I am not sure if this comment would be considered racist (if it is, please delete it), but a black Hercules?

Just listened to this too.
While Sarde isn't great in my book like let's say John Williams, with easily recognizable melodies, he never fails to deliver good music.

In case anyone wants to complete his blu-ray filmography of John Williams, Penelope and Not but the Brave are part of a sale at Movie Zyng, where you can buy 4 Warner Archive blu-rays for $49.

(I want 40-50 titles from that sale, and don't know what to pick first! But those 2 movies, are not part of what I want)

It has some very good moments, but honestly I found it uneven. I expected more...

ALL IS TRUE - A beautifully directed and acted film by Kenneth Branagh about the old Shakespeare. I loved it.
Never heard of this.
How is the score by Doyle?
edit: never mind. I just listened to it at spotify.

I have seen the film once or twice, but honestly I don't remember a thing about Barry's score.
I am not sure I even noticed it in the film.

I would love Gerard Butler, but I guess he's too old? (54)
My next choice is Tom Hardy.

Exquisite, elegant score with nice melodies.
The thing is I didn't catch any recurring theme on first listen...

From the cover, it might look like a cheesy comedy, and perhaps it is. But one shouldn't be fooled by the cover. Remember how WE'RE NO ANGELS, despite its cover, housed a rollicking George Fenton action score? While this is no action score, it's a gorgeous religioso score that channels wonderful, lithurgic choir. No comedy in sight. I'm ALWAYS sold when it comes to this religious sound, so this quickly rocketed into my top 10 Sarde when I discovered it a few weeks back.
Just listened to it too.
Wasn't so interested in the choir music, as it sounded more like source music, but in the rest. Quite good music!

Another expensive purchase from ebay!
I really should purchase blu-rays as soon as they become available, and not to wait until they become OOP!

Although studio Ghibli has done much better movies, I was glad that the Boy and the Heron won the Oscar.

Classic!
I don't even love the movie but I bought it nonetheless to support magnificent restorations, like the Arrow is one (unlike the latest Cameron 4Ks which seem to be awful!)

103 euros!! Another one from ebay, a release coming from a box.
4k of course.

Just now, Faleel said:
IIRC his book correctly, Rozsa said you have to listen to a work at least twice, so you can get the shape of it, before you can judge it fully.
Ah, I see!

Miklos Rozsa would say you need to listen to it again.
You compare this to Rozsa?

I'm afraid it didn't do anything to me.
Maybe, besides some old scores that I love, I'm not that into big fantasy-adventure scores anymore...

This is a great one. Big, bold and religoso, with choir and operatic solo voices, among other things. True, some of those "contemporary ostinati" here and there aren't that interesting, but for the most part a very impressive work by Mr. Donaggio in the latter part of his career. (Sorry I didn't mention to it to you before, filmmusic, but I only just discovered it myself as I'm trying to build my Donaggio collection a little bit).
I just finished listening to it!
I agree with your assessment. I'm not familiar at all with Donaggio, but this was impressive indeed.

What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)

A facebook friend of mine said that this was Kilar's Dracula 2, a masterpiece, the best score for a TV production ever.
I am not sure if it holds up to that title, but it sure was great, with Dracula-like chorus pieces, minimalistic of course as always with Kilar's music.
In Kilar mode again. The vocal theme was sublime.
