I found the sixth sense terribly unengaging. Didn't even make it till the end, read it on Wikipedia. -

Those We Don't Speak Of, JNH. And then you just have to admit no words can describe just how you are feeling. -

None whatsoever. Oops, good point! I read a lot about how the premise is unbelievable, but it really worked for me. -

The village. SPOILERS!!!! The film certainly provides lots of food for thought and obviously Rotten Tomatoes proves how utterly useless it is yet again. The casting is great as well, with special mentions for BDH and William Hurt. The whole vision of the elders is flawed, though: we’ll run away from violence in society by pretending we’re a century earlier and threaten inhabitants with violence so that they don’t leave the village, although I guess that’s part of their trauma. Okay, well, now the elephant in the room. The score. I had already heard the Gravel Road in concert, conducted by none other than the man himself, but knowing what the Gravel Road actually is, totally changes things, of course. No movie deserves such beautiful music. The desperation, the yearning… I could continue to try and find words, but nothing I write will ever do justice to it. Somebody expand it NOW so I can buy it. And thanks to the audio-describer who went out of his way not to clearly state that Ivy was blind. God, I hate it when they do that. It wouldn’t have killed me. -
I'm going for the Horner concert.

Oh God, yes, ritardando whenever possible! Schindler's List theme possibilities are endless, to name just one. -

The money pit. Happy I finished it. Hanks sounds almost unrecognisable, Long is fantastic, the sound mix and the music is great and the OST doesn't exist. -
I'm not really complaining, I'm just astonished that, going through these conductor boxes, so many people seemed to insist on recording the same stuff over and over again. And even more astonished that the financial powers that be let them do it. Like, why did no one say: Listen, your 60s recording is good enough, you're not doing this anymore. Do something else. Can you imagine LLL allowing a re-print of Hook while the first version was still available just because they managed to make a violin line a bit more audible?
