Apropos to the release of the fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, On Stranger Tides, comes this album of Pirates and Pirates-inspired music from Dominik Hauser, Hans Zimmer, Klaus Badelt, and George Bruns and Xavier Atencio.

I decided, in keeping with Cryptozoology Month, that a list should be made of the top cryptids from The X-Files. There are so many good “Monsters of the Week” throughout the series that I knew a pretty good list could be made.

Although I appreciate the other storylines they have developed, the one I’m most interested in is the evolution of Zoe and Tamara, who I’m sure will end up being very significant to the development of the Cylons of BSG. We didn’t see any of them this week.

This week’s episode, “Things We Lock Away,” is very details-heavy and reveals some information and a few events I feel will be key going forward. In the last episode we didn’t see any of Zoe and/or Tamara in New Cap City, and that is rectified this week, with the “meat” of the episode revolving around them.

Shifts within the STO (Soldiers of The One) organization, Daniel and Amanda Graystone’s trials and tribulations, events unfolding in the virtual world of New Cap City, and the story of the Adamas continue to intertwine to shape the future of the Twelve Colonies.

I’ve really enjoyed Caprica since it started, and most of the people I know (mostly BSG fans) are either neutral to it or don’t like it. I watched just about every episode from the first half of the season and was excited to have the new episodes begin to see where they are going to take this show.

Being both an orchestra and a Star Wars dork, I seriously had to see this. I happened to be at a computer right at noon the day the tickets went on sale, and managed to snag us front row! I was super excited and so was the boyfriend, who is a big SW fan but had never seen a live orchestra perform. I told him he was in for a treat!

This score has a light-hearted, comical character, which I perceive to nicely match the character of the movie. Though not my #1 favorite soundtrack of all time, the music was fun to listen to and well-composed. Though the movie itself received dubious reviews, the soundtrack is another good release from Lakeshore Records.

The soundtrack for the film The Kids Are All Right is just that: a soundtrack instead of a score. The artists vary greatly, from newer acts like MGMT to classics such as David Bowie and Joni Mitchell; this is an excellent mix of songs and I really enjoyed it.

I like a lot of world music and have listened to some African music before, and this is very similar. This was a really enjoyable album for me to listen to because of the uniqueness and character of the music.
