Fresh Out of the Oven: “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”
by Honk Mahfah on Jul.15, 2009, under Harry Potter, Movies
Time for a confession: there’s something about the Harry Potter franchise — be it the novels or the movies — that just doesn’t connect with me. I’ve enjoyed it, overall; I read the final three novels as soon as I could get my hands on them, and I’ve seen each of the movies at the earliest available opportunity.
But they’re not sticking with me, for some reason. I can remember a few details here and there, and the broad strokes of the stories are still more or less present in my head … but I spent a large portion of the sixth movie thinking to myself, “Man, I don’t remember much of this.”
Is that a problem with me or a problem with the movie(s)?

Sure, Sure, the Movie’s Good; What About the Music?
by Honk Mahfah on Apr.08, 2009, under Music, Star Trek
None of this week’s early reviews of Star Trek touched upon one of the elements many of the geekiest of the geeky (such as myself) are most interested in hearing about: Michael Giacchino’s score.
Ain’t-It-Cool has rectified that, with a report from ScoreKeeper focusing entirely upon the music. It’s an extremely positive review that makes me even more excited to see the film than I already was.
Giacchino is a star on the rise in Hollywood. He’s been providing the score for each episode of Lost since its premiere, and on the big screen he’s been responsible for the outstanding scores for The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Speed Racer.
In addition to Star Trek, this summer will see new Giacchino scores for both Up and Land of the Lost.
The Star Trek soundtrack is available for pre-order here.
