Hold onto your hats Boys & Girls, Trump's releasing the final JFK files!

The Washington Post is reporting some interesting stuff today, but I guess they are slogging through it.

That's the go, "many hands make light work" and just "keep an ear to the ground" and then "the truth will set you free"!

   James Horner is my preference by far. A great tragedy when he died crashing his own airplane.

I have nothing against James Horner except while listening to some of his scores he interchanges a lot of cues from one piece to another. Jerry Goldsmith is high on my list for constantly being original but at the end of the day nothing beats a rousing John Williams soundtrack which perfectly sets the mood and atmosphere and considering his wealth of work he rarely repeats himself!

  I like Goldsmith. Prefer "Rudy" if going with only one. If we are picking only 1 movie, I would go with Howard Shore and any of the "Lord Of The Rings". He composed a lot of different themes for each character along with The Shire, the Battles etc. Phenomenal work. Regarding Horner, Williams has nothing close to "Glory". Horner vs Williams is like comparing Lennon to McCartney. Extremely different composers.

Howard Shore has been on my radar ever since he played in Hamburg in the underground clubs, no sorry that was the Rolling Stones, no, no that was another band that's currently eluding me! Anyway being a David Cronenberg fan, I was impressed with the Howard Shore scores to his early 80's movies like Scanners, Videodrome and a little later The Fly. And it's been interesting following Shore as he went on to bigger but not necessarily better movies and yeah, his Lord of the Rings soundtrack fits the movie pretty well.

BTW I listened to excerpts to the "Glory" music and it's fine, if not a bit derivative and generic.

   If you have Not watched the "Glory" (1989) movie, I recommend you do so. Has early Denzel and Morgan Freeman starring in it. Matching the Horner score with the on-screen images displays Horner at his best.
