Jurassic Park BD packshot

Universal Studios have give us this fantastic exclusive featurette to coincide with the Blu-ray release of the greatest dinosaur movie ever made, Jurassic Park.

Listen to 21 Minutes of the Tron: Legacy Soundtrack

The Daft Punk soundtrack for Tron: Legacy is getting just as much hype as the film itself. I’m supposed to be going to see the movie this evening although the mountains of snow that has fallen and continues to fall is doing it’s best to stop me but I won’t let it stand in my [...]

The Karate Kid Blu-ray Review

karate kid blu

I enjoyed Harald Zwart’s remake of The Karate Kid far more than I expected to, and now it comes to Blu-ray and DVD I had to satisfy my curiosity as to my reaction: was it really as good as I thought, and if so was the set of extras good enough to make this worth [...]

Featurette: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 Soundtrack

Harry Potter Score Recording

I absolutely love movie scores. I must have around 30 or 40 different ones from different movies and I’m sure some of you out there will have many more than that.

The Karate Kid Review

Harald Zwart’s remake of The Karate Kid is exactly the film you expect, and nothing like the film you expect. It echoes the 1984 original endlessly, but expands it immeasurably – training montages take place on the Great Wall instead of a sour looking beachfront, the shopfronted Karate class is changed into a thousand strong [...]

Inception – Preview the Hans Zimmer Score Here

With the slew of cinematic disappointment so far in 2010 there are some who hold Christopher Nolan’s Inception as the last great hope for blockbusters with an original story to turn the tide of remakes and sequels. There has been a wave of marketing for this one and while a general picture is beginning to [...]

I’ve got a bit of a bee in my bonnet at the moment in that I can’t wait to see The Karate Kid remake, The A-Team movie and Jonah Hex. All 3 of them are out in the US within the next 7 days but we’re having to wait 6 weeks for the first two [...]

Avatar: The Movie Score – James Horner

Avatar James Horner Scoring

I’ve been doing a bit of research into the score (the orchestral music) in the new upcoming James Cameron movie, Avatar which stars Sam Worthington.
