Favorite score review?

  1. What, in your opinion, is your favorite review of a film score, and why?

    I finally read Christian Clemmensen's review of Avatar a few days ago, and I was amazed at the level of detail he went into explaining why the score worked so well, even going into a track-by-track analysis of the individual themes. He's done the same for other Horner scores and even a few of Williams' works. I'm still not a huge fan of his site (he is WAY too harsh on Thomas Newman), but I can at least appreciate how well-written and deliberate his reviews are.

    This is not something I've ever really considered?

    I'd better say ALL the people who review on this site otherwise I might get hurt. wink

    What many of you do know is that this reviewing has been wonderful for brain therapy from the stroke. I've talked to survivor groups about this very topic.

    you're not hurting anyone Tim, I know I don't come close to even the ankles of a Christian Clemmensen, but I'm happy I can at least offer a reading something you don't find anywhere.

    Faults, grammatical errors, bad writing and an occasional sharp writing style

    Hey, at least it's different smile

    By far the people on Amazon who rate things one star because it doesn't contain any songs.

    My favorite review will always be the one that begins-

    Through history, there have been many, many stupid people. There have been some exceptionally stupid people. One or two have been so stupid as to make you want to weep. But there's probably only one person who is more stupid than an eight-week old piece of toast, and that is whoever was responsible for rejecting Ennio Morricone's score for What Dreams May Come. ...

    Even if James considers some of his 'lost' reviews to be embarrassingly bad, they convey the essence of all that needs to be said about scores, with the gift of brevity and passion.

    No just your average teenage film score fan commenting on his most recent found treasure in utmost detail.

    I don't think your reviews sound anything like that, yes? confused
