the man has a certain style that doesn't always speak to me, but when he unleashes the lovely Gabriel's Oboe or those sweet angelic voices, all is well in the universe.


    I just added it to my collection this weekend :-) I heard it live a month ago. Goosebumps all over. It was even a suite without the famouse oboe solo!

  9. NP: Jurassic Park (1993) - bow John Williams

    It doesn't indeed. Williams at the magnificent top of his game. There are few moments of music as imminently uplifting as that main theme. And the action music is a benchmark.
    I'm playing the original album.

    To be fair I love how the album starts, but not how it ends. Would've preferred it the other way around.

    Quite right, but I make a clear distinction in either totally brilliant or mostly brilliant. JP is the latter.

    Empire Strikes Back is the former

    Hook is the former

    Etc.

    This is not fact, but opinion. tongue

    Same here. It's a wonderful score but easily topped by RAIDERS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, E.T., STAR WARS and even its sequel THE LOST WORLD.

    It's #8 on my Williams list. Those themes are absolutely fantastic, but some of the rest of it drags it below some of his other works for me.

    NP - "Final Round" from REAL STEEL - Danny Elfman

    Part of me acknowledges how cheesy this is every time I listen to it, but part of me finds this music totally uplifting and inspiring. I am conflicted. I guess that makes it a guilty pleasure, eh?

    NP: MUNICH (John Williams)

    A lot of this is Williams in Shore/Cronenberg mode (dark, droning textures), but I love the ethnic bits. A spectacular film too.

  21. NP: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands - Alain Johannes

    Liking the growling electric guitar that features on this album. The tribal feel of "Night Encounters" is very catchy.

  22. NP: Power Rangers - Brian Tyler

    Very much a by-the-numbers score this one; it all sounds fine but there's just no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians.

    Good score that I rarely play. The film is one of Spielberg's very best. A superb film.

    An unusual game score this one. Duduk, ehru, a cello quartet, trombone, a tuba, timpani and percussion feature and create quite an interesting sound.

    Pawn Sacrifice - James Newton Howard

    Very short score that doesn't create too much of an impression until the magnificent, stirring 5 minute final cue 'Bobby Wins' which is in a class of its own.

    Agree, too much filler esp. in the later half of the album, kinda spoils the overall experience.
