New Line Cinema held a Los Angeles Special Screening of FINAL DESTINATION 5 on August 10th at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Just like all the FINAL DESTINATION movies you realize that no matter where you run, no matter where you hide…you can’t cheat death. Or the big question…can you? This is the fifth installment of the FINAL DESTINATION movies, and the stars from the film walked the “black” carpet on this special night, which included: Nicholas D’Agosto, Emma Bell, Miles Fisher, Arlen Escarpeta, Jacqueline MacInnes-Wood, Ellen Wroe, P.J. Byrne, Courtney B. Vance, Tony Todd, David Koechner, Steven Quale (Director), Craig […]Read On »

CD review: WAYS TO LIVE FOREVER soundtrack

WAYS TO LIVE FOREVER soundtrack | ©2011 Movie Score Media

A very inquisitive eleven year-old with leukemia decides to go through his bucket list, a journey of discovery that proves to be musically enervating in the hands of Cesar Benito with the WAYS TO LIVE FOREVER  soundtrack. With styles that are understandably all over the place as his imagination runs wild, Benito enthusiastically conveys a thirst for rhythmic life instead of wallowing in the maudlin. Eccentric percussion, perky horn comedy and a gentle piano solos all contribute to a welcome sense of whimsy that doesn’t neglect the inevitable. And while the big symphonic moments arrive with Kleenex-grabbing flourish, much of […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: Ruben Fleischer on 30 MINUTES OR LESS, ZOMBIELAND 2 and THE GANGSTER SQUAD

Director Ruben Fleischer may have come from the music video and commercials world, but his directorial debut ZOMBIELAND proved he could handle great storytelling, absurd humor on top of some highly stylized visual filmmaking techniques. With the critical and commercial success of ZOMBIELAND, Fleischer was looking for something a little more low-key for his follow-up which he discovered with the comedy 30 MINUTES OR LESS. The story follows a pizza delivery guy (ZOMBIELAND star Jesse Eisenberg) who has a bomb strapped to his body by a couple of thugs who give him a short window to rob a bank or […]Read On »

The new episode pays off the Season 4 cliffhanger where Sam (Jennette McCurdy) realized she had feelings for her object of hate Freddie […]Read On »

CD Review: BREAKDOWN soundtrack (3,000 limited edition)

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER
BREAKDOWN soundtrack | ©2011 La La Land Records

It’s not as if I could talk from the experience of being a film composer, let alone the skill to put two notes together in harmony. But from what I’ve witnessed, the job can be either one of the most elating, or soul-draining gigs on the creative planet. You either run in synch with the filmmaker as you give voice to their vision, or collide head-on when you don’t hear eye-to-eye. The latter’s a bumpy road that Hollywood euphemistically calls “artistic differences” – i.e. not giving a director (who can more often than not be a blistering tyrant) exactly what […]Read On »

CD Review: SUPER 8 original soundtrack

Lots of monstrous bellowing accompanies SUPER 8, a film that sports what’s likely the most eagerly awaited Giacchino soundtrack to hit this month, especially for score fans who share the obvious movie geek love that J.J. Abrams’ put into his scary valentine to all 1970’s / 80’s things Spielberg and Amblin. Accompanying all of that director’s own production’s was the lushly adventurous music of John Williams, classic scores that could at once conjure a child’s wide-eyed wonderment towards the fantastic, then freak the bejesus out of them in the next. It’s a similar balancing act that Giacchino does here for […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: TEEN WOLF director/producer Russell Mulcahy talks finale and hints at Season 2

MTV’s TEEN WOLF has proved itself to be much more than what one might expect of a TV series about a teenaged werewolf. The show is not only sharp and full of adolescent comedy and angst, but also suspenseful, atmospheric and sometimes genuinely scary. These qualities are largely due to the efforts of writer/executive producer Jeff Davis and his fellow executive producer, director Russell Mulcahy. Mulcahy, an Australian native who got his start in directing on music videos before having a massive feature film hit with the original 1986 HIGHLANDER, helmed half of this season’s TEEN WOLF episodes. At a party thrown by […]Read On »

It’s hard to blame writer Zak Penn for this – there’s a moment where we realize that the story can go down one of two paths, and he naturally picks the more interesting […]Read On »
