- Comment [b]Battlestar Galactica: The Living Legend[/b] (1978) Maybe the strongest story of the classic series. Lloyd Bridges gives a fine perfoprmance as Commander Cain and it improves the narrative to confront Lorne Greene with a true match. When I first saw the reimagined series in 2004 I focused on the ...

- Comment Yes I have, Thomas. I need to rewatch it, because I remember I was very tired and the film didn't make that much of an impression. That was probably me and not the film. :)

- Comment Yes and no. I still find The Force Awakens a strong score with great thematic material. The Last Jedi (We are in agreement concerning the film.) was a difficult film to score utilising the leitmotiv approach. Essentially no new characters, no new places, at least none of relevance, so there was ...

How great is that? What compares to that? Shores musical universe for Middle Earth comes to mind. Apart from that only ...

I have jet to see the film. Some research showed, that I had to familiarize myself with the score. It is a lovely melodic ...

- Comment [b]Alien 3[/b] (1992) While this film might not reach the level of its predecessors, I do think, that it is vastly underrated. I like the take on religion and the way, Goldenthal's brilliant score reflects on this aspect. Also I like the cast and I think the photography is superb. I don't like, ...

- Comment NP: [b]Vangelis: Nocturne The Piano Album[/b] (2019) Great interpretations of classic tunes alongside new ones. Some of the new takes are surprisingly (and pleasantly) different from the original versions. So this is no rehash but a genuine fresh listening experience. It mostly is not piano solo ...
