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

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


the president is gone...


Finally the whole soundtrack for your listening pleasure.

Well that is all this week, Next Week The Great Muppet Caper! See ya then!

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

Raiders of the Lost Ark

With a whip and a gun, Indiana Jones has captured our hearts and thrilled us with adventure. Raiders of the Lost Ark is just that. An adventure with Harrison Ford who embodies Indiana Jones perfectly. This is a story about the search for the Lost ark of the covenant. Indiana isn't the only one searching for it though. Along the way he encounters Nazi's who want to rule the world!  The score is really well arranged and gives us the classic themes we love about Indiana Jones. Steven Speilburg directed this gem of a movie and gives us more to look forward to. John Williams did the score for the film and captures our imagination.  Can you tell i love this score?

Here is the link to Amazon where you can buy the soundtrack.

Unfortunately you can't get the score through ITunes, they don't have the full soundtrack. Yet through Amazon you can get the digital download as well. Funny how that works.

Onto clips from the score...


This give us the main theme from Raiders.


Here is Flight from Peru...


Here is another Journey clip...


Here is the map room, showing us the way to the Ark.


Here is a Jazz version of Marion's theme. 

Finally the whole soundtrack...


Well that is all this week. 
Next week For Your Eyes Only. See ya then!

Superman II

Its a bird, no its a plane, no its Superman! Superman is back and is facing off against three villians from his past. General Zod, and his henchmen who are trying to take over the Earth. The soundtrack was done by Ken Thorne and roles reprised by Christopher Reeves, Margaret Kitter, Gene Hackman and a new addition Terrance Stamp. Yes it makes for a fun action packed film with Superman finally defeating his foes in the fortress of solitude...Away from people! Yes Superman doesn't involve other people in his battles. He doesn't want people to get hurt.

Here is the Amazon link for the vinyl record of the soundtrack.

Here is the Itunes link to the theme.

There isn't a full soundtrack that you can buy online, unfortunately.

Here are some clips from the score...


This was the preface, the villians and the theme...

Hope you like it! Next week Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Flash Gordon (1980)

Flash Gordon, only he can save us from Ming the Merciless! Yes its a movie about a football star, Flash Gordon played by Sam J Jones and he along with Doctor Hans Zarkov and Dale the beauty they embark on a journey of Adventure! The music of the whole soundtrack is actually composed by Queen. It was a great feat for them, doing a instrumental soundtrack and then weaving the theme throughout the movie. I enjoyed it and I'm sure you can too. 

Here is the Amazon link for the score and film music

Here is the Itunes link for the deluxe soundtrack by Queen
