It’s time for another installment of Movie Score Monday, wherein I discuss and share some of my favorite film scores… AMELIE I’m going to get very sappy here and admit that I, Sean, do in fact

I’ve been watching some Reelz Channel this weekend, mostly out of extreme boredom. I didn’t even realize I had the channel at all, and only discovered it after doing a DVR search and realizing one of the results was from a channel that wasn’t programmed into my favorites.

It was the first detailed look at the updated sets, costumes & overall design aesthetic for the prequel/re-imagined Sci-Fi tale. Now, I realize we’re getting into extreme nerd territory here, [...]
