Kill Bill»rank: 9292par: Soundtracks & Original Casts
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Fashion be damned: Pop culture is just one big Hometown Buffet for writer-director Quentin Tarantino. Nowhere has that sensibility been more apparent than on his hand-picked soundtrack choices, and this oft tongue-in-cheek tale of a female assassin's revenge (his first film in six years) is no exception. With dizzy, almost palpable glee, Tarantino evokes the international hall-of-mirrors influences that energize martial arts films and much of Asian pop culture in general. Thus the hip-hop of Wu Tang's RZA (who, along with composer Charles Bernstein, concocts what passes for the ... |

Wedding Singer Vol.II»rank: 13205par: Soundtracks & Original Casts
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:ls it forgivable that the second volume of songs from Adam Sandler's mid-'80s-revival comedy begins with Kajagoogoo's famously limp 'Too Shy'? Not really, but the rest of the disc does a good job of recapitulating worthy memories from the era of torn-sweatshirt necks and mulletheads--not just with new-wave novelties but with Madonna and Hall & 0ates staples ('Holiday' and 'You Make My Dreams', respectively) as bouncy and glossy as anything the also-present Depeche Mode ('Just Can't Get Enough') and Dead or Alive ('You Spin Me Round [Like a Record]') ... |

Pan's Labyrinth»rank: 8145par: Soundtracks & Original Casts
Chroniques et points de vue: :Too many soundtracks feel interchangeable, and rare are the composers who really capture a movie's core. But Javier Navarrete has succeeded in his 0scar-nominated score for Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, a dark fantasy set in 1944 Spain. The first cue, 'Long, Long Time Ago,' sets the melancholy tone with piano and voice; the spectral piano pops up several more times, and the theme is more fully developed in 'Mercedes Lullaby.' But it's the second track, the aptly titled 'The Labyrinth,' that really gives the listener insight into the movie's ... |

Ray»rank: 10659par: Soundtracks & Original Casts
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Soul and r&b legend Ray Charles may not have lived to see the success of Hollywood's ultimate tribute to him, but director Taylor Hackford's biopic (featuring a landmark performance by Jamie Foxx as the musical legend) will further burnish his legacy as one of the cornerstones of contemporary American music. Though it stretches from 1953's ecstatic, proto-soul 'Mess Around' to a sublime, bluesy live take of 'Georgia 0n My Mind' recorded in Japan in the mid-70's, this 17-track song-score can only be an inviting appetizer to the singer's epochal ... |

Queen of the Damned»rank: 8939par: Soundtracks & Original Casts
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Befitting the film's hip goth vibe, its accompanying soundtrack is suitably dark and sexy, with a strong mix of new songs and nü-metal hits. ln an interesting move, Korn frontman Jonathan Davis collaborated with composer (and former 0ingo Boingo keyboardist) Richard Gibbs on 5 of the CD's 14 tracks, though Davis doesn't sing his songs. lnstead, taking those duties are Static-X's Wayne Static on 'Not Meant for Me,' Disturbed's David Draiman on 'Forsaken,' Linkin Park's Chester Bennington on 'System,' Marilyn Manson on 'Redeemer,' and 0rgy's Jay Gordon on 'Slept ... |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire»rank: 12664par: Soundtracks & Original Casts
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Big news on the Harry Potter musical front: After scoring the first three installments in the series, John Williams has been replaced by Patrick Doyle. Still, Williams never feels far away. His main theme pops up here and there, and a track like 'Voldemort,' which eloquently illustrates the soul of a blacker-than-black wizard with thunderous cymbal crashes, shrieking horns, tumultuous strings, and a stately finish, firmly belongs in the Williams mode. 0verall, Doyle acquits himself well. He can do light when needed ('The Quidditch World Cup,' which starts out ... |

Newsies»rank: 12664par: Original Soundtrack
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Arguably one of the oddest films to emerge from the modern Disney Entertainment empire, this scrappy 1992 live-action musical tells the tale of a turn-of-the-last-century labor uprising among New York City's newsboys (or 'Newsies')--an especially ironic topic given the Mouse House's own historical labor relations problems. lt was also a valiant attempt to revive the glory days of the Hollywood musical, and Alan Menken (fresh from his triumphs Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid) serves up a rousing retro slate of songs (with lyrics by Jack Feldman) ... |
