But surely in the US they'd say "May fourth be with you" rather than "May the fourth be with you" as we'd say here? And that doesn't work.

Incidentally, today is also the date the specs are revealed for the upcoming Star Wars blu-rays.

It's OK in that down-and-dirty trip hop style, not that dissimilar from The Dust Brothers' FIGHT CLUB, but some of that highpitched sound is a bit grating. Great grooves!
In the film, it works wonders. Have you seen it? a 5/5 score for me.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Really? A perfect rating which puts it on the same league as as Star Wars, Ben-Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, Sunset Boulevard, etc. I haven't seen the film but I have my doubts about it being THAT good!

CRISIS 2 | borislav slavov, tilman sillescu, hans zimmer (themes) & lorne balfe
Quite cool, in unsurprising terrain. Electronics, combined with orchestral elements. I'm 8 tracks in and enjoy it for the most. A track like SOS New York is really nice! The title theme is definitely Zimmery, and not very original. The score tracks by Slavov and Sillescu are more interesting (and more orchestral), but they sometimes use Zimmer's themes (or at least hints, or perhaps it sounds all the same...). Their music reminds me a bit of Graeme Revell's Chronicles of Riddick. It's just a bit all over the place, like with a lot of game scores. And why is it two cd's...

NP: First Knight - Jerry Goldsmith
I like Christian Clemmensen's review at Filmtracks today (although I'm not sure I agree with his "unintentional parody mode" comment).
Neither do I. I never comment on other people's reviews (people in glass houses, and all that) but I couldn't disagree more with that, so will not be able to say again that I never comment on other people's reviews! In no way is it a parody. The film is absolutely awful but Goldsmith gives it life, makes it worth watching. No film score demonstrates more aptly why I think he is the greatest scorer of Hollywood films that there has ever been. No other composer could have done as much to help that film. I was, I'm not afraid to admit it, virtually in tears at the finale (which still isn't called "Arthur's Farewell" on the new release, but should be) thanks to his music, so moving it is in context. It's beautiful on the album, but in the film it packs an incredible punch. There is no parody there at all. It is 100% sincere, quite remarkably so in fact. -

Wow. SOS New York sounds cool. Reminds me of Powell instead of Zimmer. -

No, nothing like that; we talked about that in the past
Not comparing to the classics, these are beyond ratings, imo. But as a modern score, in a movie i really liked, i thought it was flawless, especially during 3 scenes. The whole cinema was dancing. On cd, it doesn't say much.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Ultimate Soul of a Nation - Howard Shore
Lord of the Rings 2.0 in a video game. On the whole, it is filled with quality Shore-esque moments of epic writing, but it's missing the silver bullet of thematic presence which makes it a bit disappointing considering how highly acclaimed this score was.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

I am talking about the sound mix. They reversed the rear channels on their last DVD release (lets not get into how horrible the special edition soundtracks sound and the mixing issues) and dialed out music during the trench run so I'm sure they are going to fuck something up on the Blu-Rays. It's in their DNA.
-Erik-
PS - The special edition films suck... mostly. I do however like most of the new effects and shot added into Star Wars during The Battle of Yavin.

Even I noticed the crappy sound on the DVD release - and I never notice such things.
Still, like a moth to the flame, I'm sure I will buy the Blu-Rays. And then in a couple of years I'll buy the 3-D Blu-Rays. -

Wild Africa - Christopher Gunning
A nice documentary score (pardon the Gladiator sounding bits). A strong main theme and exotic underscore mix together make the album above average for scores of this type. The album is a bit overlong and the underscore as a whole isn't totally cohesive but it's just enough.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream.
