Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

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.

E.T. The Extra Terrestrial

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.  

Here is the Amazon link for E.T.

There is no link for ITunes but get it from Amazon and you also get a Autorip which is a digital download.

The Road Warrior

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!

Here is the ITunes link to the score.

Would you like to hear some clips from the film?

The Great Muppet Caper

The Skies are high, the muppets are many and there is a jewel heist in progress. Kermit, Gonzo and Fozzie embark on yet one more crazy adventure where they work for a newspaper and are trying to get a story on a Jewel Heist that happened. They come across Miss Piggy who works for the woman who had her jewels stolen. Hillarity and fun make the movie watchable. The soundtrack is great for Muppets sing many of the songs. All in all the movie is great for its mastery of puppetry and fun. Jim Hensen had done it again when he was alive.

Here is the Amazon Link to the soundtrack

There is no ITunes link to this film sorry.

Here are some great clips though.


Here was Happiness Hotel

Another Clip from the Movie soundtrack is The First Time It Happened...



Well that is all the clips this week everyone. Hope you all enjoyed my breif review
Next Week The Road Warrior. See ya then.

Escape From New York

The Name is Snake, Snake Pliskin. Yes Kurt Russel rescueing the President and his daughter from New York City in a Postapocalyptic Future of 1997. Wow that was awhile ago. This movie came out in 1981 and still is considered a great film even for its lower quality. The music for the film is done by John Carpenter. The themes are very synth oriented, and it continues with the sequel many years later. I find it very entertaining and the music has a certain place. Also little facts help us all. Snake Pliskin was the model for Solid Snake in the game Metal Gear Solid. I thought that was a cool fact.

Here is the Amazon link for the soundtrack.

Here is the ITunes link for the film music

One of my passions is being able to share the links for music clips with all my followers. I hope you can enjoy the clips I share...

First we get the theme..



Here is my next clip for you...





Engolfed Cathedral

Finally the whole soundtrack for your listening pleasure.

Clash of the Titans

Last week I mentioned to share Time Bandits. There is no soundtrack available for that movie. Sorry. This week we have the Original Clash of the Titans. Epic Fantasy with Greek Mythology shared with the public. Ray Harryhousen shared in its vision with his unique style of animation as well. Its about Perseus who gets washed up on a shore with his mother and is raised on an island away from the Dangers of the world. He goes on an epic quest to destroy the Krakken and save his beloved Andromeda. Monsters, Mayhem, and Fantastic visions that we don't see today. The score is done by Laurence Rosenthal, he sets a very fantasy tone to the film and gives us excitement and danger while giving us love themes and darkness in with it.

Here is the Amazon link to the Soundtrack

There isn't a link to the soundtrack on ITunes, only the theme and it isn't by Laurence Rosenthal. You will find the remake soundtrack on there though. That is for a later time though. 

I would like to share some clips with you from the film...


Here is the theme to the film.


The Lovers theme


River Styx


The Farewell.

Finally
