Music
Music by Movie Association
I’ve been wanting to write a post like this for a while, so I’m happy to finally be getting to it. I didn’t realize how much of the music I actually listen to today is from film. It’s not just my ever growing collection of film scores that invade my iPod. I’ve been listening to some […]
Week of Favorites: Composers
In the past few years, I’ve really taken to collecting film scores when I can afford it. It’s amazing to think that I had an even MORE difficult time compiling a favorites list of film composers than I did for actors or actresses. When it comes down to it–and I hope if you haven’t read […]
Love Week: Singing Bits I Love in Film
With only a few hours left in the day, I’m struggling to get a second post out during my “Love Week” here at All Eyes on Screen. Multiple things have kept me MIA from AEOS lately, so I’m going with the thought, better late than never, right? So yesterday, I posted about my 10 favorite […]
Happy 80th Birthday, John Williams!
Today marks John Williams’s 80th birthday. And what better way to celebrate it, than with two Oscar nominations for War Horse and The Adventures of Tintin. No one needs to point out that John Williams is a legend. Say his name, and everyone around you–most likely, even the younger generations–are going to have at least […]
Backstage Spotlight: Dan in Real Life Bonus Features (2007)
Bonus features, special features, extras–whatever you want to call them–are usually on most movies you end up renting or owning. I find them particularly fun to watch, if I have the time. What’s crazy is that I’ve seen Dan in Real Life a handful of times over the past 4 years, yet I never took the […]
AEOS Review: Cameron Crowe and his Elizabethtown (2005)
This post, I’m focusing on director Cameron Crowe, and in particular, his film Elizabethtown, the mediocre-reviewed film considered a flop on the director’s resume. Similar to the reviews Elizabethtown received, the movie reflects the low points a person must go through in order to learn about a little thing called life. To start this post off, here’s a […]
Recast Edition: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (2008)
Eventually I’ll get around to reviewing Dr. Horrible, but until then, I wanted to do a special “recast edition” post on the web movie. “Recast Edition” is a type of post where I think of various actors that could potentially fill lead roles in a movie. Penny Penny is played by the pitch-perfect Felicia Day, […]
Backstage Spotlight: 2011 Film Scores
To my own surprise, I didn’t find Oscar winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo score as interesting as their award-winning score that accompanied 2010′s The Social Network. I felt let down by the second installment of Sherlock Holmes in part due to Hans Zimmer’s lacking, all-over-the-place score. I was especially underwhelmed […]
I Would Like to Thank the Trailer Makers
. . . for the awesome music that they put in trailers. As of late, I’ve made some new introductions with bands, thanks to some great music selections put in trailers. “Everything in Its Right Place” by Radiohead in the Anonymous trailer Radiohead is clearly capable of making some great music, and the movie trailer business had […]
Muse in Movie Trailers
The past couple years I have paid more attention to movie trailer music. I think it’s amazing how well song choices are picked for certain trailers. Plus, I always enjoy getting introduced to new bands or songs I didn’t know beforehand. Recently, I’ve been noticing that the band Muse continues to have their songs in […]
