Beautiful Lie I highly recommend the extended cut of Batman v Superman on HBO Max. A full 30 minutes has been added to the film which develops the characters and storyline much better. It’s essentially “The Snyder Cut” of the film. Beautiful Lie is the […]

The Theory of Everything The Theory of Everything (2014) is a  biographical romantic drama film set at the University of Cambridge. It details the life of the theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking. The exquisite music, by the late Johann Johannsson, won the Golden Globe for best […]

The Last of the Mohicans While the film and soundtrack are timeless — the music production was fairly chaotic for The Last of the Mohicans. Director Michael Mann had initially requested that Trevor Jones (composer) provide an electronic score for the film. That surprises me […]

The Ludlows Legends of the Fall (1994) is a sweeping epic that chronicles the lives of the Ludlow family in early 20th century Montana. Colonel William Ludlow, a disillusioned former U.S. Army officer, has retreated to the wilderness with his three sons: Alfred, the responsible […]

Unsolved Mysteries Unsolved Mysteries is a mystery documentary television show — documenting cold cases and paranormal phenomena. The series has been revamped on Netflix and it’s enthralling. The first episode, Mystery on the Rooftop is totally bizarre. There’s 6 episodes in total. Each one is […]

No Time for Caution This music is from one of the more intense scenes of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar — as they attempt a perilous docking maneuver that is incredibly intricate and fraught with danger. The Endurance and Endurance B (piloted by Cooper and Dr. Brand) […]

On the Nature of Daylight Post-minimalism — or neo-classical, depending on who you ask — is a genre of contemporary music that sits somewhere between classical and electronic. It’s slower, more emotive, and deliberately cinematic. The composers who’ve mastered it have found a natural home […]

Batman Begins Eptesicus is a prominent piece in both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. This has always been one of my favorite pieces of music, and it’s usually centered around Bruce Wayne’s love interest, Rachel Dawes. I’ve been re-watching Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. All […]

Interstellar This must be Hans Zimmer’s greatest complete score. While The Dark Knight, and Gladiator have their selections — the entire score of Interstellar is wondrous and immensely listenable. The central theme of Interstellar has a few iterations within the soundtrack. My fingerstyle version is […]

Casino Royale To me, Casino Royale and You Know My Name are the best Bond film and theme song combo. Daniel Craig’s 2006 debut — coupled with the rock muscularity of Chris Cornell was pitch perfect. While the Quantum of Solace has grown on me […]
