> 2 – Pirates of the Caribbean – At World’s End (HanZ et al.) ***** –

> A towering achievement, very diverse, VERY chest-thumping, and VERY enjoyable. “Up Is Down” (“The Green Flash”) is prime HanZ/MV/RC material!

And also prime Henry Jackman material, going off of the additional contributor credits.

> 6 – Angel (Ph. Rombi) **** – Lovely score, a modern Delerue of sorts, and yet one that I rarely re-visit. JBlough said something along the same lines...but the upbeat tracks are great!

It would be a heck of a lot easier to trace its Frank Skinner inspirations if there were, like, any Frank Skinner scores available outside of re-recordings of his monster music.

> 8 – Surf’s Up (M. Danna) **** – A nice change for Danna, whose scores also very often have a strong melancholic current about them...something Canadian, perhaps? But the upbeat tracks are great!

I finally got around to this one this year. Fun, if scattershot - though the latter is perhaps justifiable since if memory serves the movie was done as a kind of animated mockumentary.
