Lot's of golden amber still to hand out
as Im just getting started but before w/ get to the encased aluminium
here's the next nomination for The Blue Ribbon for Best Picture of
the week of O.
From 2009 Jaume Collet-Serra's Orphan
After losing their child @ birth Kate &
John look to adoption to add another mouth to their flock & think
they have found something exceptional in 9 year old Russian orphan
Esther. Things soon seem amiss to Kate but not to John as the two
are played against once another as Esther is much more then what
originally meets the eye as the casualties start to pile up. W/ what
just sorta seems like another bad seed film has a hell of a lot more
then you'd except.
Onto the 2nd serving of the
6 pack awards. Time to hand out this week's best score or soundtrack
– The Rolling Rock
And the nominees are..
The Outlaw Jose Whales
Jerry Fielding's score is a great slice
in time of the Confederacy. It sets an excellent stage for a true
American Western during war time that's not overtly war themed.
Clint Eastwood knows the genre well & complements his action w/ a
solid score making it a true key to a film that's one of his 3 most
complete outside of the spaghetti genre.
One Crazy Summer
A slice of 80s summer w/ a 60s throw
back One Crazy Summer's soundtrack is fun & light on demand often
like the film itself w/ the likes of David Lee Roth, ZZ Top, Twisted
Sister, Honeymoon Suite, Eurythmics, Steppenwolf & a shit pile of
Beach Boys.
Out of the Blue
Unfortunately I can't supply a complete
listing of artist on this film because there's none on the credits &
nothing really on line. There's some Elvis because Linda Manz
character is a Elvis fan, a touch of punk (nothing of any notable
bands I know) but it's Neil Young's bitter sweet ballad that gives
this film iridescence & sings pathos on it's own.
Once Trick Pony
Paul Simon supplies a superb
functioning soundtrack that is complemented by some of his
performances but always in character. This could have been a really
vanity project w/ for Simon as writer, star & music provider but
it's never commercial. The soundtrack carries it along for a band on
the road & an artist who's radio success is eluding him..&
then it kicks you in the boo-boo w/ a performance by The B-52s.
Orgazmo
I fucking love the theme to Orgazmo. I
think it's hilarious. It's sorta like Survivor's Eye of the Tiger of
the porn sect. Sandwiches a very funny film perfectly in it's
opening & closing credits. More super heroes should have theme
songs like this..gives be a boner..because Im a man!
The Omen
Jerry Goldsmith's theme to The Omen
scares the piss out of me. I believe he's onto something very evil
here & if Satan ever sends his offspring to this world he will
rightfully lift the score from this film to strike terror in those
who fall by his hand.
..And the winner is
One Trick Pony
I really like what Paul Simon did w/
his work on One Trick Pony. From the actual performance to just
montage his soundtrack is solid for it's rubicund tone. This is not
a hit friendly score from him but it's very listenable...maybe Im
getting softer in my years but I won't rightfully admit it.
Still plenty on tap & more to serve
to the worthy.
Be back after this..
