It is the first score soundtrack to debut in the Top 10 in five years (“Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” in 2005). The soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records on December 7, 2010. Walt Disney Pictures’ “TRON: Legacy” hits U.S. theaters on December 17, 2010, in Disney Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D.

The TRON: Legacy soundtrack marks Daft Punk’s best sales week and is their highest-charting album ever. The duo's previous best week was 2001's Discovery, which debuted at No. 44, with 34,000 units.

Globally, the album is in the Top 10 on the iTunes chart: in the U.S. (#3), France (#1), Australia (#1), Canada (#1), Belgium (#1), Germany (#2), Ireland (#2), New Zealand (#2), UK (#3), Spain (#3), Denmark (#3), Mexico (#3), Italy (#4), Norway (#9), Sweden (#9).

The TRON: Legacy soundtrack features 22 score cues and was recorded with an 85-piece orchestra at AIR Lyndhurst Studios, Britain’s premier scoring facility.

“TRON: Legacy” is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn’s Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.

TRON: LEGACY

DISNEY

TRON bridges the generation gap like so much fiber optic bloodline, picking up right where the original left off in the late 80's, racing through a time spanning montage into the near-future where young Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund - Death Sentence/Eragon/Troy) is pixelated to an otherworldly digital universe known as the Grid, which marches to the beat of a different drum machine. Hedlund does a convincingly good job as a wealthy arrogant disenfranchised troubled boy whose deep issues over his fathers mysterious disappearance leads him on a clandestine path to discovering what happened and become a hero. Flanked by Olivia Wilde (Turistas/Alpha Dog) who is digital eye candy as Flynn's savior and heroine, and watch for cameos by Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later/BATMAN Returns), score composers Daft Punk, and smatters of one liners and references paying homage to the original. A vivid 3D theatrical experience loaded with visuals so stunning it makes the original look like PONG. Do not miss this film in IMAX 3D. End of line.

Faster

Written by Tony and Joe Gayton
Directed by George Tillman, Jr (Soul Food, Men of Honor, Notorious)
Starring Dwayne Johnson (formerly known as "The Rock"), Billy Bob Thornton, Carla Gugino, Moon Bloodgood, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Maggie Grace.

Driver (Dwayne Johnson) released from prison from a bank robbery, sets out to avenge his brother's death. After his first vengeance kill, he attracts the attention from police, one being a Cop (Billy Bob Thornton), and a Killer (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), an overconfident hitman.

The Driver's no-nonsense straight-forward TCB (taking care of business) keeps the pace fast, and causes the audience to expect what happens next, then contradicting that expectation with a surprise twist. The characters are given simple names: Driver, Killer, Cop, Warden... but their back stories are far from simple, developing a mystery behind the ambush that cost the life of his brother. Keeping the audience's interest throughout the film.

The storyline kept reminding me of The Crow, with a little Kill Bill. The setting was Nevada. With Jackson-Cohen's character entered for conflict. Thornton's character seemed detached throughout until the end.

The cinematography is reminiscent of westerns and old cop-shows of the 70's, close ups and slow motion during gunfights and chase scenes, with little dialogue between vigilante and victim.

Faster's script isn't the best, but with the camera angles and action scenes, it makes up for a good action flick. Worth the money for a ticket. Definitely *NOT* a chick-flick.

Faster is Rated R, opening in theaters tomorrow Nov. 24, 2010

Red Riding Hood - Warner Bros.

Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf? When the full moon rises … everyone.


The full moon is a time of romance, madness, and—for those who believe—the werewolf.

In the coming months, we will warn you of the full moon’s approach, beginning with the trailer for RED RIDING HOOD, from director Catherine Hardwicke.

Opening on March 11, 2011, this is no fairy tale. Amanda Seyfried stars a beautiful young woman who is determined to follow her heart, despite the terror of the werewolf who returns with each full moon and who, by day, could be anyone—even the man she loves.

The trailer arrives just in time to remind you of the next full moon on November 21st.

Remember…

BELIEVE THE LEGEND.
BEWARE THE WOLF.
