Bill Wrobel's DVD - Film Score Rundowns

00:08:58. However, the “Northern Lights” on the dvd special features tracks is NOT the
same! That music corresponds on the cd as track # 36, “Calm Before the Storm (Mood
1).” Somebody is messing up here! The faster version called “Factory Workers” (on the
cd) starts at dvd 00:21:53 when they show Johnston Island. “Mood 1” on the dvd tracks
actually corresponds to track # 2 on the cd from Atomic Journeys” called “Alamogordo
(Mood 2).” “Mood 4” on the dvd tracks is actually “Do Not Adjust Your Television.” So
more mess-ups.
-Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) **** [music *]

Another Terminator movie director by Cameron, and much better than the first of
the series. I will consider it a sci-fi classic.
-Dumb and Dumber (1994) *** 1/2

This is pretty close to a screwball comedy classic. At least a few scenes are
hilariously classic. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are well cast together. Wonderful comic
chemistry here. However, what stops it from being a classic comedy is that it is rather
crude at places.
-Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) *** 1/2 [music ****]

Good Spielberg sci-fi movie but not quite a classic for me except for a few classic
scenes. Impressive special effects at the time of release (Douglas Trumbell). I did a 79page
rundown of the score here:

-Ryan’s Daughter (1970) *** [music **]

Here is another epic drama directed by the esteemed David Lean. I personally like
this Lean picture more than Dr. Zhivago but liked Passage to India more than Ryan’s
Daughter. However, the storm sequence in the second half of the movie (starting about
thirty minutes into Disc 2) is impressive. But one or two great sequences do not make a
movie, a total enjoyable movie experience. It’s just that I really didn’t care about the
affair between Rosy and the Major. And since a huge chunk of the drama is about that, I
subsequently did not care for the movie overall. Mainly I was admiring the
