Hope you are ready for a longish post. lol
1) Soundtracks:
-
Star Trek 2, Wrath of Khan: A few tracks that are a little slow for my liking, but the rest of them were mostly 'confrontation' tracks. They built up the tension and were like a musical masterpiece, with the way they ran. "Surprise Attack", "Battle in the Mutara Nebula" and "Genesis Countdown" all make me relive the movie in my head.
-
Tron Legacy: I was a little worried when I heard Daft Punk were doing the score. Yeah I like their tracks, but I wondered how they would tackle Tron. Upon hearing the Overture I didn't need to worry. I think they nailed it, "Recognizer" being a wonderful track as you imagine yourself flying over The Grid, "Rinzler" building up the tension as Sam Flynn realises this is for real, heck I could go on.
-
The Dark Knight Rises: Yes the third one, because I feel it brought together the themes that Hans Zimmer had created for the Nolan-Gothamverse and made them 'feel' the most. "Rise" is hauntingly beautiful and I believe is the basis for "Aurora", a track that Zimmer composed in tribute to the victims of the Aurora Theatre shooting in Colorado. I would recommend everyone to go listen to "Aurora" on YouTube and just reflect.
-
Christine (John Carpenter score): It had a great beat at points, more , but it also had a recurring theme that I just loved to listen to. You listen to "Moochie's Death" and you'll hear the theme I'm talking about. It's always going as if Christine is after you!
-
Terminator 2: This is where Brad Fiedel built upon what he did for the first film and made it way better. The Terminator theme was more polished, and "It's Over/Goodbye" practically has me in tears when I'm imagining the Terminator shutting down after he is lowered into the molton steel. "Trust Me" is a track where I feel I can do anything. It plays when Arnie is raining merry hell on the cops with the 'damn minigun' and is just dishing it all out. Fiedel remastered the score for the T2 3D re-release which I believe I read somewhere that it was truly how he wanted it to sound.
2) Movies Total:
I think I'm between 200-300. I have a metal tin boxset that contains two MINT copies of the first two Terminator films on VHS! It's practically the first steelbook!
