Aisle Seat 2-11: Kino Lorber, Warner Archive Mid-Winter Mania
Posted By: Andy Dursin 2/10/2025 - 10:00 PM
In the wake of “Jaws,” countless imitators sprang up from the depths, from Joe Dante’s “Piranha” to AIP’s “Tentacles” and William Girdler’s “nature run amok” outings “Grizzly” and “Day of the Animals.” Not one to be outdone, prolific mogul Dino De Laurentiis joined the fray with 1977’s ORCA, THE KILLER WHALE (90 mins., PG; Kino Lorber), a laughably bad – if beautifully shot – cash-in that mixed “Jaws” with a dash of “Moby Dick” and a particularly poor performance by Richard Harris.

Film Score Friday 2/7/25
Posted By: Scott Bettencourt 2/6/2025 - 10:00 PM
La-La Land is releasing a remastered and expanded edition of the score that put Hans Zimmer on the map in Hollywood, the 1988 drama RAIN MAN, which earned the composer his first Oscar nomination. Scoring Driving Miss Daisy the following year made Zimmer the first composer to score two consecutive Best Picture winners (and he has since scored two more, Gladiator and 12 Years a Slave).


Mutant is releasing a two-CD set of Mick Giacchino's music for THE PENGUIN, the limited series spinoff of 2022's The Batman. They will also be releasing the score on vinyl; other recently announced vinyl score releases from the label include Companion, Deadpool & Wolverine, Hit Man, The Imaginary and Wolf Man. (Rule of thumb seems to be that Mutant releases CDs of Warners/New Line productions, such as Dune: Part Two, Furiosa, Wonka, Twisters, and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, though so far that's not been the case with Companion.)


This year's Grammy winners in the film music-related categories are:

BEST SCORE SOUNDTRACK FOR VISUAL MEDIA (INCLUDES FILM AND TELEVISION)
DUNE: PART TWO - Hans Zimmer
 
BEST SCORE SOUNDTRACK FOR VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER INTERACTIVE MEDIA
WIZARDRY: PROVING GROUNDS OF THE MAD OVERLORD - Winifred Phillips
 
BEST SONG WRITTEN FOR VISUAL MEDIA
"IT NEVER WENT AWAY" from American Symphony - Jon Batiste, Dan Wilson
 
BEST COMPILATION SOUNDTRACK FOR VISUAL MEDIA
MAESTRO: MUSIC BY LEONARD BERNSTEIN
