REPOSSESSION MAMBO

Interesting title...

I think his best scores are 3-10 To Yuma and Die Hard 4. The first one seems to be a ''serious'' attempt by Beltrami. The second, along with most of his other scores are just made up of totally enjoyable (but not necessarily meaningful) music.

I have Hellboy original, and Hellboy complete... the Underworld I have is just the original.

Die Hard 4 is a great sampler of Beltrami action music - I think he throws every action lick he's ever used in there somewhere.

Hellboy is unquestionably Beltrami's best score to date.

Me too.

As Dom said above, here comes the upcomingfilmscores.blospot.com link as well:

--------------

Continuing to provide the musical accompaniment to director John Moore's visuals, Marco Beltrami will compose the original score for Max Payne, the film version of the 2001 Rockstar video game which is being produced by 20th Century Fox.

In an age of lacklustre film projects for composers to sink they're chops ( If they REALLY do have them ) into, Beltrami is definitely one I have my eye ( ear ) on.

I like Flight of the Phoenix and 3:10 to Yuma. What other scores, Beltrami or not, do you also recommend based on those two examples?

Finally Chris, I listened back to these samples, and you're right. Hearing the score again changed my view a bit, they are more rhythmically as I remember them to be, typical Beltrami at work here. I raised my rating up a bit, considering I still don't listen to it often, nor will I do so.

But thanks for proving me wrong, and that doesn't happen a lot that I accept my loss that easily man

Indeed, you should shorten the album with a dozen tracks. But the examples you mentioned are typical Beltrami fury

Can´t wait for both movie and score. One of the best videogames ever, I hope they´ve done a really good job with the script and the tones of action. And Beltrami scoring it!

I hope this is the exception that confirms the rule.....I want to believe it.

The game may give hopes for something deeper. It's a noir movie meets John Woo, really. I mean the game at least - one of my favorites.

Maybe the nightmares?

Please someone tell me how to enjoy The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. I can't find anything to latch onto on there. The thing puts me to sleep.

And yet, I normally LOVE Beltrami especially his action style. All the major titles that have been mentioned already, they're tremendous fun. And to that I'd add Blade II, which often gets overlooked.

And I'll join the crowd saying that Hellboy is just one of the best things out there. As much as I like Elfman, I found myself so highly frustrated with the sequel's score and how unlike the original it was. I mean, I'm glad and all that Elfman stuck to his guns and didn't compromise his style by trying to emulate Beltrami, but still the question begs: why wasn't Beltrami simply hired instead? I think the frustration was made all the worse considering that one of Elfman's themes for the score actually begins with the same couple of notes as one of Beltrami's Hellboy theme, giving you hope that the score will go into familiar territory, but then frustrates you by segueing into something entirely different.

If there's a Hellboy 3, pleeeeease bring in Brian Tyler. He'll know how to merge the Beltrami and Elfman material into one cohesive blend. Just look at AVPR: it's such a seamless blend of Horner, Silvestri AND Tyler in one knock-your-socks-off package.
