Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - $6

On Monday, at a Frisco HPB, I found a copy of Merlin (T.Jones), The 25th Hour (T.Blanchard), and Casino Royale (D.Arnold).

Now, tonight, at another HPB, I FINALLY got my hands on a copy of Solaris (C.Martinez) for $6. I was like "Holy crap!" when I saw it. And it's in great condition (listenin to it now...)
I also got a copy The Russia House (J.Goldsmith) and the score to Maverick (R.Newman). I've never seen a score to Maverick. Odd cover. 25 tracks.
Been a good week.

Unfortunately, none of them are around where I am (VA). I have to go to a smelly old used books and music store that only occasionally has good stuff (although, I did get Kamen's Lethal Weapon there for $2 last month!).

and

About half of these I got at Hasting's. I've never seen one outside of Texas so I don't know if they have other locations across the country. Their prices are usually $4-6 per disc. Not as good of a selection but when you do find something it's pretty cheap. I hadn't been in several months which is why I found so many this past week.

Several of these I get off Amazon. There are a lot of scores out there like THE TUXEDO I bought used for like two dollars then pay the $2.95 shipping fee so it comes to under $5.

Thanks for the push, P.

Craig, are you going to write any more reviews anytime soon? Your style is unique and you get to the point... I've enjoyed your comments. You've got lots already, and we're all glad of it.

I think Peter's telling the truth this time; Craig has a plenty plethora of reviews. He does, however, dish out an uncompromising amount of high star ratings. I've only done a handful of my own reviews for this site (all of which have a high star rating). Review some bad ones already Craig! May I recommend something like Klimek's and Heil's Land of the Dead? Or, lately, Tyler Bate's 300 (though I think it's rather enjoyable)?

It can be a 1/2 star rating and two sentences, but if what's said gets me to pull the CD and listen to it, I love it!

Half-Price Books is a good one to check out too. It takes leg work. I might only find one title here or there but it adds up. I hadn't raided the used shops in awhile which is why I went gangbusters these past two weeks.

A movie or recording or even a piece of art, are things that are created for the public. Someone took their time to create something to elicit emotion from some of us.
Good or bad.
I can never say that something is "a piece of crap" because it didn't meet my expectations. It's somebody else's hardwork. I let others ruin the experience for themselves. If the creator has gotten me to think about what he has created, even for a few lingering moments, then he's has succeeded.
Now, something may not be my "cup of tea" but, I won't condemn the artist by saying it's a "weak effort". It's like all these people out there that are armchair critics, and dump on an effort by a director or composer or artist. If the artist sticks to a way of doing something, some say he's "repetitive". If the artist tries something different, he gets chastized for not sticking to "something that worked before". It's always a double-edged sword for a "creator-artist"-type. I mean, ya always gotta walk into a movie theatre with low expectations or you're gonna be disappointed. That way, it's better then ya first thought goin in.
And dramatic score music, there ALWAYS something inside it that will move a part of me.

And nut_score, you're right. But, I always find something good in something that's "not my cup of tea". And if not, believe me, I'll tell ya. Not believing in that double-edged sword, I just try to keep things in everyone's favor. Although, I don't have "300" or "Land of the Dead"....yet. And I do like Tyler Bates.

One thing I wholly do not understand is when someone trashes a soundtrack/score because their favorite pop-tune wasn't on it. THAT I'll never understand. Buuut, that's just me...
