All About Soundtracks Review:
The highly acclaimed Argentine/Spanish murder thriller The Secret in Their Eyes (in the original, El Secreto de Sus Ojos) is the winner of this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. This film has mystery, crime, and revenge. But also a deep, nostalgic love. And that's clearly the main inspiration for the duo of composers for the score, Emilio Kauderer and Frederico Jusid.

Salt is a new action thriller, starring Angelina Jolie for more than obvious reasons. The score by James Newton-Howard matches what was expected for such a movie.

Inception is the third collaboration between director Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer. For this score, Zimmer creates a soundscape that is, well, different.

All About Soundtracks Review:
Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven, instead of calling for the bombast talents of Hans Zimmer, as in Gladiator, called of a different approach which was handled by Harry Gregson-Williams.
Actually, Kingdom of Heaven can be considered, in terms of instrumentation and mood, a superior cousin of Gregson-William’s more recent Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. This is a very consistent, solid score, from start to end; however, it will take some time to sink in. If you let it though, you’ll be amazed.

This score stars sounding more and more like The Dark Knight. The baseline at least seems to have been shamelessly incorporated.

All About Soundtracks Review:
The third (and better) book of the Twilight Saga was brought to the big screen through the vision of David Slade (also director of Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night). This movie differs from its predecessors in its faster pace and less melodramatic romanticism. This includes tough decisions about growing up and a big battle at the end. Howard Shore is then more than obviously in his comfort zone to score this movie.

For me, it's sounds a bit The Dark Knight, but at the same time a bit fresh. What do you think?

All About Soundtracks Review:
Returning from the fifth and probably worst entry on the Harry Potter franchise, director David Yates brought back with him his fellow composer Nicholas Hooper.
While the movie definitely improved over the last one, the score continues to be too little given that this is a Harry Potter movie. There’s just not enough density in Hooper’s composition and orchestration.
Hooper’s second entry on the franchise continues to be poor when compared to prior scores, but it’s an improvement over the last one in terms of thematic development.

After 14 years of troubled production, Basic Instinct 2 was here. Directed by Michael Caton-Jones, this late sequel lost everything that made its predecessor a classic: a titillating direction by Paul Verhoeven, a much younger and sexier Sharon Stone as main star, and a superb score by Jerry Goldsmith.

The score from Hans Zimmer to the second Mission: Impossible movie is a two-face one.
On the one hand, Zimmer's use of electronics goes here to levels of mere, irritating noise.
