Soundtrack Geek Is Getting Married!
Soundtrack Geek - Movie Scores and Soundtracks» Soundtrack Geek – Movie Scores and Soundtracks —
... Yes, that’s right, and no, it’s not a metaphor for The Dark Knight soundtrack even though it’s pretty sensational. Me, Jørn Tillnes, the soundtrack geek is getting married 8.8.8. That’s August 8th 2008 if you didn’t know. What does this mean for soundtrackgeek.com? Well, it’s a time for change and its coming, a quite substantial change I would say, but not to worry, it won’t happen right away. ...

Soundtrack Review: Wanted (2008)
Soundtrack Geek - Movie Scores and Soundtracks» Soundtrack Geek – Movie Scores and Soundtracks —
... nothing really new here on this score, it’s a mix of the new and the old Elfman and I do expect better than that. A bit of a disappointment really, but I still think the movie won’t be as “standard” as this score. Listen to Wanted by Danny Elfman below:

... So how was the summer? Hope you all got some good rest and plenty of soundtracks of course. I’ve had an amazing 5 weeks in sunny Indonesia with my wife. Did I mention I got married? August 8th was the big day and it was truly the best day of my life. I saw 2 movies, one that sucked and on that didn’t. The movies were X-Files and The Dark Knight. Guess which one sucked and which one was excellent? I won’t bore you with the answer. ...

... Let me just start by saying that I am a big fan of the show, I love it, I practically grew up with it. Mulder and Scully became my FBI buddies discovering the truth out there so I didn’t have to. I was so excited that the new movie was finally here and I said to my wife: “Hey let’s go watch the X-Files instead of The Dark Knight“. Big mistake! Practically everything was wrong with this movie. Mulder and Scully wasn’t really Mulder and Scully and the only X they had in this ...

... Despite the number of poor tracks near the end, it ends on a high and this score has a lot of highs. Did it live up to the hype? Yes it did and more. Brian Tyler delivers yet again a great action score in Bangkok Dangerous and he has reclaimed his spot as the number one action composer (Like there was any doubts). It’s up the with great action scores like The Dark Knight, Death Race and Doomsday and is a strong contender for the action score of the year. ...

... According to Variety, the rules of the academy states that at least 70% of the cues on the score must be credited the composers (James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer). Wait a minute? Does that mean that over 30% of the cues on The Dark Knight composed by someone else? Yes according to the academy who claims that 5 composers are listed on the cue sheet. Interestingly enough, Hans Zimmer said in an interview with Variety earlier that listing more composers on the cue sheet was a way of rewarding some of ...

Soundtrack Review: Loft (2008)
Soundtrack Geek - Movie Scores and Soundtracks» Soundtrack Geek – Movie Scores and Soundtracks —
... It’d be unfair to label “Casino” as the album’s centrepiece based on running time alone, but twelve minutes of permutative repitition is indeed the show-stealer. This makes an interesting companion piece with the ever-so slightly overrated “Why So Serious?” cue from The Dark Knight. Whereas the Newton Howard/Zimmer collaboration was essentially one note twisted into multiple unhinged variations, “Casino” kneads a complete phrase. Both have the similar swell of scavenging strings and ...

... its purpose with its slightly heavy percussion beats followed by a brass heroic theme. It simply says: Let’s get ready for battle! What follows can simply be classified as a highly energetic and pulse throbbing video game score. The video game scores released are usually very grand and tries to emulate movie scores as best they can, but not this one. Stuart Lawson saw what this game needed, and it wasn’t a “Lord Of The Rings” epic kind of score or a “The Dark Knight ...

... Some would say that James Newton Howard has had a strong 2008. I can’t say I agree with that, although there have been a couple of good efforts. From the abysmal The Happening to the outstanding collaboration with Hans Zimmer for The Dark Knight, he has had a rollercoaster of a year. This time he has gotten Joshua Bell to swing the violin and that is not a bad thing because Defiance has already been nominated for quite a few awards including best score at the Oscars. My peers has also put this ...

Ask many Zimmer fans when they discovered him during this hot streak period (I’ve done this extensively both in my own experience and online) and they’ll tell you it was The Rock. Ask those same people about Zimmer’s best work, they’ll list The Rock right alongside, Gladiator and The Dark Knight. ...

Yet Horner’s infectious energy and development proves too irresistible, and the ballsy action is certainly a step up. Even if you find this score paling a bit in comparison to Goldsmith’s innovative masterpiece, there’s no real weak point you can pick at for purposes of degrading this fine alternate approach. In an age where some film music fans decry newer approaches on entrenched sagas (the Dark Knight debate ...

I wouldn’t call Zimmer and Bell the dynamic duo since it’s been so overdone for him and James Newton Howard for The Dark Knight ...
