This week's new release from La-La Land is FAMILY GUY: MOVEMENT 1, a collection of score cues from the first four seasons of the long-running animated series, composed by Ron Jones (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Walter Murphy (Ted). Jones and Murphy both received multiple Emmy nominations for their work on the show, and Murphy won for one of its songs.
Intrada plans to release one new CD next week.

DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
RETURN TO SENDER - Daniel Hart
"An early scene displays [director Fouad] Mikati's potential for interesting visual choices, as a parabolic tracking shot charts a harmless conversation between the pair about Miranda's upcoming blind date. That initial flair is unfortunately squandered in favor of soap-opera staging, with characters either isolated in shot/reverse-shot or in cut-and-paste two shot, and accompanied by Daniel Hart's forgettable score, which dutifully connects the film's solemn dots by literally reflecting Miranda's emotional state at every turn. The rape sequence itself, inside Miranda's home, is merely hacked together, edited and staged so forgettably that it reveals Mikati's apathy for the material as a whole. In such a traumatic moment and as the anchor of Miranda's subsequent pain, Mikati's indifference instantly sinks the film."
Clayton Dillard, Slant Magazine
"Faced with such unattractive material, Mikati effectively takes that advice to heart on the filmmaking front. The pic’s polished tech credentials belie its grimy origins, with d.p. Russell Carpenter (an awfully long way from 'Titanic') bathing the proceedings in a buttery summer glow, no matter the supposed time of year. The score, by distinctive composer Daniel Hart ('Ain’t Them Bodies Saints'), toys with more brittle sonic textures before settling on standard-issue tones of dread -- as if to compensate for the lack of tension elsewhere."
Guy Lodge, Variety
