Jay 37,380 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 One of my favorite scores! You really need both the OST album and FYC to get the whole picture, since "Gritty Shaker", "A Little Less Conversation Remix", and "Claire De Lune" are essential parts of the musical tapestry as much as Holmes' original score, IMO. Though the dialogue on the OST is terrible so I'm so grateful we got the FYC Brónach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might also want to check out KING OF THIEVES (Wallfisch), THE MAN FROM UNCLE (Pemberton again), MAD MEN: ON THE ROCKS (Carbonara, more loungey), DOLEMITE IS MY NAME (Bomar) or LET THEM ALL TALK (Newman, again more loungey). You could of course also go back to the "classics" of yesteryear. You know Hayes, Mayfield, Budd, Schifrin, Q etc. Or even John Williams ("New Shooter" and "Neptune's Bar" on CINDERELLA LIBERTY). filmmusic and Brónach 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,020 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Yeah, the score is rock solid. Probably one of the most underappreciated works by JNH. I've listened to these in the past couple of days: Young Sherlock Holmes Avatar The Amazing Spider-Man Scream 2 Star Trek: The Motion Picture Poltergeist Lincoln And the second Violin Concerto by John Williams which is really growing on me.

Naïve Old Fart 9,557 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I feel that I can and, also, cannot, comment, on THE LAST AIRBENDER. I tried to watch it, but I gave up, after 15 minutes. I've no idea how the film progresses, and I don't want to. All I know is, what I did see was dog shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,477 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 The movie is indeed atrocious, which is unfortunate because the animated series it was based on is wonderful. Certainly one of the best animated shows of all time, so good that it should be watched not just by kids but also by older folk as well. I'd say it's better than 90% of those very expensive fantasy shows for adults in streaming platforms (like The Witcher, The Rings of Power, The Wheel of Time, etc). But it certainly didn't need a live-action adaptation - and still doesn't, a lesson that Netflix failed to learn. Sometimes an animated masterpiece should remain animated.

Bellosh 3,422 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 The scene where they attempt to outrun the wind is possibly the worst scene in modern day movie history from a movie that's not on Lifetime or Hallmark channel. I thought m nights bad run started with lady in the water and placing himself as the character that writes a book that changes the history of the world. Anyone should have seen the happening coming. Apparently his newer stuff is good though! I'm glad he's making good stuff again! You're allowed to have shit movies as a director. Just as long as you got some good ones.

Tom Guernsey 2,287 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Elmer doing his old fashioned epic thing on his final score* for a documentary about the director who gave him his biggest break (and Victor Young being unwell). Quite strident for a documentary, but guess anything less wouldn't really be true to the spirit of DeMille. Have to admit that his movies aren't really my cup of tea, although they did give rise to the best Hollywood catering company name ever... Cecil B DeMeals. Genius. *I always thought his last score was Far From Heaven - and probably will continue to think of as his last effort as it's such a perfect title for a final effort, even for a total non-believer like myself. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,287 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Whatever you expect the fourth Omen score to sound like will probably be wrong unless you expect a mix of Bernard Herrmann and Carl Stalling... It's quite enjoyable music on its own terms but nothing that really gives it away as a score to an Omen movie and it leaps across quite wild stylistic gaps albeit remarkably not sounding all that disjointed. If I remember correctly, the actual horror in the film were tracked with music from Jerry's scores for the first three, which would partly explain why Sheffer's score is so uncharacteristic given the subject matter.

crocodile 8,020 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas by Harry Gregson-Williams. Easily one of composer's finest, the album flows effortlessly from start to finish. It is sort of the antidote to Pirates of the Caribbean from the same year. It is mad to think the film and score will turn 20 next month! Karol Tom Guernsey and Brónach 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,477 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Agent Cody Banks by John Powell It's a score that mixes Powell's cartoon hijinks with typical David Arnold-Bond music, which means that it's a close cousin to Bolt and a less serious version of Paycheck (which wasn't exactly too "serious" anyway). It's all very silly, which I imagine it's by design - I mean, it's one of those crap 2000s family movies with a ridiculous premise. Still, the action music is terrific (particularly close to the end) and everything is overall very fun. If you dig Powell's mid-2000s action scores you'll dig this.

Popular Post Tom Guernsey 2,287 Posted June 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2023 Listening to the demos of Hans' score to The Lion King from the Legacy Edition which reminded me of this "memory" on Facebook from a post in 2014 with comments by Joel McNeely about score mock-ups. Now, I should say that I enjoy many of HZ's scores, but I do wonder if perhaps his biggest impact on film music isn't specifically what he actually writes but largely how he writes it, particularly the ability to provide mock-ups that sound so close to the real thing that the director doesn't really have to worry when they get to the scoring stage that it'll sound materially different to what they've heard in the composer's studio. Even the samples used for The Lion King (now almost 30 years ago) sound pretty decent. I guess modern samples sound better so the kind of music JMcN is talking about probably now sounds better at the demo stage as there's greater subtlety, but I'm sure it still significantly impacts how film composers write their music.

crocodile 8,020 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Kong: Skull Island by Henry Jackman. I used to think this score was a letdown at the time but now I reckon it is actually really clever. Much like Desplat's Godzilla, it manages to combine the requirements of modern post-TDK world with the touch of Golden Age glamour. It might seem surprising but Jackman provided the most memorable theme for Kong out of all of them (I am actually being serious), skilfully addressing various conflicting aspects of the character. The other thematic material for Monarch is also cleverly incorporated. Shame I didn't like this movie one bit. Karol Tom Guernsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Jackman, but he is versatile to the point of being able to make scores that don't connect with me at all. (I've tried to love Captain America: Civil War! I've TRIED!) I enjoyed the film.
