nd well... it is so far just ID4 II... nothing else. Still don't know what to think of this... The second they announced this movie and that it was set in the present day, that's all I could think of: what's the point, especially when we've already done the alien invasion deal not that long ago wit...

Just caught a glimpse of the ad list for tomorrow's Super Bowl. Around here, all folks are caring about is the game (huge, lifelong Patriots fan here!), but I was excited to see the WAR OF THE WORLDS trailer is going to be shown -- USA Today ran a still from the trailer showing a car being blown up ...

I have a rare audio tape interview that was sold at Waldenbooks back in '84 with Lynch and Herbert being interviewed simultaneously. The first 20 minutes, they talk about making DUNE, how Lynch was already working on DUNE II, and how wonderful the movie was (the rest of the 45-minute tape is Herbert...

Wow, an AMERICAN release of this?? That's pretty exciting. I would wait to confirm whether or not the TV version will be in 2.35 Widescreen, however -- that is very strange, considering that the movie was formatted for TV to begin with. I have to admit, though, this sounds like a really good release...

I like all of Williams' original Trilogy scores, though I have a fondness for STAR WARS and particularly EMPIRE as well. (BTW, what is it about Williams that his "second installment" scores are just so damn good? TEMPLE OF DOOM is an awesome work, and JAWS 2 is one of my all-time favorites...

I'll be interested if the 2.35 framing is legitimate and not just the TV version hacked off on the top and bottom. VERY interesting news Roman -- I didn't think the TV version was available in widescreen since it was produced for TV in the first place. Obviously, if this pans out, we'll have to work...

Robert Folk's CANT BUY ME LOVE is one of the greatest scores of the 1980s (ok, for me anyway, on a guilty pleasure level).

I'm a big Folk fan. Ever hear IN THE ARMY NOW? One of the best scores ever written for a horribly bad film (and a super Intrada album).

Well Roman, I could make the argument that EVERYONE was miscast in HOLLOW MAN (Kevin Bacon? Josh Brolin?), which was another step downwards in the career path of Paul "Mr. Crazy" Verhoeven.

I will, however, check out PALMETTO...immediately!

Ed, I stand corrected -- you're right, Susan Sarandon won that year (though I still think Elisabeth should have copped the Oscar, dammit!). I'm glad to see she pursued family and finished her degree -- and that she's back on screen. Hopefully what everyone has said is a minor, blah kind of role in t...

Roman -- with all due respect and I admit I haven't seen the film -- how can LEMONY SNICKET possibly be one of the "worst scores of the year"? I've heard the album and it's a typical Newman score. It sounds like Newman, it works like Newman, it IS Thomas Newman -- one can easily identify i...

Welcome aboard from Down Under, Torrance!

Doesn't that hideous AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS count as a remake basically? I think that movie was bad enough to put the kibosh on any other installments. I can't see these remakes working, especially if not if the core elements that made them appealing in the first place -- like the original filmm...

This seems like utter B.S. to me, but as I've received a few emails about this and caught wind of it online, I thought I'd put down some info for everybody. Basically, someone has decided to sue MGM over DVDs they allege have incorrect or mislabeled aspect ratios. ----------- According to the Hollyw...

OK I firmly admit I had a crush on Elisabeth Shue growing up (and who wouldn't after watching ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING as a teenager?). I'm not sure where she's been in the last 5 years since HOLLOW MAN came out, but she's in this apparently-horrid new Robert DeNiro (who makes one of these turkeys ...

I agree THE VILLAGE is the best score out of that group. I liked THE PASSION but it's not in a league with the other scores. FINDING NEVERLAND was quite nice, however, and something tells me if Miramax was able to hype the movie into a slew of nominations in major categories across the board, it'll ...
