The X-Men: First Class theme that I posted on my other post is so badass, I was listening to it again this morning. The composer for the film (Henry Jackman) is mentored by Hans Zimmer
Anyway I think I'm going to give The Town a watch today, unless I find something better to watch whilst I work through my watchlist on IMDB
Anyway I just watched The Town. A really good film, Ben Affleck doesn't disappoint when he's directing, I was a big fan of Gone Baby Gone when it came out as well. The cast was top notch. I watched the extended cut and it definitely didn't feel like 2 and a half hours, really enjoyed it.
That on the scale of film score epicability (0-Ennio Morricone), X-men FC ranks at 5.LOTR, over 2 arbitrary units behind awesome.
Yeah great. If you could read you would find that I said the soundtrack was "pretty good" and that I found that particular theme that I posted "badass" and "awesome". And you're reading way too much into the fact that I used the word "awesome", which if you look at my last 5/6 posts on this thread, you'd find that it's a word I use to describe pretty much anything I like. Now stop being a pretentious douchebag.
The opinion, "white noise is more pleasurable to listen to than Beethoven" shows us that some opinions can be objectively dismissed as incorrect.
Have you heard of "Different strokes for different folks"? I have a feeling you've not, you can still admire a soundtrack grounded in a different genre of music than one created using an orchestra. Please, shrink your head and take this ruler.
Captain America was a fairly enjoyable film but not the strongest superhero entry this year. It was definitely better than Green Lantern but I think First Class and Thor edge this one out, quite considerably. A lot of the action scenes felt lacking and there wasn't a lot of emphasis on the abilities and limits of the Captain than there really could have been. The plot and the villain was a letdown. The 1940s era was refreshing in a superhero film. Oh and a solid performance by Chris Evans.
I really liked the ending. Could have been a little more poignant though. It did get me excited to see how the Captain would fit into the Avengers…
Going to see the new Studio Ghiblio film, Arriety, tomorrow. It will actually be the first time I've been to the cinema this year.
Me too, I'm really excited! I grew up reading The Borrowers books, so I'm interested to see their interpretation of it. None of the cinemas near me show the subtitled version though, just the dubbed. I've found that dubbed voiceovers are always rubbish, the voices they use never match the characters as well as the original voices did (in terms of pitch, tone, etc). Ah well.

I wish they would subtitle them for cinema release because then they could probably release them quicker.
