IMHO the greatest living soundtrack composer will play the Hollywood Bowl on the 25th. He does not get to the US very often, not to mention the Bowl so if your in LA and have the time get your wine chilled and show up for an eveing that will not disappoint. The entire evening will be dedicated to his soundtrack compositions.  |  IP: Logged Todd McCracken Master Film Handler Posts: 263 From: Northridge, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 09-18-2009 12:27 PM                    If anyone is interested in the pre-sale its currently online, password for the pre-sale is KCET  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-18-2009 09:16 PM                        With all due respect to Mr. Morricone, who unquestionably has written some of the best movie scores ever, he also wrote one of the all-time worst, for Brian DePalma's 2000 stinkfest Mission to Mars. The music was so badly out of place in some scenes that it made me laugh out loud. Possibly the most memorably inappropriate music in any movie I can recall.  |  IP: Logged Todd McCracken Master Film Handler Posts: 263 From: Northridge, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 09-21-2009 10:17 AM                    Well, with more than 500 scores under his belt I would say one really bad one would be expected. My favorite bad score is in my favorite bad movie, Star Crash.

Who needs to spend money on an orchestra when you can do it all with a single plucked double-bass and a horn or two? But most of his lesser stuff is still good. I like RED SONJA, mickey-mouse as it is, for some pretty moments. Dunno if you've seen either of Morricone's "in concert" DVDs, but they're quite nice.  |  IP: Logged
