New Release Tuesday - Score For A Millionaire The fifth and final Golden Globe nominated film score hits shelves today. A.R. Rahman's music for Slumdog Millionaire may put the composer on the American map. He's been something of a prolific writer for Indian films (averaging around seven films per year) but New Release Tuesday - The Good, The Bad and the Golden Globes Ten, count them, ten new soundtrack releases this week including two from the Golden Globe nominations list Yes Man Soundtrack - Zooey Deschanle Rocks The Keytar The reality is Munchausen By Proxy is the fake 80's-homage-esque band from the film and the leadsinger is the character played by the beautiful and talented Zooey Deschanel. That's right...Zooey jamming out on the keytar. Sound awful? It's actually kind of hilarious in a Twilight-Zone kind of way. Jackson Goes Eno For The Lovely Bones Peter Jackson has tapped a composer to score his latest directorial effort, The Lovely Bones, but for a director of Jackson's caliber the pick seems more than a little unusual. Bolt - SOUNDTRACK REVIEW Finally! John Powell scores a Disney movie! Forgive my excitement, but for all the animated movie scores Powell has composed it’s a wonder and a shame Disney hasn’t had him on board to do one of theirs. Now it’s happened and the results 66th Golden Globes Announces Music Noms The major awards season has officially kicked off with this morning's announcements of the Golden Globe award nominations. The awards are usually considered a clue-in as to what the Academy Award nominations may look like and the categories for best original score and best original song are no exception. Marley and Me Score For The Dogs When your movie stars Jennifer Aniston (to bring in the guys), a really cute golden lab puppy (to bring in the girls) and Owen Wilson (to try and bring in everything inbetween) you don't really need a powerful soundtrack to help draw in your audience. You just need something light and fluffy to make the dog a touch cuter, Anitson's tears a bit softer and Owen Wilson a little less creepy. New Release Tuesday - Bonus Batman the real big new release is the 2 CD special edition release of the score from The Dark Knight. There's been big news lately about whether or not this score would be eligible for consideration for this year's Academy Awards. At the latest check they're still in, making this special release even more reason for fans to celebrate. Dark Knight Composers Eligible Again; Still Getting The Shaft The score for The Dark Knight is a solid achievement, but if you ask me both Shore and Zimmer are getting the shaft. Their collaboration on Dark Knights' predecessor Batman Begins was eliminated in 2005 on a similar technicality that almost cost them this year, but there wasn't a fierce battle on their behalf at that point. Why not? Goldenthal To Ring Prospera's Bell Julie Taymor's next venture into the realm of Shakespeare has a composer. Once again she's tapped Elliot Goldenthal for her cross-gender journey into the world of The Tempest. The film, which takes the classic character Prospero and Review: X-Files: I Want To Believe Snow, whose presence is no surprise, has pretty much composed anything musically related to the series, whether television show or movie. While the story and characters have pretty much gone out with a fizzle in I Want To Believe, Snow and his score go out on a high note. SOUNDTRACK REVIEW - Prince Caspian Whole cinematic fantasy worlds can be made or broken with the music written for it. Harry Gregson-Williams set the tone for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe with a score filled with adventure and child-like wonderment, equal to the story it told.
