DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
THE EDGE OF LOVE - Angelo Badalamenti
"Occasionally, Angelo Badalamenti's fine score will pleasantly remind you of 'Mulholland Drive.'"
Melissa Anderson, L.A. Weekly
"Non-source music by Angelo Badalamenti contributes a spooky, contempo texture that abrades the rigorous period detail in an interesting way."
Leslie Felperin, Variety
THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT - John Murphy
"The director, Dennis Iliadis, indulges in arty flashbacks and camera tricks, and tries to bring a religious agony to several of the murder scenes. He lathers on the dirgelike music (one of the musical numbers on the soundtrack is actually called 'Dirge') and displays [Garrett] Dillahunt's knife entering his first female victim with a rituallike inevitability."
Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun
RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN - Trevor Rabin
"If the last 20 minutes of 'E.T' were stretched to an hour and a half, then drained of any emotional gusto, you'd have this movie, which, truth be told, plays more as if the producers and director were looking to catch Jerry Bruckheimer's eye: car crashes, shoot-outs, fisticuffs, a guitar-synth score that suggests a video-game version is also in the offing."
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
"The film from Andy Fickman (who also directed [Dwayne] Johnson in the football comedy 'The Game Plan'), based on a script by Matt Lopez and Mark Bomback, is all noise and action, overedited shootouts with blaring music."
Christy Lemire, Associated Press |
