Hear a Preview of 'The Wrestler' score.
In case anyone was actually wondering, I'm still alive.
Anyway, I don't really have time to post much these days, but something I though was pretty exciting came my way via Cinematical.
If you head over to music maestro Clint Mansell's MySpace page, you can hear a section of his score for Darren Aronofsky's (award winning) new film The Wrestler.
Exciting, no? It's got a great sound to it-somber and gritty with some redemptive notes near the end, and I can practically imagine the film unfolding to this without having seen a single frame.
With Rachel Weisz already getting good notices for her performance in Rian Johnson's latest, The Brothers Bloom, this looks to be the year of Mr. and Mrs. Aronofsky.
Aaaah . . . the sweet smell of success.

The Twelve Movie Meme
Piper tagged JA who tagged Glenn who tagged me so . . . here goes nothing. The general idea is to program your own 6 night mini-film festival. I tried to 'program' each night with two films with similar themes or aesthetics.
And, hey . . . there's a whole day of the week left over for me to screen all 6 hours of La Meglio gioventù (Marco Tullio Giordana, 2003)
Technically, I'm supposed to tag 5 people, but I'm pretty sure anyone who plans on doing this already has. If I'm forgetting you, just leave a comment and consider yourself tagged.
NIGHT #1
À la folie... pas du tout (Laetitia Colombani, 2002) and
Jeux d'enfants (Yann Samuell, 2003)
Two quirky French comedies with surprisingly wicked edges
