Film scores are my jam. They help me concentrate when I’m working. Relax me when I’m just idly browsing the Internet. But of late I’ve not been able to find one that’s inspired me. In the past if I’ve enjoyed a film, it was fairly […]

Soundtrack Pick: Interstellar
Simply knowing that a Christopher Nolan film is being scored by Hans Zimmer is enough to get me a little excited. The Interstellar soundtrack is my new The Dark Knight Rises. It’s been playing on repeat since I saw the film. (Following my rule of […]

Soundtrack Pick: Gone Girl
Knowing that Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross are working on a film score is enough for me to want to listen to that score and see that film straight away. Hello Gone Girl! I have a self-imposed rule – I am not allowed to listen […]

It has taken me an awfully long time to finally sit down and watch Warrior. I’ve had it in my possession for months, but it felt like the the kind of film I needed to be 100% awake for and devote my full attention to. […]

Film score pick of the mo: Godzilla
Alexandre Desplat’s score for Godzilla is excellent. It’s loud, roar-y and everything it should be for the new Godzilla film. However, I couldn’t pick one of the album’s tracks as a favourite. Sure, The Power Plant is a stand out track. But my favourite film […]

Film Score Pick of the mo: The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Summer film blockbuster season is well and truly upon us. We’ve already had two comic book films thrust upon us. While I enjoyed, but wasn’t too fussed over Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 struck a bit more of an emotional chord, […]
