[QUOTE]Originally posted by kmart: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] "Early" scores? I had the displeasure of seeing "Bicentennical Man" recently, and found that I could still enjoy the movie by closing my eyes, listening to the music and thinking that I was watching "Wrath of Khan". When Horner is great, he is great. In ST2 especially so. Provided you don't mind the similarities to "Jumanji" and stuff. And he's *not* a one-trick horse, as the "Mark of Zorro" score was great in a very different way. It's just that he has enough greatness in him for about one movie per decade... Timo Saloniemi [/qb][/QUOTE]Most of the memorable stuff in ZORRO is just another iteration of his BRAINSTORM stuff, mainly Louise Fletcher's heart attack. As much as I enjoyed the movie, I haven't upgraded from letterbox VHS on Zorro, mainly cuz I keep being distracted by the score. It is a lot like the battle cues in ALIENS that sound exactly like KHAN, which sounds just like WOLFEN, or the stealing the enterprise music that is in UNCOMMON VALOR. To be fair, the same thing happens on most of Horner's 'modern action' movies as well ... 48 HRS and GORKY PARK and COMMANDO all use pretty much the same cues and the same orchestrations in the same kinds of scenes. Even though he does do some expert steals on occasion (parts of KHAN, for example), he usually makes the most generic choices in terms of practically re-sampling his own stuff time & again.
