| Poignant and beautifully told, Lasse Hallstrom’s newest film, HACHI: A DOG’S TALE (***½, 93 mins., 2009, G; Sony), might’ve gone straight to video but ranks as one of last year’s most emotional and satisfying films. |

The latest release from Film Score Monthly is a five-disc boxed set titled THE CINCINNATI KID: LALO SCHIFRIN FILM SCORES, VOL. 1 (1964-1968), limited to 2000 units. The contents are as follows:
Disc One: Rhino! film score
Disc Two: LP tracks from Music from the Motion Picture Once a Thief and Other Themes; Once a Thief film score
Disc Three: The Cincinnati Kid LP tracks, original film score tracks, bonus tracks
Disc Four: The Venetian Affair film score; Sol Madrid LP tracks
Disc Five: Sol Madrid film tracks; bonus tracks inc. themes from Medical Center, The Mask of Sheba, Earth II
Michael Giacchino won the Original Score Oscar last Sunday for his Grammy-winning score to UP, while T. Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham (the singer/songwriter, not the George Clooney character from Up in the Air) won Original Song for "The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart)." Many film music fans were outraged that three-time Oscar winner Maurice Jarre was apparently omitted from the yearly In Memoriam montage, but he was actually featured at the beginning and end of the sequence -- unfortunately, the camera-and-editing coverage of the sequence made it difficult to spot him. |

| Sweeping, romantic and decidedly old-fashioned, Warner Home Video brings the great Ray Harryhausen’s cinematic swan song, CLASH OF THE TITANS (***½, 118 mins., 1981, PG), to Blu-Ray next week in a superb high-definition transfer that ought to enchant both fans and younger viewers unfamiliar with its magical sense of derring-do. |
