All About Soundtracks Review: In the fashion of rebooting classic franchises, Nightmare on Elm Street is another failure. One of those movies that are a shame to Hollywood, it deserved precisly a score that would be a shame to film music. Being the movie produced by Micheal Bay, it was expected that Steve Jablonsky would be hired to score it. And so he was.

All About Soundtracks Review: Another entry in the 3D Hollywood frenzy, Clash of the Titans (a remake, actually) was, as expected, trashed by critics. As many other action flicks on contemporary cinema, it relies too much on CGI effects and wall-to-wall action, rather than character development, which, of course, asks for a type of music so bombastic that it almost seems entertaining.

All About Soundtracks Review: Second collaboration between Jerry Goldsmith and director Paul Verhoeven, Basic Instinct is a 1992 erotic thriller about a fascinating, sexy and dangerous blond writer. Her books, all about sex, violence and death, tend to have connections with real-life events. That's why she gets to be the main suspect of an ice-pick, in-bed, cold-blooded murder. She is the unforgettable Catherine Tramell.

All About Soundtracks Review: The score for Tom Ford's directorial debut has two composers, though Abel Korzeniowski is responsible for the majority of the tracks.
This score was reportedly recorded without click track and with solo violinist standing up while playing. This all made the music sound more natural, which just highlights its emotional depth.

All About Soundtracks Review:
John Powell was the one who got the unique chance to score this amazing 3D movie.
The album opens with a track (This is Berk) that pretty much defines what is coming: Irish tones, joyful melodies, bits of action/adventure and a very sentimental touch.
