Haven't watched the movie nor heard the score, but since years I've intended to do both.
> #94 - Changing Lanes by David Arnold
Very cool movie! That's all I can say.
> #92 - The 25th Hour by Terence Blanchard
Agreed, great score and movie.
> #91 - The Departed by Howard Shore
Again, great score and movie. Probably my John Williams Top 3.
> #90 - Minority Report by John Williams
Somewhere I've made some notes about how great this score is; haven't heard it in quite a while, definitely *****
> #88 - Eragon by Patrick Doyle
> Like most of Doyle’s scores for some odd reason, I shrugged and rapidly
> moved on after my first listen of Eragon, only to return to it years later
> and go “Holy shitballs this is good!” A rousing fantasy/adventure score
> that hits all the right notes (nyuk nyuk) and does it in a tight, concise
> album. Haven’t seen the flick so not sure if there’s some major music
> missing, but I love the CD the way it is, and goddamn, that THEME, that
> awesome and memorable main theme. So good.

Very unusual stuff by Armstrong, but cool.
> #86 - The Incredible Hulk by Craig Armstrong
> Frick sakes, WHY DOESN’T THIS GUY SCORE MORE ACTION FLICKS??? Incredible
> Hulk seemed like such an odd project for the dramatic Scot, yet he blew me
> away with the work, particularly the action cues; Favela Chase is one of
> the strongest non-Bourne chase scene cues I’ve ever heard. He also wound
> up using a sound that became verrrrrrry (too) familiar after Inception,
> the “horn of doom”, but the way he works it into the Hulk theme and
> persona is exceptional. Probably my fave MCU score.

This is probably the only score I have listened to in 2006. Also wanted to play some songs myself on the guitar but unfortunately gave up; maybe I will come back to it.
> #85 - Brokeback Mountain by Gustavo Santaolalla
