NP-The Lord of the Rings-Eric Serra (very cool and appropriate synth score for this overrated film)

I've been looking for that Willie Nelson album everywhere.

Much better than Star Wars (not that anyone has ever heard of that movie)! - Harry Knees, "Isn't-It-Keen-News"

NP:Pokemon-The Movie (now there is a soundtrack)

NP: TITANIC: THE REVENGE (James Horner demos for upcoming sequel) (it turns out that Rose had a son by Jack that she gave up for adoption, who in turn became a multimillionaire, played by Gregory Peck, who is obsessed with finding and destroying the precise iceberg that killed his father years before. Only with the onset of certain technologies in the nineties is he able to realize the finance of his quest, so he sends his grandson, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, to destroy the iceberg. However, a group of fringe terrorists -- Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, Lena Olin and Jake Busey -- get wind of the plot, and by intercepting the satellite frequencies Peck and DiCaprio are using to pinpoint the iceberg, discover that it has at its center a heretofore undiscovered form of plutonium, which exerted a magnetic effect on the Titanic and caused the crash in the first place. The terrorists wish to save the iceberg in order to conquer the world, though it's not at all clear what they'll do with it when they have it, the script is going through its eighteenth rewrite -- don't know if they'll be hanging on to the dialogue tweaks by Quentin Tarantino in draft #11 or not. The girlfriend part is expected to be played by Reese Witherspoon, and it's thought that Leonardo DiCaprio's father/grandfather/son issues will also be explored via a role for his OWN illegitimate son, to be played by Haley Joel Osment. Of course, Gloria Stuart is expected to return as Rose, though she comes to an exceptionally nasty fate when the terrorists barge into her home to find out where DiCaprio went after escaping their high-speed chase through the New Orleans fish market. Rose is still a tough old broad after all these decades, so of course she doesn't give it up, but the Tarantino-authored "interrogation" sequence is hair-raising on the printed page. I believe that's why they brought in PT Anderson, Robert Towne and Walter Hill to "soften" it. Oddly enough, this picture still has no director attached, although Horner has already written and recorded about 70 minutes of London Symphony Orchestra demo tracks, which sound curiously like a cross between LEGENDS OF THE FALL, BRAVEHEART and the original TITANIC, plus vast dollops of Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky. Oh, that wacky, unpredictable Horner!)

Well, apparently this forgotten movie "Star Wars" your talking about was a blatant remake of another forgotten European "Made-for-TV" movie which was released on the radio (the idea never really caught on!!)known as "Space Battles". It was directed by a little known independent director at the time called Georgino Lukoski(Lukoski interestingly translates into "he with the face of an Ewok") His previous movies had been cult works...first came SGZ-2238 ( a bleak movie set in the future...12 years ago!!..with a confusing script). The origin of the title of the movie caused years of heated articles and discussions between film historians and critics debating its meaning..."was it a reference to the de-humanization of the central character( who had been reduced to a number)...was it a reference to the astronomical alliance witnessed by the Thod-people and how it affected their mathematically-based social philosophy??? The questions were never resolved! In a recent interview Luckoski dumbfounded all the the critics when he admitted that the title was actually " the licence number of his Skoda car at the time"...he was a poor student in those days! His next big cult movie was "Rumanian graphite"...a story about disillusioned youth in a poor mining village! One of the central stars Ricardo Dreyfioski was to later star in a future Summer blockbuster! The story about a giant toothless shark that terrorises German tourists on a beach by devouring their towels ( and sometimes the tourist themselves) has since become one of the greatest movies of all time. "Gums" became a big hit in Europe and in a similar vein to "Star Wars" was remade for the American market with a different less credible story...the shark was ludicrously given a set of choppers...the German tourists were dropped from the menu and what was left was a messy mish-mash of a movie that never really took off. The choice of a different title, the silly "Jaws" didn't help matters either. Anyway, I hope this of interest to some of you! GaeNP TWINE
