The Darkest Hour is not a bad soundtrack, and I’m sure it is highly effective within the context of the movie. As a musical work by itself, however, it’s not different enough from many of the other action movie soundtracks out there to warrant a closer look.

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is set mostly in Constantinople, and the songs reflect that, as they have a Turkish/Middle Eastern vibe to them. Overall, if you enjoy the Assassin’s Creed games, then you will enjoy this soundtrack.

While it sometimes seems like Williams phoned this one in, I’m sure that once I have the chance to see the film in theaters later this week, I’ll be able to remember every song I’ve listened to, and afterwards, when I listen to them I will be able to picture every scene in my head.

No matter what decade owned your youth, it’s the best. So that leads me to a time machine in the form of a soundtrack for I Melt With You, the story of a group of friends in the midst of their 40s coming together for what they think is their regular yearly visit, when things take a turn.

I could never tell you what Hugo was about based on the bus ads. Does he live in a clock? Is he some sort of hunchback? No and no. He’s an orphan who lives in a train station dead set on finding out what happened to his late father. But even if Wikipedia wasn’t a mainstay in my life, the soundtrack would’ve been a helpful tool to figure Hugo out.

One can only wonder if the likes of Bach and Handel would have been Twilight fans, but as far as Music From the Twilight Saga for Chamber Orchestra goes, it’s well put together music that showcases more the emotions of the movie without the likes of hit makers like you’ll find on the mainstream Twilight soundtracks.

We gave the Puss in Boots soundtrack a great review earlier this month, and now we have the CD to give you in our latest contest!

Whether or not you are an aficionado of Hawaiian music, I highly recommend this soundtrack. It is perfect for those times when you need something to help you relax and escape stress.

The music of War Horse is more subdued and understated than much of Williams’s other material, and it sometimes sounds like it should go with a different type of movie. Still, it is a John Williams score, and as such it is well worth an hour of your time to listen to it.

I was excited to review the Puss In Boots movie soundtrack. I thought I would hear cute ditties, clever ripostes, and all those songs that are targeted at children and could be annoying, but somehow are so charming that us adults can love them too. Instead, I got Flamenco power riffs and symphonic epics.
