The spiderwick chronicles part 2

Some go comic to the core and stick with a score that channels the sense of the graphic comic turned tune, while others shove as many hit songs as possible into the soundtrack, even if only a few actually appear in the movie itself. These soundtracks become promotional vehicles for the summer blockbuster as much as the Happy Meals, candy bars and action figures that bear its visage. Green Lantern cuts somewhere in the middle. Theres only one song on the soundtrack to Green Lantern that I would actually expect to appear in this movie: thats the first song, Baby You Dont Wanna Know by Sum The soundtrack quickly remembers its comic book roots and brings the sounds of Sam Cooke, The Fleetwoods and 60s songs Lawdy Miss Clawdy and Barefootin performed by New Orleans band Joints Jumpin. Although the reviews for the movie have been mixed, I think most people who take a listen to the songs in the movie will find that they like them. Heres the complete list of all seven songs from Green Lantern, with links to the downloads for them and notes on the scenes they were in. Heres Elvis doing Lawdy Miss Clawdy, the song performed by Joints Jumpin at the party in the movie: June 19, 2011 Leave a Comment Taking Chances is not a very good movie. In fact, it should noteven make it on the back up extended list of your Instant Queue. I usually like movies most any movie. I also think Justin Long can be pretty damn funny, even if he has made some pretty bad films. Accepted is one of those movies that I will watch every time USA decides it is back to school enough to run on a loop for a week or two. Unfortunately Taking Chances would be on the bottom of the Long list of mediocre films. In fact, just about the only redeeming thing about Taking Chances is the soundtrack. There are13 songs in the movie, 11 of which are from the band Wyoming featuring singer Jacob Bercovici. I am very thankful to the producers of Taking Chances for introducing me to the music of Wyoming. The most recent Wyoming album, In the Wings, is about to go into heavy rotation. The music from Taking Chances reminds me of the soundtracksto Good Will Hunting and Up in the Air both great mixes of tunes. Wyoming sounds like a cross between Elliott Smith, Dan Auerbach and Sad Brad Smith. Good vocals, scratchy acoustic guitars and a hook that sticks in your craw. I was able to track down two Wyoming albums on Amazon, a Facebook page as well as a references to the albums on a good ole MySpace page, but not much else about Jacob or his band. Any fans of Wyoming out there? If so, please share. I downloaded the 16 songs from Wyoming that I could find, off the 2011 album In the Wings, which is closest to the sound of the songs from the movie, as well as the earlier album In Prison, which is still good, but not a different sound. If you are going to go with one of them, pick up In the Wings first. I had a really hard time trying to find downloads for the songs from the movie, so I m not going to be able to provide the customary links to the songs in the movie, or to identify the specific scenes the spiderwick chronicles part 2 were in. If you are able to track down any of these songs, please let me know. I ll be happy to share. Pol Pot s Theme John Gold, Sam Music and David Ralicke Here s the only video that I could find for the songs from Taking Chances. It s London by Noonday Underground: June 18, 2011 Leave a Comment The soundtrack to Cars 2 is a little bit like a mid-range compact car. Its pretty light on features there are only five songs in the movie but those features that the spiderwick chronicles part 2 been included complement each other well. There are two simple themes of the movie Cars 2 soundtrack: cars and international adventures. The best song on the Cars 2 album is Weezers cover version of the Cars classic You Might Think. Not that the original needed a fresh coat, but Weezers does a reasonable job of keeping it true to the original while still making it their own. Theres also a couple country tunes from Brad Paisley, including a duet with Robbie Williams, who boasts a Blondie styled Route 66 talking rap in the middle of the song. Collision of Worlds is a nod to the international focus of Cars 2, as is Benabars Mon Couer Fait Froom, which translates as My Heart Goes Vroom. Fitting. The first Cars movie was a lot of fun; the second one promises to be a good time as well.
