  1. Oddly enough, I'd say almost all of Revell's best scores are unreleased, or under represented on CD.

    Instead we get the sound scapes and crap nobody and their grandma asked for, like "The Fog" and "Assault on Precinct 13".

    I'm happy to see, though, looking over his IMDB resume again, that recently the next Riddick film has been added; it wasn't there about a couple weeks ago.

    Revell is a great composer. If he only had done DEAD CALM and THE CROW, his legacy would already have been secured. Fortunately for us, there are many more gems on his resume. I'm very fascinated by his early work with industrial band SPK too.
    I am extremely serious.
  3. A problem for me, though, is that even his top shelf scores never bring him to even the second teir composers. And even with his very best scores, there's still no "Back to the Future", no "Superman", no "Rudy", etc. -- classic score.

    I've not been able to figure out why that is, though I got loose theories.

    Because he's not as talented as the people who wrote those scores? I know that's a wild theory, but still...

    NP: The Bourne Legacy - James Newton Howard

    First full listen today. There are some excellent action tracks through out the running time, but the lack of thematic elements (compared to John Powell's Bourne work) make it all feel very anonymous and perfunctory.

    Well, honestly I only heard Revell's score once, maybe I missed something there?

    But I find Goldsmith's one of his best (action) score of the nineties, and one of my favourites by him.

  9. My personal opinion, but "Small Soldiers" and "Star Trek: Insurrection" are far better than that one.

    Total Recall - Jerry Goldsmith

    If the score for the remake has one good aspect, it's that it's inspired me to rediscover this audacious score. Goldsmith reinvented himself for the last time here, with some of the most effective and exciting action music anyone's ever written but also that magnificent quasi-religious material. "The Mutant" is one of his single finest pieces.

  12. LOVE ME IF YOU DARE - Philippe Rombi

    This is really great. Maybe not quite on the level of his very finest scores, but very close. Beautiful stuff.

    No, more because his style differs from those composers (even though he has whipped up a good melodic -- more traditional -- score once in a while too, like TITAN A.E. or LARA CROFT).

    Holy Sweet Jesus! "The Mirrors" (and its superior, alternate version) from Intrada's new expanded release of The Shadow is mind-blowing! For those against expanded editions are most definitely missing out on an Jerry Goldsmith action gem!

    To have the horrendous Brian Tyler logo, immediately followed by Jerry's main title is like the biggest leap in writing quality I've ever heard.

    And yes, the remake looks to be a lot less entertaining than the original is.

    Gonna be doing something interesting today. I was flipping through my Making of Star Wars book and came upon a paragraph dealing with the musical temp track Geroge Lucas used for the film. Some of this is common knowledge but I was surprised to read that they used Rozsa's Ivanhoe for the Main Title. They also sourced music from Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, Dvorak's New World Symphony (Throne Room and End Title) and Bruckner's Symphony No.9 for Luke's Theme. So, I thought I'd listen to all four works today starting with The Rite of Spring featuring conductor Leonard Bernstein and the London Symphony Orchestra.

    it was first the new universal logo, then the tri star and then the carolco
    the new Brian Tyler logo was specifically added for the attention of 100 years Universal (considering we got a 3 minute celebration scene before the menu popped up)

    There must have been some temp track loving because Stravinsky's influence remains in the film ( desert music / Jawas ). James Horner has either never heard of Stravinsky wink or he was listening to Williams STAR WARS for his score to BLACK GOLD ( The Blowing Sands ).

    They mentioned the Jawas and the desert music specifically in the book when referencing Stravinsky.

    NP: The Shadow - Jerry Goldsmith

    One of my favorite all time Goldsmith score, next to Total Recall. So melodic and thematic and uniquely appropriate for the movie, which I also enjoy, if not as a guilty pleasure.

    Yeah of course you are right bro, first the Tri Star music, and then the Carolco, which is also a short but excellent Goldsmith theme.

    What movies was this in again, before they went bust? Total Recall, T2, what else? Was T2 the last Carolco film?

  27. wasn't cutthroat island the last carolco? tongue

    In a radio interview in 2011, director Renny Harlin discussed the film's box-office failure. He pointed out that Carolco was already in ruin before Cutthroat Island even began shooting, but had to make the film since financing from foreign investors was already in place. MGM, the film's distributor, was in the process of being sold and thus could not devote itself into financing a marketing campaign for the film.[7] Carolco filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy a month before Cutthroat Island's release.[8]

    I still can't believe that movie did poorly, it's non stop fun

    CutThroat is a guilty pleasure. Great photography, stunts, music, special effects and sound but the casting was all wrong (except for Frank Langella as Dawg) and the script blew chunks.

    Here's is one of my all time favorite laughable moments of the movie!
