Terry Teachout Says Chinatown’s Score Sounds Better Than Ever - WSJ.com

Saturday, July 11, 2009 2:10:32 PM GMT
Does film music really matter to the average moviegoer? A great score, after all, can’t save a bad film, and a bad score--so it’s said--can’t sink a good one. Well into the ’40s, it wasn’t uncommon for big-budget Hollywood movies to contain little or no underscoring, and many of today’s directors, following the lead of Martin Scorsese in “GoodFellas,” accompany their films with pop records, not original music.

Not since the Clash has a band hopped from punk to pop with as much success as Green Day, whose recently released “21st Century Breakdown” (Reprise) is the trio’s second consecutive No. 1 album.

I'm with SG - all the critics who thought Borat was good need their heads examined. You all claimed he was showing up American xenophobia and uber politeness and sneaky racism. But Cohen was the racist in that film. I found the entire movie bereft of intellgience and never did get the Ali G show, either. (more)
