Nine Soundtrack

Nine is quite a disappointment actually considering the success of Chicago which was directed by the same director Rob Marshall. Is kind of boring and flat. The movie literally don’t have any climax at all. It was fantastic to see so many great actress in this film like Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Fergie and last but not least Marion Cotilard.



It was such a waste, to see all this actress do not have much more to expand their characters in this movie. Worst still I have no idea why they put Fergie in the movie? Her character seems like ill placed and do not have any connection with the movie at all. Yet, I think she did a fabulous job for her performance when she sing “Be Italian." Kate Hudson actually was quite impressive with her performance singing “Cinema Italiano”.
The movie do seems like trying to squeeze way too many songs in the movie. Sometimes, less is more. Nine is way too over nine. It lack of storylines or to expand the storylines into more details. It much more like touch and go.

At the end of the movie, I still don’t know what causes Guido to lost his talent in directing movies. The only enjoyable part was watching the singing part. At least, the soundtracks were decent enough.


The trailer is nice but the movie is not. :(

New Moon OST

Ok forget about the cheesy movie. I know is quite a few months since the movie showed in the cinema. But, one have to admit the soundtracks of the New Moon are good. Same goes with The Twilight OST. Well, it shouldn’t be a surprise at all as both movies music supervisor was Alexandra Patsavas. She is the one who in charge of Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girls, The O.C, Private Practice, Boston Public, Mad Men, Roswell and many more American series' music supervisor. You actually can sense her influences in all those movies as she likes to pick indie band music and alternative rock band music to fuse into the drama/movie.

Personally, I do think New Moon OST is one of the best OST of our time. Of course, you can’t compare it to the mammoth Titanic OST. That is way out of league. Anyway, this OST included quite a number of indie-rock heavyweight Death Cab for Cutie, Bon Iver and Grizzly Bear. As for alternative rock band it included Radiohead, Muse, The Killers and Band of Skulls. Need I say more? The former 3 bands were all incredible successful worldwide.

sure many female fans gaga over this

There was one song in this OST that even after I watched the movie the song still linger in my mind. That’s Possibility by Lykke Li which can be heard at the scene where Bella sits and thinks while months go by. Perhaps, it was the scene that looked so melancholic and when this song started to play the whole scene and the song just standout. Another 2 songs that worth to mention is A White Demon Love Song by The Killers (played at the Credit) and Satellite Heart by Anya Marina (played when Edward send Bella home after the birthday party). It can be said that New Moon OST is much more atmospheric and hushed if compare to The Twilight OST which is much more rock based etc. Paramore , Linkin Park…

Possibility by Lyyke Li (fans video short version)

So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
you're the only one that knows.
Tell me when you hear my silence,
there's a possibility I wouldn't know.

So tell me when my sorrow's over,
you're the reason why I'm closed.
Tell me when you hear me falling,
there's a possibility it wouldn't show.
mmmmm....

Satellite Heart by Anna Marina (fans video short version)

I'm a satellite heart
lost in the dark
I'm spun out so far
you stop, I start
But I'll be true to you

I'm a satellite heart
lost in the dark
I'm spun out so far
you stop I start

But I'll be true to you no matter what you do
Yeah, I'll be true to you

All Is Love by Karen O and The Kids

Pardon me for being absent from this blog for such a long time. I had updated my personal blog about it. I once mentioned in my personal blog that I really like Where the Wild Things Are including the soundtrack. So here I am.

All Is Love by Karen O & The Kids is my personal favourite soundtrack in the movie. It was so joyful and happy. The voice of the kids was so cheerful and innocent. A beautiful piece of music which can easily represent the basic, childishness of love.

It totally captures the movie so well. It matches the scene in the movie perfectly. I just can’t describe in words. You just have to watch the movie and feel it yourself.

The lyric was very simple. Only have 3 paragraphs but that’s all it needs.

One, two, ready, go
Grow some big feet, holes in history
Is where you’ll find me, is where you’ll find
All is love, is love, is love, is love

L.O.V.E, it’s a mystery
Where you’ll find me, where you’ll find
All is Love, is love, is love, is love

Hey, ooh
Hey, ooh
Ooh ooh…
All is Love

One, two, ready, go
L.O.V.E, it’s a mystery
Where you’ll find me, where you’ll find
All is love, is love, is love, is love

Ooh ooh…
All is Love, is love, is love, is love…
