Today, we lost one of the great composers at the age of 61. Obviously, he converts his own music into something magical when we listen to his soundtracks and listen while watching the movies, especially during Avatar. He collaborated with James Cameron and Ron Howard multiple times and some of their movies were handled and created beautifully thank to James Horner's contribution to the movie industry. He created some of the best and memorable scores and also won an Academy Awards for one of the highest-grossing films of all-time.
So, here are some scores that were composed by this talented music aficionado. May he rest in peace.
Braveheart - For the Love of a Princess
Braveheart - Freedom
Glory - Closing Credits
Aliens - Futile Escape
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Main Titles (his debut)
Apollo 13 - Re-Entry & Splashdown
Legends of the Fall - The Ludlows
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - Remembrance, Remembrance
We're about halfway through the Harry Potter franchise and this is the turning point in which I found the material to be darker and more mature when the storyline surrounding Lord Voldemort grows. And, also we see another new and fresh direction as David Yates comes into the spotlight to finish off the franchise with the last four movies. I remember watching the trailer in the theaters and I was excited for this movie as it was mostly action-packed. The bottom line is despite the camaraderie between the young Hogwarts characters and a real-good action sequence in the climax, it is a choppily edited and more grounded movie that does not provoke much magic or memorable scenery. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is enduring a hot summer and Dudley (Harry Melling) provokes him by making fun of the fact that Harry is haunted by Cedric's death from The Goblet of Fire and also his mom's death. As a storm approaches, demeanors come into the tunnel sucking Dudley's so...
The passengers think Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a terrorist. Airports and airplanes. The lines. The crowds. The delays. Everything that Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) hates about flying. When it comes to airports, I have to go through the procedure with taking your carry-on baggage and luggage on the flight. Then, I go through security which I have to admit is not as bad, just follow the rules and guidelines. After security, what do you do? If you are two or three hours early, you have time to kill: Have something to eat, watch something on your IPad, shop, etc. As you board and get on the plane, anything can happen from turbulence to maybe something unexpected like this movie's situation. This movie is silly and preposterous, but it is a fun movie to watch. The movie opens with Bill Marks tired drinking alcohol and arguing with a supervisor on his cellphone glancing at a photo of his daughter. But, he is trying to get his act together by lighting a cigarette while he is being pus...
