  1. Masterpiece! Very old-fashioned score that I cannot help but wonder how it fits a contemporary film.
  2. A sonic marvel! And I'm not referring to the sound quality but to the music itself! One of my top 10 favorite non-John Williams scores of all time!
  3. Watched this in memory of Carl Weathers, but it was just a mediocre b-movie. I saw the imdb ratings, but somehow I expected something more.
  4. I'm waiting for mine from amazon on February 20th! By the way, do you know the bad news? The atmos track in the first film still doesn't include the choir and percussion in certain parts of the score (as the previous blu-ray). So, the only way I'm gonna watch this is with the original mono track, although the music is said to sound glorious in the remix. Why didn't you buy the Chronicles set?
  5. Heartwarming story, nice score by Howard Shore, a film that has a certain appeal to me.. Watched from my newly purchased 4k disc.
  6. Just finished The boy and the heron. I was excited that I would be watching an anime for the first time in a theater. Well, did we wait for years for this? I found it mediocre at best and not that visually compelling. I didn't find it more disjointed than some other films, but I don't know... Didn't care for it much. That said, I will buy the Blu-ray to complete my Ghibli collection .
  7. Just listened to it. I'm not a big fan of minimalistic music, but that was lovely, good at least for background music doing something else.
  8. Just watched this from my newly purchased magnificent 4k steelbook! Quite enjoyable and I cannot believe how Renny Harlin was nominated for a Razzie award for worst director!
  9. I fear that it is said, the film leaves many things unexplained. I don't like this in films. I like to be served the explanations without trying to find my own!
  10. At last! The Boy and the Heron opens in my country this Thursday! I have never seen an anime in the theater, and I haven't been generally to the theater since The Rise of Skywalker, 5 years ago. Opinions about the film? Is it worth it or should I wait for the blu-ray? I generally LOVE Ghibli films.
  11. I've read a comment somewhere that this is the best Batman movie that has ever been created. Well, I don't agree of course, but it was quite good. The music score was - I think - more operatic than needed, but whatever... Also, I didn't like that the end credits included only a song. I would expect there the operatic music to take over!
  12. I didn't know Scorsese is making a Jesus film! https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2024/01/23/martin-scorsese-catholic-film-killers-flower-moon-246994
  13. Does anyone know what is the best version of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, but without narration?
  14. Well, generally speaking, yes. (I had to look up what aberration means)
  15. After your recommendation, I listened to it too. Quite good score, and although I don't remember Scent of A Woman, I could hear the Thomas Newman influences. I don't know why, but I cannot listen to excerpts from soundtracks. Maybe that's why I don't hear compilations often, or I haven't still viewed/listened to the John Williams concerts. If I want to hear a soundtrack, I want to hear it from start to finish. I handle it as a kind of film (who would want to see scenes from various films in a row?)
  16. I don't know about the expanded soundtrack, but the 4K blu-ray is being released in France: https://www.amazon.fr/Born-on-the-Fourth-of-July-4K-Blu-ray/dp/B0CRWNTT8B
  17. Since I'm not familiar with this composer, can anyone recommend any religious-related/sounding soundtracks (besides Black Robe and Agnes of God)?
  18. I tried twice to watch it, but I slept both times. (I have reached the 1 hour mark). I wonder if I should try a third time and finish it. It didn't grab me at all. And the music score didn't help.
  19. Just paid 171 euros at amazon.uk for these (10 movies in total). My collection habit is really expensive!
  20. Yeah, maybe it has to do with watching the film first in my childhood. That main theme was stuck on my mind afterwards.
  21. I LOVE this score (and film)! (although I'm not into synth scores). Especially the theme. I hope for an official release!
  22. Haven't listened to this. You mean it's atonal, or tonal?
  23. The John Williams score that he'll compose totally out of the blue, without us knowing it!
  24. Director's cut, with the Jerry Goldsmith score of course. (I don't like the Tangerine Dream one) I don't understand the hate for this film. I like it a lot, but I don't know what went wrong with it. I love the magical atmosphere, it has great production values and a sublime musical score (I think it's Goldsmith's masterpiece). Also it's very hard to believe that they built all that forest in a studio! Wow!
