    But Owen Wilson (!) and Jennifer Aniston (!!) with Teddy Shapiro scoring it, that's a recipe to avoid my friend. You're brave smile

    I'll not be watching this! You wouldn't catch Mel watching this either.

    Was Mrs Southall that upset by watching such rubbish?


    If you're not touched by this movie then you're not a dog lover. slant

    I was devastated by the end of the film. As I will be when my dog's life ends. cry

  5. Something else entirely:

    Watchmen on blu-ray

    Two views of the regular cut and a now third one of the director's cut: I appreciate this film for its awesome visuals and audio and attempt to make something else than the usual Hollywood drivel. I didn't love this at first, because I don't know the graphic novel this is based on, but I still find it an interesting take on the superhero genre, this one being dark and gritty and with flawed heroes for once. Set in 1985 in an alternate reality, the movie tells the tale of a couple of have-been superheroes, and how they have to respond to a threat of worldwide nuclear destruction. Visually this movie is brilliant, the way director Zach Snyder makes every shot an artistic marvel to look at is the main attraction, and the brilliant audio is the finishing touch, from the superb sound effects mixing to the warm integration of many classic songs which never sounded better, this movie is a true experience for the home cinema nut. The sequence involving Dr. Manhattan's story and how he became to be is a highlight in how it is executed. It's not for everyone though, because the film feels very fragmented in its build-up and character development and its lack of focus is sometimes jarring. One that rewards repeated viewings that's for sure. I find the director's cut a tad more entertaining than the theatrical one. Though it has its faults I think I'll like this one better the more I watch it.

    Well, i was neutral. The score was very impersonal, did nothing to me but it's not his worst in any case. Still, compared to the outstanding source music, it paled violently.

    it's true, it could have been better, and the songs were very appropriate

    The Dr. Manhattan sequence was underscored by Philip Glass music right? It had that hypnotic feel about it.

    Oh screw the score, I listened to the excellent audio mix, which is the most enveloping kickass aural experience I've ever had the pleasure to listen to.

    Philip Glass, from the Koyaanisqatsi score, the 2nd track "Vessels" if i recall correctly. Find it and compare proper composition with meaningless soundscapes. The movie is mindblowing as well, although a bit depressing ("Koyaanisqatsi").

    It tired me on my first viewing too. It was a little too mumbo jumbo, know what I mean? But I guess this movie will come into its own on repeated viewings. Audiovisually it has enough of a kickass factor to keep me interested. And you know there's a nearly 3 hour and a half ultimate cut of Watchmen? I have enough with the DC which is already 3 hours long.

    Koyaanisqatsi, that must be it. smile

    well, that says enough
    at least Schnyder knows how to use proper music from time to time as well smile

  21. The Three Musketeers

    Was a while since I last saw this one, all in all okay if fairly standard, it's more tongue in cheek than serious. A sunday afternoon flick I call it. Kamen's music was good, but it seems half of it doesn't make the CD sad

    One of his best and most enjoyable! A very nice surprise indeed!
    And that's coming from a non-fan!

    (I prefer Lalo Schifrin's score for the follow-up The Four Musketeers, though. ALso VERY much worth the effort: same cast and director. In fact, it's really more like a part 2 of the same story thena different film (they were shot simultaneously too) )

    The Invisible Ray a neat little science fiction/thriller from Universal starring Karloff and Lugosi. The score was by Franz Waxman which is available as a suite on the Silva Bride of Frankenstein release.
