You guys need to listen to stuff like PROMISED LAND, RESTLESS or THE NEXT THREE DAYS. That's the kind of adult, more restrained Elfman that I love these days. High expectations also for the Donald Rumsfeld documentary, which -- from the little I've heard -- sounds like a riff on the brilliant S.O.P. (which was also an Erroll Morris film).
However, I do think there's some great stuff in the kiddie material too.I am extremely serious. -

Wasn't really impressed with Promised Land (can't remember a lick about it, actually, other than that it was pretty restrained and quite minimalistic) but I do very much enjoy The Next Three Days, a lot moreso than I'd usually expect to enjoy a score like that. -

Again, why not just listen to Hog Chase? Powell doing a Bond score doesn't interest me at all.
Because I want to hear more excellent Powell action music in the style of "Hog Chase" and I think that sound would work really well in a Bond movie. Not so hard to understand, is it?
Meh... I'll just listen to Agent Cody Banks!

PROMISED LAND is absolutely gorgeous, and one of my favourite scores from the last couple of years. But to each their own.I am extremely serious. -

To be honest I don't see what's so shockingly dreadful about that score. I mostly just found it dull. But I can easily see how someone who likes Cliff Martinez might enjoy it.

Yeah, I posted similar thoughts that score recently. It's frustrating because I don't know exactly what to fault - technically it's all fine - but for whatever reason, my interest in new scores by him has diminished to almost nothing over the last couple years. Couldn't for the life of me tell you why.
As for "aiming higher" - well, I think that modern-day animated movies are usually a much more fertile ground for composers than modern-day action movies, and their scores have generally been much more enjoyable. So I don't fault Elfman for trying his hand at it. But it doesn't seem like he's the greatest match.
Isn't easy to guess? Same as JNH, Silvestri, etc. They lost interest, they're in for the money, thus it's natural that it shows in the music they compose, and we lose interest too.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I agree with D and Erik, this is bloody outstanding.
Glad you liked it dear Tim, this was a huge surprise in 2013! Great score, very eager to hear his future works. 'Buried', his breakthrough score, although good, didn't hint that this would follow.
It's a fantastically full-bodied work that just grips and doesn't let go. It's worthy of the concert hall.

NP: The Yakuza - Dave Grusin
A great main theme when it gets going. The rest is a bit more "atmospheric" than I remember it being. But, because there's a strong Oriental influence on the score, it's still interesting to listen to.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

I was 6, knowing nothing about SW. I think I was 9 years old when I became highly interested in SW toys they sold when EMPIRE hit. I loved the die cast x-wing. (Never got it.
) The films itself I saw relatively late on VHS video. Not before the special editions did I see the OT on the big screen.
Germany was not as used to space opera as was the English speaking world. I wasn't till the 1978 re-run that SW really took off.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -
