Composeronymous: Just One of Those Weeks
Posted By Todd Richards 3/19/2010 - 9:00 AM

We all get them from time to time, and while they are not the most enjoyable, they must be necessary because they happen to everyone. I'm talking of course about those days or weeks that suck the motivation out of you. Procrastination become paramount. Mental blocks abound. Anxiety levels are off the charts and we can't forget the occasional ride on the trusty "Bi-Polar Coaster".

Aisle Seat March Madness Edition
Posted By Andy Dursin 3/14/2010 - 9:00 PM
Poignant and beautifully told, Lasse Hallstrom’s newest film, HACHI: A DOG’S TALE (***½, 93 mins., 2009, G; Sony), might’ve gone straight to video but ranks as one of last year’s most emotional and satisfying films.

Hello again all, its great to be back! I had a wonderful vacation of skiing, and relaxation with some friends and family up in Maine at the Jordan Grand Resort at Sunday River. The weather was fabulous and couldn't ask for better ski conditions,but I am happy to be home though and to get back to all my goings on, which I'm happy to say are increasing.       

I arrived back in Florida on Tuesday, and have been getting

Film Score Friday 3/12/10
Posted By Scott Bettencourt 3/11/2010 - 9:00 PM

The latest release from Film Score Monthly is a five-disc boxed set titled THE CINCINNATI KID: LALO SCHIFRIN FILM SCORES, VOL. 1 (1964-1968), limited to 2000 units. The contents are as follows:

Disc One: Rhino! film score
Disc Two:  LP tracks from Music from the Motion Picture Once a Thief and Other Themes; Once a Thief film score
Disc Three: The Cincinnati Kid LP tracks, original film score tracks, bonus tracks
Disc Four: The Venetian Affair film score; Sol Madrid LP tracks
Disc Five: Sol Madrid film tracks; bonus tracks inc. themes from
Medical Center, The Mask of Sheba, Earth II


Michael Giacchino won the Original Score Oscar last Sunday for his Grammy-winning score to UP, while T. Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham (the singer/songwriter, not the George Clooney character from Up in the Air) won Original Song for "The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart)." Many film music fans were outraged that three-time Oscar winner Maurice Jarre was apparently omitted from the yearly In Memoriam montage, but he was actually featured at the beginning and end of the sequence -- unfortunately, the camera-and-editing coverage of the sequence made it difficult to spot him.

Why I'm on Twitter - some ramblings on the subject
Posted By Neil Shurley 3/8/2010 - 9:00 PM
Yes, yes, I know. You don't understand Twitter. You already spend enough time on the message boards here or on Facebook or both or whatever. Maybe you just don't care about Twitter. Hey, brother, we reach. I was the same way.

But you know what? A couple days back we found out from David Arnold that a 2 cd set of Independence Day is coming from LaLaLand. And today I got to see some of John Debney's music from Iron Man 2.

Composeronymous: Vancouver 2010
Posted By Todd Richards 3/1/2010 - 9:00 PM

The 2010 Olympics are finished as well as our piece of the same title! I hurried to get it done before my self-imposed deadline and succeeded! I'm thrilled about that too, because I kinda think it came out better than the actually closing ceremonies. I felt bad for Neil Young's voice cracking like an old screen door in the breeze, and I personally can't stand Buble, but I digress.
