MICHAEL GIACCHINO

No one has mentioned any yet but may I kindly remind people some of us won't be able to see the film for another couple of months so please use spoiler tags where necessary.

indeed, it enters our cinemas in a couple of months too, so indeed please no spoilers.

One thing I noticed in the film was Giacchino's military theme was a variant on his Nazi theme from Secret Weapons Over Normandy. Not a bad score all round. It was good actually. Just not "brilliant".

SUPER 8

If you grew up with 80's american hollywood (naive pure and fun) you'll love it, but bear in mind that it doesn't take itself too seriously neither should you. Michael Giacchino's score is a cross between his LOST sound and the classic John Williams scores for Spielberg, largely serviceable in the movie but forgettable once it ends

I knew that I HAD to do this film - I couldn’t get the idea out of my mind.
- Michael Giacchino

Intrada is proud to announce the first in a series of soundtracks co-branded with Walt Disney Records. The first release is the premiere CD issue of Michael Giacchino's Oscar-winning score to the 2009 animated tale Up and features the Grammy winning soundtrack album program. In fact, Gicacchino was awarded two Grammy's, the second being Best Instrumental Composition for "Married Life." The film is a bittersweet adventure featuring very real characters struggling with difficult emotional issues, yet on a colorful, outlandish and often humorous adventure. A film with a complex emotional base required Giacchino to compose a score that featured an expert blend of action, comedy and nostalgia, a recipe not ordinarily found in an animated film. The result was a score that mixed these elements effortlessly without manipulating the audience -- the mark of an expert composer. As director Pete Doctor remarked, "It was as if he had somehow reached out into the sky and grabbed the soundtrack for our film, as if it has always existed out there."

The film tells the story of Carl Fredricksen, starting with the day he meets his future wife as kids to her elderly death. Upon her death, he straps balloons to his house before it can be demolished, rising up into the sky on a wild adventure. With stowaway Junior Wilderness Explorer Russell as his unexpected companion, the two embark on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, showing that age knows no limits when it comes to friendship, trying something new, or broadening ones horizons.

Isn't it just? Shocking.

Anyway, I WON'T BUY THIS WATERMELON.

very nice release, awful cover indeed, and I find that the people who bought the download version should get a discount

I feel my earlier pooh-pooh comes across a little harsh so I should say I hope it's very successful for them and I only won't buy it because I already bought the download - it does feel like a worthy attempt to do something which might prolong the current soundtrack-release model a bit longer for them and there are plenty of potential releases in this series which I'd buy in a flash.

Well, unfortunately the prohibition watermelon still contains more juice

Some more details on the (great!) artwork here - http://www.magicmusic.net/topic/4775-th … entry33900

I already knew the artwork itself was original preproduction art from Pixar (it's also in the The Art of Up book, so it's not a re-interpretation nor does it have anything to do with rights issues), and although the Disneyland logo struck me as more original than I expect the Intrada team to be, I didn't expect all of it was created by Pixar. Cool! Shows how much they care about their releases and films.

Love the cover, it's nice and old fashioned.

Mission: Impossible IV trailer.

I'm going to avoid the trailer was I want to go into this one spoiler free as possible. I love the M:I films and the third was the best by far.

They must have decided it was safe again for Tom to let his hair down.
