- Comment I somehow missed that Tobe Hooper died august 26th. I only know him of Poltergeist which was (ghost)directed by Spielberg. Terrible pun I know. :rolleyes: Anyway R.I.P. because I love that film, but I've never seen anything else by him.

- Comment I listened to that one just a few days ago. I wouldn't say dated at all. From another time yes. From a better Zimmer time definitely. Awesome score !

And in that case doubly surprisingly as Bay is famously AWFUL with actors.[/quote] Also in the very good disaster flick 'San Andreas'.

- Comment [b]MEDAL OF HONOR: FRONTLINE - Mike Giacchino[/b] This is that rich orchestral sound that Mike will likely never ever return to and that is a crying shame. I don't care if it's pastiche because it's FUCKING GLORIOUS from start to finish !!!!!

- Comment Their bank balance would suggest they have a small bit of talent in that area. :cheese: Ok, they're not in the same league as say, Daniel Day-Lewis, or De Niro in his prime, but you cannot deny they have no screen presence or zero charisma.

- Comment It's just big action-packed entertainment. There's nothing more to search for. These movies don't take themselves too seriously, and people looking for something deeper hidden under the surface won't find it. I'm just glad for the non-convoluted storylines unlike in the endless barrage of soulless ...

- Comment [b]Fast & Furious 8[/b] I love this franchise. There I've said it, and am not ashamed of it. It's basically the only big movie franchise anymore that keeps on delivering the goods (my kind of goods). For action junkies there's enough testosterone-filled spectacle which is just one aspect of ...

Lots of variety and just the perfect length too, and the action music rocks. What an amazing year 1995 was for scores, and how long ...

Also one of those examples of a superbly crafted score album, like with Lost in Space by Broughton, or Horner's The Rocketeer, and I'm afraid the ...
