Atonement has won Best Score for Dramatic Film at the CUE Awards. Congratulations yet again for Dario Marianelli and Atonement. It does get a bit tedious doesn’t it? ;). This had to win, and it appears the public agrees with the critics on this one.
The Bourne Ultimatum composed by John Powell just won Best Score for Action Film. I don’t mind this winning it, because it is a good score, but for once I would love to see Transformers win it. Then again, if Transformers won it, the credibility of the CUE Awards would go downhill ;).
Congratulations to Varese Sarabande to win Record Label of the Year. Varese Sarabande is of course the big dog and always release high quality stuff. We who love movie scores owe a lot to these guys who keep releasing great score. Keep up the good work!
2 more awards to go in this year’s CUE Awards. Outstanding Composer and Most Memorable Theme. I will keep you posted!

Not a fan of the film I gather? Well, I liked the first part, but then it got a little less likable. The score will not be in my top 10 anytime soon. It’s a little too bland and boring, but I definitely like it more now than when I first heard it.

A great score for a period film, one that I wasn’t expecting to be good, was Alan Silvestri’s score for Beowulf. It’s powerful when it needs to be and emotional when the situation calls for it.

Bewoulf was really good. Still listen to it a lot. Alan’s best work for some time.

I killed that soundtrack when I first got it. Now I only really listen to tracks 4,12,13,15,16 and 17.

I fell in love with track 1 from the moment I heard it. I love the electronic sound in the beginning, so unexpected, yet powerful.

The score for Atonement was better than the majority of the film, though Knightly is fully hot.
