Latest review: Sneakers (1992)
http://www.movie-wave.net/sneakers/
James, one minor comment about the review:
"Cosmo . . . Old Friend" is Horner's take on Arvo Part's "Fratres", not a Khachaturian reference.
It's a mash-up of Part, Glass (from Glassworks) and a bit of Khachaturian in there, too!

I know you love this score, so I'm not surprised that you would have a good response. I may need to listen to that cue again - maybe the memory of the Part stuff overwhelms the Khachaturian for me.
I know Horner's version of that piece so well that I forget what the original sounds like now. Maybe the bit from Patriot Games in "Electronic Battlefield" isn't from the Khachaturian, but that bit from Patriot Games definitely inspired the "I might be able to crash the whole damn system" section.
God I love this fucking movie and score and everything. Except the poster. Not an eye-catching poster! Come on, marketing!
The influences on Horner's score cannot be denied, but he references these pieces in a way that doesn't come off as stale or a pale imitation in the way that many temp track scores usually turn out. He really knocks it out of the park in every cue (no matter who worked on a lot of the unreleased Playtronics stuff, though I'd like to know who did those!).

Didn't he also toss some of Vaughan-Williams' Tommy Tal-Tals up in that bad boy, or am I thinking of something else?

Hahaha I'm sure he did.

I also appreciate that he gives stars for his reviews, so I don't spend a review reading about what will turn out to be a two-star score. I stopped reading another review site years ago when I dumped ratings.
It's also a fun way, if you want a laugh, to get a laugh by reading some of his "NO STARS" reviews; scores so bad that couldn't even muster one star.

Sequels starring George Kennedy? What on earth are you referring to?
A Police Squad / Naked Gun reference.
