Elfman September 8 2009 - Announcing movie-wave capsules After twelve years of doing this, I finally have a new feature to announce! movie-wave capsules will provide capsule reviews of scores that, for whatever reason, I don't provide full reviews of here. Titles will be added on a regular basis so be sure to check out the page often - five capsule reviews are available now! I'll also be offering occasional blogs and important bits of film music news when they arise. Yes, I'm finally catching up with where most websites were in 2004! Don't worry, I will still be offering full reviews of the most important releases here on the main page - expect batches of those to appear approximately monthly, as they have been throughout 2009 (but as regular visitors will know, my reviewing schedule is rarely predictable). I will mention any new capsule reviews as and when updates to this page happen, but would expect the capsules site to be updated more frequently. Please check it out! Visit movie-wave capsules now!

Barry The Emotion and the
Strength - Maurice Jarre March 30 2009 - Maurice Jarre 1924-2009 Some very sad news. The great Maurice Jarre, one of film music's legends, has passed away at the age of 84. The Frenchman wrote a large number of wonderful film scores throughout his career, penning some of cinema's great themes in the process, and will always be best-remembered as David Lean's composer-of-choice, writing one of the genuine candidates for the all-time greatest film score, Lawrence of Arabia, in the process. For all his work in a wide variety of genres, surely Jarre's greatest strength was in the gloriously undampened romantic spirit he brought to so many scores. As with all the great film composers, he didn't sound like anyone else - you couldn't play more than a couple of bars of his music before realising, usually with a warm smile, that it was his work. Rest in peace.
