I have yet to see the movie “Hanna” but I’ve listened to its soundtrack extensively.

Composer Bill Elm has created an Old Western sound that is pleasing to my ears for the soundtrack to the video game Red Dead Redemption which is the sequel to Red Dead Revolver. I hope you enjoy the vibe as much as I do:
Nice song from the Minority Report soundtrack. A New Beginning was composed by John Williams. It certainly speaks to the fresh start that I am sure every one of us longs for every once in a while.

Alexandre Desplat’s music to the movie “Birth” is as one youtube commenter correctly termed it: mesmerizing.
This is one of my favorite movie endings of all time. In Sunshine, Cillian Murphy saves the world with a nice ambient soundtrack.
For this cool gray Sunday (well, here at least) some music to heat you up from the latest addition to the Cities of Love franchise “New York, I Love You”:
This past Friday the 6th of August was the 45th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by American forces. And it seems that we as a nation are unwilling to examine the ethical ramifications of this act.
The soundtrack of Alfonso Cuaron’s dystopian masterpiece Children of Men uses a haunting composition by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki called Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima.
In 1964, Penderecki wrote, “Let the Threnody express my firm belief that the sacrifice of Hiroshima will never be forgotten and lost.”
Gattaca is an awesome movie. It was released in 1997 and thirteen years later I still count it as one of my favorities. My favorite from the soundtrack composed by Michael Nyman is “Irene’s Theme” which can be heard in the background as Vincent/Jerome and Irene flee his brother Anton. The beautiful piece fits Irene’s difficult acceptance of the truth perfectly.
The first time I saw AI:Artificial Intelligence was with some friends on the 30th floor of our college dorm, PFT at Western. I didn’t fully appreciate the movie (and by that I mean shed some tears) until the second time I saw it. It is a beautiful retelling of Pinnochio while also attempting to imagine a world dealing with everything from the specter of climate change and the difficult birth of humanity’s children to the search for recognition of dignity and love.
Yeah, yeah, I know this once and for all singles me out for the sci-fi and (soundtrack music) nerd I am…but I’ve listened to this video on YouTube and it makes me wish that Battlestar Galactica was still on TV. Man, I miss that show!
