Media Morsels

Let me share with you, two bits of media morsels I have enjoyed recently.
Firstly, Rang De Basanti. If you only see one Indian movie this year make it this one. From the acting to the cinematography, this film is a treat. On top of that there is a message, an important one, and you leave the cinema with your thoughts being majorly provoked. Plus, there are absolutely no choreographed dance routines and no sing-songing. Bonza.
Secondly, The Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack. I was a bit meh about the movie; nothing could outshine the CBBC dramatisation of the C.S. Lewis classic but I was impressed by the music. This is probably the first score to grab my attention like this since Graeme Revell’s efforts for The Crow. The official CD also includes some songs, the likes of Imogen Heap and Alanis Morrissette providing the vocals. Definitely worth a listen if you get the chance but don’t confuse it with the other one….

  1. I think you may be onto something with the Narnia soundtrack, I found the Imogen Heap track on a blog last year and I love love love it.

  2. I won’t get the soundtrack, I’ll just borrow it from my gorgeous fiancee.
    Alanis Morrisette…I feel another ‘ironic’ rant coming on..oooh, narrowly avoided, phew

  3. Hey when we’re married, we’re going to adopt each other’s music collections. I know you’re dying to listen to my Backstreet Boy’s back catalogue.

  4. oh good, the onus of illegal mp3’s will be on you too 😉
    I can’t wait for us to adopt each others collections, I think I’ll call yours Sandrine.
    And for the record, I can’t wait to hear your BB catalogue 🙂 *Oh dear, I actually meant that, you really have turned me into a big softy*
