    Disney+ Pam and Tommy, a well played weird ride

    So, having read The Dirt, I knew, sort of, the back story, but was surprised Disney of all studios would pick this up, and was further surprised at seeing the first two episodes, with more adult stuff than I think I'd ever seen in all Disney movies combined. Not just boobs in abundance, but a...

    RIP Jean-Jacques Beineix

    Perhaps not so well known outside France, or Europe, he was part of the 'cinema du look', with Besson and others. His debut, Diva, became a cult movie, and I remember it having midnight showings in Stockholm throughout the 80s. It is a superb cult 80s movie, with an astounding soundtrack. His...

    Spectre soundtrack, thoughts?

    Bought this unheard based on Skyfall, which I quite liked, and the fact that Thomas Newman is one of my favorites. It arrived today, and I am listening as I write (currently on track 7). First impressions; more Bond-like, and less Newman-like, than Skyfall,which may be a good thing, depending...

    Lord of the Rings symphony - finally released on CD

    I searched but found no mention of this, and thought perhaps it was worth its own thread, considering its greatness :). So, finally it is out on CD, a very nice 2CD, and although this is not actually Howard Shore himself conducting, it nevertheless sounds great, as everyone knows who has been to...
