I'm pretty sure there's LOADS of Indians who think Rahman is the dog's bollocks and who have never even heard of Zimmer... and with a population of over 1 billion people in India now, the odds that Rahman is by sheer numbers by FAR the more popular and acclaimed film composer isn't all that far fetched...

Slumdog Millionare
I'm the only one who doesn't like this movie???? It irritated me. (Not so much as Southall reviews from Horner and Newman scores )
Armaggedon
Wow..Much better. One of the best action movies Ever!

Rahman did a lot of stuff, he's not like he's the new kid on the block with a promising career we should all support and not criticize. All i've heard sounds bad to my ears and the biggest disappointment was Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
For what it's worth, Rahman's contribution to The Golden Age score is hardly 12 minutes (The Divinity Theme, Mary's Beheading and Battle). He wrote more music which was left unused.
Aside from Slumdog and Elizabeth, there's Warriors of Heaven and Earth which is his only other non-Indian score work. The rest of his body of work comprises of song & score for Indian films. There are hardly any score releases in India so only way you get to hear the score is by watching the film. -

Like I said when I went and watched the film I had to cover my ears twice because the music was so loud. It was a good film just not a great one and certainly not the best from Hollywood last year at least in my opinion.
Thomaslisten to more classical music! -

Been watching much television lately.
John Adams
This finally completed its run over here. What a show - seriously compelling. Great performance from Paul Giamatti. Even though it was very long, some parts STILL felt rushed. The man had a fascinating life. I'm amazed there haven't been more high-quality productions about the foundations of the USA.
Billy Connolly's Journey to the Edge of the World
Very promising first episode of his tour around the Arctic Circle. It's obviously mimicking the great Michael Palin travelogues, but doing it rather well I have to say. I can't remember the last time I watched anything on ITV (apart from football) which wasn't utterly dire. In fact, I don't know if ITV has shown anything during my lifetime (apart from football) which wasn't utterly dire, so well done to them for finally managing it.
Damages
Hooray! Second season has begun. Anyone who likes 24 and the like would do well to watch this. It's more serious, but just as gripping. I wonder if, like that show, the loss of novelty value in the second and subsequent seasons will rob it of some of its impact, but it's still very good, and looks very handsome indeed.
Heroes
Well, "Volume Four" has begun over here, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes. Much better than the previous two volumes.
Mad Men
Again, just starting its second season. Absolutely fantastic. It just looks so good. -

Not "loved" as such, but it was the finest tv music I heard in an American show from 2008, by a distance. I don't have the album - but will certainly be getting it. -

I actually noticed the music more in the Rob Lane-scored episodes. Not that that's any indication of its quality; just saying. -

That wasn't great, that's for sure. Such a shame that the film had to receive a Zimmer-type style-over-substance approach - and they removed the style!
Rahman hardly had anything to do with the score. 3 tracks. The majority of the blame falls on a very likely suspect for me - Craig Armstrong (w/ Shekar Kapur as the villain behind it all).A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

I usually like Connolly's take on these travelogues and this series certainly has a lot of promise (as you say, James). But his constant exclamations of "extraordinary" and "lovely" did get tiresome. I can imagine drinking games popping up in uni student unions over the subject. BTW, wasn't the scenery in parts extraordinarily lovely?

I only watched the episode on BBC2 but I was thoroughly confused. I think that I managed to hang in until next time...but I can feel myself losing interest.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 -

Yes, it was. And that's the main reason for watching, I guess. I know what you're saying about him, but I enjoyed the way he was able to engage the quirky people he met. -

By the way, I enjoy Elizabeth The Golden Age score as well, which I consider an Armstrong score anyway. -

Wonderful scores.
I did like the Golden Age score a lot more than I thought, though the film proper was a bit of a letdown after the exquisite Elizabeth, which was dramatically and psychologically a LOT stronger I thought!'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

Miss Austen Regrets (Olivia Williams, Imogen Poots, Greta Scacchi)
BBC production from 2008 about Jane Austen. I heard some of the score on SST and had to see this one. Just beautiful! It deals with the last decade or so of Austen's life when she's writing Emma. The opening scene is great-- things happen very fast with a gorgeous main theme by Jennie Muskett. Imogen Poots is lovely too!

Faye Dunaway and Brenda Vaccaro are a fun double act and Jerry's score is surely the best

Damn I haven't seen this one since I was a kid... I doubt it'll produce the same fun as it did back in the day. I still remember my dad saying to me when we watched it: "what the hell is Peter O' Toole doing in crap like this?" That remark sure made an impact... Oh well, if only for nostalgia I'd watch it again, and of course to hear that wonderful music."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Last night I watched "Monolith Monsters," an interesting idea of rocks that came from outer space and would multiply and grow when exposed to water. It was a 'B' film all the way but had its moments especially the music.listen to more classical music!
