The Cimereon comes to you from the dark hills of his country, he seeks to ravage and be a conquerer! He goes up against James Earl Jones, He goes on a quest to defeat an enemy. The score is done by Basil Poledouris who is well known for scores like The Hunt for Red October, and Cherry 2000, and many others.. This score is full of epic fantasy themes, it gives us Fantasy in a way that we don't get now. I really like this score. It reminds me of Red Sonja as well. Anyway I don't have much more to talk about except that the real plot is basic revenge. A vengeful barbarian warrior sets off to avenge his tribe and his parents whom were slain by an evil sorcerer and his warriors when he was a boy. Here is the link to Amazon for Conan the Barbarian soundtrack Here is the ITunes link for Conan the Barbarian Would you like to hear some clips? I thought so.
This is the main theme.
Riddle of Steel/Riders of Doom
Recovery
The Kitchen/The Orgy
One of my favorites...The Anvil of Crom and Finally...
The complete Score! Well that's it this week guys. Hope you enjoyed it. Next Week Blade Runner! See ya then.
Jen (Stephen Garlick), raised by the noble race called the Mystics, has been told that he is the last survivor of his own race, the Gelflings. He sets out to try to find a shard of the dark crystal, a powerful gem that once provided balance to the universe. After the crystal was broken, the evil Skeksis used sinister means to gain control. Jen believes that he can repair the dark crystal and bring peace back to the world, if he can only find the remaining shard. Its an epic Fantasy with Jim Hensen's muppetry at its finest. It can be really creepy, but it never was meant to be kid friendly. Jim Hensen went for a dark feel to the movie and stayed with it til the very end, when you get the happy ending.
The score is done by Trevor Jones and its really a good score, great fantasy feel and very sweeping movements. I really enjoyed this score.
You can't get the soundtrack on ITunes but I'm sure you can find it from soundtrack.net. Anyway here are some clips I enjoyed from the film. I hope you like them as well.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is a movie about one man's quest for revenge. Kirk settled Khan and his crew from the Botany Bay ship on a planet some fifteen years before during the five year mission and Now Khan has escaped that hellish planet in which he meets Chekov and his Captain whom he puts under mind control. The score is done by James Horner and is fantastical, beautiful and sweeping. The music takes you on the journey, seeing the evil creatures that Khan uses to take over minds, to see the dead bodies on the science station and the ultimate return of the Enterprise. The most saddest moment in the film though is when Spock sacrifices himself for the good of the many. His quote "The good of the many outway the good of the few, or the one". This is one of my favorite scores! Its music continues to envoke a spirit of adventure in films that isn't there right now. I hope someday that people realize we need to inspire the imagination once again with movies or we lose all enjoyment out of the movie experience. I have the links to Amazon, the first is the Expanded Soundtrack.
E.T. The Extra Terrestrial is a film about an alien who is stranded on Earth after his kind accedentily left him behind. What moves forward is kids learning about him, having adventures and glowing fingers. The military get involved and everything gets dangerous for awhile but then in the end E.T.'s alien family come back for him. This movie was alright, but the soundtrack was amazing, once again John Williams blows us away with a story in music with the sweeping score that carries us through the film.
There is no link for ITunes but get it from Amazon and you also get a Autorip which is a digital download. Want some clips? You know I do! Here we go...
This is the suite to the film.
Main Titles

Finally The End Credits There were a lot of clips, there also were a lot of tracks to this soundtrack. Hope you enjoyed it! Next week Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan! See ya then.
The Road Warrior, some could say the Best Mad Max film of the trilogy. Also you could say a much better soundtrack than the first film. Once again Brian May steps up to bring this world of crazy cars, insane drivers and maniac villians to life! We once again find Max helping a small community with plenty of gas against a band of bandits. Thus the weird outfits and postapocalyptic clothes. The music soars higher than the first film and the action is more intense. I really like this soundtrack and have added it. Here is the Amazon link to the score!
