Jay 37,266 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yes, I enjoyed this new trailer much more than the previous one. The film MIGHT actually end up being good, who knows!I am very much looking forward to this score, actually. I am not a fan of JNH's recent action scores like Salt, Bourne 4, Snow White, etc, his collaborations with M Night are just about always good, and I have a feeling this movie will inspire a great score out of him, maybe his best Shyamalan score since Signs?

Richard Penna 3,665 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Signs is by far my favourite of their entire collaboration.Not encouraged too much by the string ostinatos, but it is M.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Arguing which is better, Signs, The Village, The Lady Under the Water, or Last Airbender is like arguing that you like a perfectly cooked, filet, ribeye, porterhouse, or skirt steak. Now comes along a perfectly cooked flatiron with After Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,978 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Well, I guess it kind of sounds like James Newton Howard. But I can't say I'm overwhelmed with its beauty.I need the whole album to judge.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I agree. Sounds a bit like THE HAPPENING (which is a very good score) but there are red alert flags like pounding drums and some droning textures. So i expect something solid if not spectacular.

publicist 4,643 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I love THE LAST AIRBENDER. SNOW WHITE has some decent cues. In the end, the hobby just isn't what it used to be. I don't see much reason to even listen to something like PACIFIC RIM, SUPERMAN or even STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS because it all seems rather mundane, musically.

crocodile 7,978 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Star Trek is probably a tad better than the previous one. But not extraordinary by any means. The others I have no real interest in either.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I trust JNH to find at least some interesting soundscapes for Shymalayan. He always excelled in making these score maybe not all extraordinary, but not ordinary, either. With the Smith family at the helm, there might be what i call the Tom-Cruise-baggage: a promise to the audience to deliver cookie-cutter blockbuster shit and after MNS's latest stinkers he will be more malleable to star requests.AFTER EARTH and its music surely would profit from being a smaller movie.

Jay 37,266 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Dude, recording sessions for film scores leak all the timeSo I listened to all 26 minutes of the Cinema Musica "suite" on my way to work this morning. I am impressed, and also unimpressed.On the one hand, I enjoyed a lot of what I heard - lovely piano work, fun action music, great ambiance and atmosphere, some cool ethnic instruments. But what's missing is a strong theme to tie everything together. What makes Signs so great - for me - is the great main theme! I can never get enough of it throughout the album. My other favorite JNH score - Waterworld - has 3 awesome themes played at the right times throughout the OST.Maybe I just missed a main theme in my one listen. Or maybe it's just not in the samples. I guess I shouldn't judge until I've heard the entire OST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Well the samples do not set my world on fire but I'll wait for the album before a more fully formed assessment. As publicist said The Happening might not have exactly impressed on first go but it turned out a very nuanced and Herrmannesque little score.
