- Comment [b]Star Trek Beyond[/b] - Michael Giacchino Like Thor, I'm not finding this particularly magical. Nor musically interesting. Giacchino's sound for blockbuster spectacles leaves a lot to be desired for me.

I like effective pacing. I like storylines with something at stake. I like coherent visuals. And I like an element of surprise ...

- Comment [b]The Sea Hawk[/b] - E. Korngold Aged or not, it's gold. Also: Never noticed before, but the motif in "Escape from the Galley" sounds just like John Williams's "Hook-napped."

But the ending strives for an unconvincing, emotional high note that seems pasted in from a different film entirely. ...

- Comment [quote][b]Thor wrote[/b] [b]NP: THE MASTER (Jonny Greenwood)[/b] One of the few current film composers who employ modernistic techniques consistently; but this one is fairly accesible -- has almost an impressionistic Debussy quality at times.[/quote] Accessible, yes. And sublime in the film.

- Comment [b]El Dorado[/b] - John Adams This is one of my very favorites. Opens up with the orchestra seeming to imitate the overlapping motions and sounds of a natural environment. But once things speed up, it becomes clear the music's coming from a very human point of view. Ecstatic and celebratory. I ...

- Comment [b]Cinema Paradiso[/b] - Ennio Morricone Lovely. Listening to Morricone, I feel like he's capturing a height of feeling that's many, many registers above that of my daily life. (Certainly higher than what's going on in the world events thread at the moment. :) )

- Comment [b]Apollo 13[/b] - James Horner It's working for me. Love the timing in "All Systems Go." And the celebratory second half of "Re-entry and Splashdown" sounds like Morricone! In a good way. This is not an accusation.
