Best Sermon:

The Chicken Who Crossed The Road

"Dearly beloved, today we shall look to Chapter Three from the Old Testament Book of Hezekiah. In Verse Twenty-Seven we are introduced to the dilemma of the chicken. Let us not forget that we first met this chicken back in the book of Genesis; it was there in Chapter One, Verse Twenty, that the age-old question, 'Which came first: the chicken or the egg?' was answered for us.
But I digress.
Hezekiah 3:27 : "And among Hezekiah's bountiful livestock there was a chicken unlike the rest, in that she was filled with wanderlust. A rebellious spirit did draw her away, to depart from her roost, and causing her to so cast her eye upon yonder pathway. Traversing there, she did cross."
This chicken was not satisfied or content to abide among Hezekiah's livestock, where she enjoyed abundant blessing. No, dear friends, she was drawn toward rebellion and the carnal pleasures that awaited her...ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YONDER PATHWAY!"- Chris Kinsinger

NP: IX (****1/2)

Best Comedy score
The Big Kahuna-Christopher Young
mostly cuz I haven't seen others, except Mete the Parents, and that was non-existent

Best Action score
Gladiator-Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard

I have to give it up for this score. good stuff. the more I listen, the more I like it, especially in the film. battle music is not as formless as people think, but still, it's film music people, not classical music.

Best Animation or Musical score
Dinosaur-James Newton Howard

it's the only one I've heard, and it's stunning

Best Sci-Fi/Horror score
Hollow Man-Jerry Goldsmith
The Cell-Howard Shore

this ends in a tie. HM is way underrated, and The Cell is just bad ass.

Worst score (So far!!!)
Blair Witch 2-Carter Burwell

I like Burwell, but please. Why pay this guy's fee, for essentially nothing more than what they had in the first film?

Best unreleased score
Frequency-Michael Kamen

hands down.

Most Over-the-top score
Gone In 60 Seconds-Trevor Rabin

yikes...

Best composer comeback
Maurice Jarre

not sure where the others went...

Worst Album botch jobs
The Road to El Dorado-Hans Zimmer/John Powell

Best composer
James Newton Howard (Dinosaur, Vertical Limit, Unbreakable)

been a great couple years for this guy.

I did like Chicken Run, though.

I can't nominate any yet because we still have a month of movies to see and scores to hear.

NP TV Themes Judd for the Defense.

I take not being nominated myself as a blessing

I should make an award for all of the people I've said "You da man" to this year.

You da man, Al,
Shaun

you need to hand out little trophies to everyone you called a bastard this year.
that'd be cool

NP -- Bite the Bullet, Alex North

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon....Magnificient.

Either you do your research well, or you've got one helluva memory

Either way, good job.
