    Do not know. I think Gosford Park's the only one of his I've seen. If his movies led to classic film scores on a more regular basis I might check him out more often.


    Gosford Park is great.

    Seriously though, check Altman out. Some of the great films have come from him, and while they don't use music in the classic ways we're familiar with, but those techniques we respond to don't work for every film. (Indeed, some of his films have classic music - Nashville comes to mind.)

    The first Saw was good as far as I recall. I tried to watch the other Saws but thought they all stunk, and I got tired of that bloody music every time the stupid twist was revealed.

    Saw is one of the crappiest, most ridiculous franchises ever, in all aspects. One of those films whose success make me lose faith in humanity even more wink

    How many SAW films have been made now? Is it about 50-60?

  6. David's Dollars Trilogy education is complete - he watched For A Few Dollars More this morning.

    The only problem now is that he was looking for western novels in the library this morning. Being guided by the front covers I think he's going to be interested in the pulp western novels. I think that he'll have to be steered away from these for a few years: it's not a genre of novel that I know much about but, going by the covers, they could be a bit too old for him just yet!

    Don't be silly, nothing like that. There has only been 35 Saw movies so far. They're currently working on the 36th.

    Saw Inception on Imax last night. Fantastic piece of entertainment. Remember how people were blown away when Matrix first came out on the screens? This one takes that feeling ten times fold. Wow!

    The score sounded good too! It had more things happening than the Batman kind of brooding minimalism.

    In the Electric Mist

    Excellent film, beautifully-judged acting, great score.

    The Damned United

    Loved this too but I think it diverges from the truth quite often.

    Trekkies

    I found this genuinely frightening. Were Justin Boggan in it, he'd be the most normal person in it.

    The A-Team

    I actually enjoyed this one ...
    The movie's 2 hour running time flew by just like that !
    That's gotta mean something ? wink

    The A-Team is a brainless , fun action film , don't expect anything more or less ...
    If you want plot ---> move along ---> move along ... biggrin

    Now Watching Blade Runner while I listen Zimmer's Inception cool
  14. Just got back from Inception. A brilliant idea, for sure. After all the hype, and after reading some reviews, I was expecting a twist that would make me want to watch the film again looking for different things. There is no such twist, but that hardly makes a good film less watchable.

  18. Erik, [spoiler]I don't think that's much of a twist at all. It is very purposefully left to our imagination to determine whether what we're seeing is real or not. Either way, it doesn't change much about the rest of the movie. I don't think you'll be able to go back through the rest of the film and look at anything differently because of that. That last frame was just a "what if?" frame that was designed to get a cheap gasp from the audience right at the end.[/spoiler] I think. Correct if I'm wrong. If you noticed something or have an idea that I'm missing I'd love to hear it. I WANT to have a reason to watch it again looking for something more.

    [spoiler]Actually, if i can recall... the answer to whether Cobb is in a dream or not is pretty obvious. All you have to do is look at his kids. They don't age? They are wearing the same clothes as they do in his visions? His memory of them is the same as they look at the end of the film. So, since I know that Cobb is in a dream right from the beginning I want to see if I can pick out any thing else that would point to that conclusion.[/spoiler]

    The Party
    Peter Sellers as Hrundi V Bakshi! This was a first time watching this film and it is now my fave Sellers movie. Utterly enjoyable! Birdie num num.

    [spoiler]But is there any indication during the film that significant time has passed since his wife's death? I can't remember them talking about how long she'd been gone or anything. Which is smart if they don't wan the audience to know if that last scene is real or not. If it's been less than a year, those kids could still look the same. That little wobble in the top right before the screen blacked out is what makes me consider that he wasn't in a dream. It's certainly still possible that he is, though, even if it didn't mention how long ago his wife died. If it is a dream, do you think the whole film was a creation of his mind, or do you think that he's still in that limbo place?[/spoiler]

    I love the first part of the movie, which is hilarious and has that clumsy Inspector Closeau-like humour that Peter Sellers was so great at. The end, where the party goes nuts has none of the humour that made the first part of the movie great. So I can't call it a favourite of mine, but it's pretty funny.

    I find The Party more of a curio, an entertaining and very watchable film that's very much of it's time.

    It worked in the film but got a bit over bearing in places. The music throughout most of the finale was almost as loud as the sound effects.

    On CD it's nothing special, just the usual Zimmer stuff.

    I haven't seen the movie yet but it's no regular Zimmer score on CD; listen to it good.

  28. Inception

    Mindblowing shocked , even though it will probably take me about 10 times to fully understand everything about this movie, you still get the feeling you understand most of it right away. The second part of the movie is a total rollercoaster ride and offers again stylish thoughtful science fiction thrills. I especially liked Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character, his fight sequence during the dream is visually awesome

    as for the score, I really liked it, especially the part when I'm hearing the teaser music returning which I'm so fond of. Brilliant movie, I'm waiting the arrival of my CD to listen to the score separated from the visuals

    Nolan, you're already now one of the greats in my book smile

    10 out of 10
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
