I was with my friend Darren Cavanagh when he interviewed Broughton back in the 90s (we usually co-interviewed but I didn't know too much about Broughton's body of work, so I let Darren handle this one!). Unfortunately, having no tape of the interview, I can only go by memory, but as I recall Brought...

Thanks! That's the actual Imprint release?

Is it possible to order the Bounty release from someone other than Imprint -- i.e. someplace that isn't charging $30 shipping?

Entertainment Tonight's Youtube channel recently uploaded this 1989 interview with John Williams, where discusses his work on the film...

FAMILY PLOT is a cut above those, mainly because of Williams' score and the cast (Barbara Harris especially), but I don't think it's "great" by any means and has a lot of the same "fatigue" issues. I think once we're past the convoluted "info dump" (that takes-up most ...

The Hollywood Reporter's "senior editor for diversity and inclusion" has elevated navel-gazing to a science...

He noted in an interview he didn't love the score and expected the movie to be different and more like the first movie -- and he was right. It needed more of a lightness of touch, something a little more sprightly and romantic. Instead he recycled sections of the first score but they're not well ap...

The Sound of Freedom (7.5/10) A polarizing film, hailed by some as an important exposé of the most heinous criminal industry of all -- yet pilloried by others as right wing propaganda. Child trafficking is among the lowest, most venal acts imaginable, so I don't understand why a film which spotligh...

Going back to your original post tho, I've since seen Harriet , and have to admit that Blanchard's score did not serve the dramatic interests of the film very well, and was its weakest link. However, Gleiberman's description of the score as "Jerry Goldsmith-meets-Aaron-Copland" was way-off...

The Gauntlet (7.5/10) Not one of Clint Eastwood's best, but a solid thriller with some satisfying action. I was never a fan of Sandra Locke, but she was Eastwood's muse for a long time and you kind of have to take her along if you want to enjoy any of Clint's work from the mid 70 to the 80s. The pa...

I don't remember anything about the score. Was it really even worse than Where The River Runs Black?

I wish you have the guts to admit your backlash is because of the gay characters. When you say "It's not the presence of gay characters that annoys people," it absolutely is. Basically you are saying, "I am ok with gay characters unless someone say something about them. Keep their im...

Is this going to get a Blu-ray release?

Or is Netflix going to prevent one so we have to pay $22 a month to watch it?

I am all for women directors (Sofia Coppola has done great work), I'm all for non-white directors (Antoine Fuqua is awesome), and in fact I consider Akira Kurosawa the greatest director of all time. But -- again -- this is Lucasfilm hiring a director with negligible experience in "high concept&...
