Hey everyone,
does anybody know why there hasn't been a review at Filmtracks in a while now? I mean, where's Valiant, or even Corpse Bride (after all Clemensen is super crazy with Elfman). Anynody have a clue what's going on?np: Henry V (Doyle, *****/*****)

http://www.filmtracks.com/scoreboard/main.cgi?read=146127In the meantime, given the many years I've spent reading Filmtracks reviews, let me help you with some insight into what he would probably say:
Corpse Bride: Good score, a return to form for Elfman, but tries to capture too much of Nightmare Before Christmas which was really just a campy niche score anyway. ***
Valiant: George Fenton proves again that he is a master of theme and form, though the sections of necessary mickey-mousing wear on the listening experience at times. ***
Oliver Twist: Rachel Portman should be the mother of my children! This is the best score of the year! Beautiful! *****

Overall: *****(+1)Luckily, none of these scores were "enhanced CDs" with an autoplay feature or they would have been reduced by one star each...or two stars if said CD would have crashed the Mac OSX operating system.

this site don't have any new reviewSince Clemensen put his polemic review about batman begin.
Simple casuality?
Corpse bride is a mediocre score.No coherent theme,just Elfman's fairytale mode.
this man is so boring...
