    I had the same reaction when I first started to watch it, couldn't care less. But then I started to get into to it and it just, I dunno, clicked. Alec Baldwin really is fantastic in this show.

    GREEN LANTERN

    A very uneven film that feels rushed, still, I must have been in the right mood because I rather enjoyed it, maybe it was because my expectations were so low after reading nothing but bad reviews? Anyway, I enjoyed this load of old hokum, daft as it was.

    James Newton Howard's score ( what I noticed of it ) was very underwhelming and generic with no stand-outs at all, there was the odd bit that pricked my ears but nothing that would make me rush out to buy the CD, a real shame as I had originally had high hopes when it was announced that JNH was to score it.

    There's a extended cut. I heard that improves the film.

    I noticed that Red Cliff was on TV last night and I wanted to watch it to hear the music in the movie.

    Didn't pay attention very well in the beginning but I saw some impressive images already. Then the kids went to bed to the second half I could watch it better. It's a movie I'd like to see again, there was some stunning cool stuff in there. Beautiful images.

    Oh, and the music is still awesome.

    That's gotta be it.

    Anyway, I was quite serious. It's the same reason Shrek sounds Scottish and Captain Haddock will sound Scottish.
    Because of the gruffness.
    Danish simply doesn't sound "tough" enough.

    Well, I stand corrected. wink

    The 2 and a half hour cut, or the full 5 hours? because that's the version (over two films) I have and recommend. There's just too much character development to put into one film, and while I haven't watched the shorter cut I'm sure it's severely lacking. Awesome in every respect, but you have to have a thing for John Woo's obsession with over-stylizing action and combat scenes. His best film since Face/Off. And the music does the trick, while not being very original.

    Wait a minute... did you think I was making up the bit about a Viking conquered section of the British Isles?

    Argh! No! I *know* they conquered part of the British isles (and France).

    I'm just pretty sure that that bit of historical accuracy was NOT what Dreamworks was aiming for when they decided on accent casting.

    I just found it funny that on the back of that discussion one of THE major archaeological finds on Vikings was made in Scotland, is all.

    I've decided to spend the next week or so watching Billy Wilder films. Tonight it will be Ace In The Hole (1951) He was such a good director.

    Really? Five hours?
    I saw the short version on TV then. Well, also five hours including the commercial breaks... wink

    Perhaps it's a good idea to watch the long version when I want to see it again, to have a better look, as I already said.

    By the way, in this short version I wonderered if there was an extended score out there because I heard a lot of music that is not on the album. Knowing now that the original movie is much longer I'm starting to think there must be an extended score album too??

    I love the score. One of my most played scores in recent years.
  23. About Red Cliff, from what I've heard over the course of two films, the first film's score is found on the album we can buy everywhere, but the music from the second film is apparantly only released for asian territories. I think it's this album.

    In all honesty I thought the music from the 2nd part wasn't as memorable as that of the first film. So IMHO the best material is found on the regular released album.

    THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE. Watched the 1946 version with Lana Turner and John Garfield. There is no OST of this one. As I said in the book thread the book is far superior.

    WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS, directed by Otto Preminger brought Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney together again in this noir thriller about a cop who takes matters into his own hand. Not as strong as Laura it is still a good thriller.

    I failed to comment that Alfred Newman's "Street Scene" theme was used as the main theme for the movie. It took place in New York and has that Gershwin feeling so it makes sense
