Hellboy II (The Golden Army)

Advantages: it's collectable and great for all lovers of music and movies
Disadvantages: the album cover

...just throw in a random Hellboy punching the floor picture holding his Samaritan gun, and then placing the Hellboy logo at the bottom.That to me says yeah he/she sort of tried but, could not spread his/her wings cause he/she was limited to that crappy album cover.I gotta admit I could not do any better but, it should have been Hellboy with his full horns and flames wrapped around him.Or him holding a cat with the whole Hellboy team standing behind ...
...make you jump with the great force that Elfman's music has.On most songs the stringed instruments really seem to hit you in the face with there amazing sound. Overall the CD is a great success and any Hellboy fan or lovers of classic and theatre music should enjoy this masterpiece. ...

Review of Hellboy II (The Golden Army) - Various Artists

Follows Me At All Times & Flies When I Pursue It

Advantages: Highly Addictive - Makes You Want To Time Travel
Disadvantages: Highly Addictive - People May Think You Have Joined A Cult

...actual piece of writing by Elizabeth I herself!) Admittedly, you do have to be in a certain mood for this kind of music, and the less open-minded of us may be inclined to shun you in fear of you being some sort of religious nut. That is the slight downside - if there could be one - that the Medeival Baebes inevitably sound somewhat like a Church Choir albeit one transported from a renaissance faire and high off LSD. Yet, I am an out and out non-beleiver ...
...this style of music. I suggest you play it loud and proud out of car windows, or in the garden whilst barbequeing - though not if you wish to keep your neighbours ;-) Enough describing it you can't read anything to do it justice anyway- go and listen! And while you do look out for tracks such as Miseri Nomine, Essex and A Legacy Of Comfort (Just hear those violins...heaven!) Oh, and by the way, the drama itself is pretty damn good too... But that's ...

Last of the Mohicans

Advantages: Trevor Jones
Disadvantages: Randy Edelman

...the 1936 screenplay adaptation, The Last of the Mohicans was a powerhouse movie, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the frontier scout Hawk-eye, a white man raised amongst the Delaware Indians. With the help of his Mohican friends Chingachgook and Uncas he now helps the two daughters of a military commander to their father in the middle of warfare with the French and their recruited Indian allies the Hurons, headed by the wicked Magua. Directed by Michael ...
...empty dialogue stretches. The Last of the Mohicans is one of those strange occurrances when a composer has been replaced by another in mid-production. Trevor Jones was originally hired for the job for which he wrote his arguably best known theme. After completing a lion's share of the work he was suddenly replaced by Randy Edelman whose more lightweight music provided a completely different feel to the more orchestral Jones part. I'm not exactly ...

Review of Last Of The Mohicans, The (Original Score) - Original Score

Barry Manilow's Copacabana

Advantages: Brings back the memories of the show, great if you havn't
Disadvantages: n/a

Barry Manilow's Copacabana was welcomed with great enthusiasm when it hit the West End as a Musical. I was lucky enough to see this musical and it has gone down with me as one of the best I have ever seen, and I have seen a few. You may wonder how a song like Copacabana could be made into a musical, but with over 2 and a half hours of great music, Copacabana was just the tip of the Iceberg. The music in this show was full of energy, humour, some ...
...lyrics . The Copacabana Story Stephen (Gary Wilmot) is writing a song, it is about a showgirl based in the Copa, a nightclub from 45 years ago just after World War II, as he decides on her name "Lola" we are taken back to the year 1947 where a girl named "Lola" from Oklahoma arrives by train at Grand Central Station. Standing with her suitcases, many other girls start to join her from other trains ...

Review of Copacabana - Original London Cast

Outstanding Soundtrack

Advantages: Keeps the mood of the film
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

This album is every bit as amazing as the film itself. It doesn't matter what music genre you're into, this soundtrack will appeal to you. The thing I love about this album is that every song on it, you can remember hearing it in the film. Let's be honest. There is nothing more annoying than buying a soundtrack to find that the songs you like aren't on it. Or worse, it has songs you didn't even hear in the film. Well don't worry about this one. ...
...group, Leftfield. It also happens to be the first song of the film. There are two songs in the compilation which I feel helped create the ambience of the entire movie. These being 'Pure Shores' by All Saints and 'Porcelain' by Moby. I don't think you can listen to these songs without immediately thinking of The Beach as they fit in so well with the whole setting. One track in particular, for me anyway, really gives you the feeling of being on the ...
