You can buy Bobby Jones, Stroke of the Genius: mix Braveheart and golf and you can listen how William Wallace is playing golf!. Uncredible but true, I'm working in a photo composition in Mel Gibson playing golf. Please, James, stop to compose always the same. We expect that the following soundtracks will be better.
Only two words... the same as always but perfect in the film. Considering the limited timeframe in which had to write his score, Horner delivered the goods. He had replaced Gabriel Yared and he had only one month to write and record the soundtrack but..., another time the same.
HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG and BEYOND BORDERS, the new movie of Angelie Jolie
In the seventh film version of the novel of the same name, The Four Feathers explores what it meant to be British in the late 19th century, with themes of honor, pride and dignity running throughout. Most of all, the film (starring Heath Ledger, Wes Bentley and Kate Hudson), was about friendship. Directed by Shekar Kapur (Elizabeth), the film boasted a sweeping score by James Horner.
Horner's score is, on the surface, more of the same dramatic fare he's been giving us for the past few years. A strong melody (heard on piano in "The Dance") is used throughout the rather lengthy album. Of course, the orchestrations are solid, and there are plenty of allusions to his previous scores that will keep fans squirming yet satisfied. Contributing to the sonic texture of the score is singer Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Many folks might find his work either grating and want to skip over them, but there are a few action sequences where it works quite well. ("Sniper!" and "Escape", for example.)
A flaw of the album is that as a listening experience, it's too broad. How Sony managed to do it is beyond me, but this album runs 79:18 - which is just about 25 minutes or so longer than this album needed to be. Don't get me wrong - I really enjoyed it, and it got plenty of playtime in my stereo - it's just that it's almost too much to take in at once. The solid themes and exciting action music, though, make this score stand out above Horner's other war film of 2002, Windtalkers. The last track, "A Coward No Longer" is a great suite, and ends the album on a great note. Devoted fans of Horner's work will probably want to pick this one up, and those who enjoyed the film might find it to be a satisfying memento. But be prepared for a long haul.

THE ALAMO produced and directed by Ron Howard, HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG and BEYOND BORDERS, the new movie of Angelie Jolie.
Four feathers, aviable at the stores now
WINDTALKERS.
That movie is set in the Pacific during World War II and follows Marine Joe Enders (Nicolas Cage), who is assigned to protect Ben Yahzee (Adam Beach) – a Navajo code talker, the Marines’ new secret weapon. Enders’ orders are to protect his code talker, but if Yahzee should fall into enemy hands, he’s to “protect the code at all costs.” Against the backdrop of the horrific Battle of Saipan, when capture is imminent, Enders is forced to make a decision: if he can’t protect his fellow Marine, how far will he go to protect the code? The Navajo code was the only one never broken by the Japanese, and is considered to have been key in winning the war. Known for his stylistic diversity, composer James Horner captures all the suspense in Windtalkers with his lush, haunting score.
