> Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) - ****½

A great score.

> Fright Night (2011) - ***

Not a great score, but I do really dig the theme, which lives in my playlist of Djawadi highlights. I really like the flick, too, or did a decade ago. Maybe I'll revisit this fall when the original is re-released. And heck, I miss Yelchin, too, who had chops but was always up for genre shenanigans.

> X-Men: First Class (2011) - ***

My memory from an interview was that Jackman was working on the theme and Vaughn heard the bass line that was going to underlie the theme and was like, "That's it! That's the theme!" and that was that.
