Josh500 1493 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Is it just me, or does Nicole Kidman have an incredibly slim waist on that cover... That's gotta be photoshop! Â 4 minutes ago, Arpy said: I don't know, I've just never had the want to sit down and watch Far and Away, but perhaps I will seeing as it's now got an expanded release... Â Far and Away is a pretty good movie. Enjoyable, fun, emotional. Good cinematography, good story, and (of course) good music. I have no idea why it bombed at the box office...

Holko 5374 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Listened to the OST and watched the movie today. I'll probably get this, even if not instantly. At times I expected it to break out into Plowing! That damn pan flute is the only thing I'm really iffy about. 2 seconds of the song were enough to convince me I'm really glad it's not on here. Â Movie's dumb and simpleton but not offensively horrible; it's perfectly watchable and occasionally looks nice if you can get past Cruise's "accent".

Â Interesting that LLL have released three Cruise expansions in the last 5 months. I believe Cruise signs off on any artwork featuring his image, so presumably these releases all went across his desk for approvals. Would make sense if they did a batch of releases in one go, so perhaps there's more to come?

Thor 3799 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 No comment on this particular release, as you would expect.  But the score is so good, one of my alltime favourites by JW (in his best-ever decade).  Interestingly, this was the first-ever JW release that was ONLY released on CD -- no accompanying LP release. Well, and cassette, of course, but who counts that these days? bollemanneke 1 Link to post Share on other sites
