    What's the basic difference between a 4.5 star score and a five star score?

    Sure it does. I'd say 5 is perfection... 4.5 is almost perfect.

    1 = Crap
    1.5 = Crap with some mediocrity
    2 = Mediocre
    2.5 = Mediocre with some good parts
    3 = Good
    3.5 = Good with some excellent parts
    4 = Excellent
    4.5 = Excellent with some classic parts
    5 = Classic, perfect, doesn't get better

    That's how it works in my mind at least, dunno about Southall.

    I use a highly-complex algorithm to work out star ratings which frankly few people are likely to understand.

    Btw, Southall, when will there be new reviews up on movie-wave?
    Looking forward reading your comments about Angels and Demons, T4, Something wicked this way comes... ;-)

    That's why you gave Horner's Troy 4.5 stars and gave Silvestri's Back To The Future 3 stars...

    Oh ssshhit! face-palm-mt Here we go again. You might want to search this message board and MMUK for "Southall + Back To The Future" and you will see why he ranks it so low.

    you have a top reviewer here, and they ask a top reviever of another site dizzy

    Hmm. That is a bit odd. Rating for BTTF looks a bit high to me - maybe the algorithm wasn't working.

    #1... The key to any review rating is to have some relationship with the person who is ranking them. While I consider "The Red Pony," "Victory at Sea," "King Kong (original)," and "The Best Years Of Our Lives" as great scores some of you would consider it a favor to listen to and spend 3 hours listening to them.

    Goldsmith
    Morricone
    Kamen
    R Newman
    Schifrin
    Young
    Debney
    Jones
    Preisner
    Wiseman
    Rabin
    Shearmur

    Most of them only very briefly though, and several years ago (back when I was interested in schmoozing, which I no longer am - though I wouldn't say no if John Williams rang up and asked if I wanted to go to Pizza Hut with him).

    WHY YOU DIDN'T REVIEW ANGELS AND DEMONS???
    • CommentAuthorTimmer
    • CommentTimeDec 9th 2009
    My guess is because there are far worthier soundtracks to review. Angels and Demons is pants!

    I think Jordi may have been a little disappointed you didn't review it as Zimmer's penultimate masterpiece, and Jordi's personal favourite since PotCLoaB *) and until Zimer's next score.

    His "penultimate" masterpiece? Odd choice of word.

    Yes, "penultimate". "Ultimate" until Zimmer gets his next one out, which -pretty much automatically- will make that score Jordi's uncontested favourite, relegating the former score to the penultimate masterpiece.

    Ees seemple, no?
