\"\"<\/a>This one’s a quick update, due to preparations for this year’s Hot Doc’s Film Festival, of which I shall see many films.<\/p>\n

This week’s quartet of soundtrack titles hover around the he-man action figure typical of some classic and burgeoning film franchises: Marco Beltrami returns with full orchestral gusto in A Good Day to Die Hard<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] (Sony Classical), Joe Kraemer gets an important big screen assignment with Jack Reacher<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] (La-La Land Records), John Scott’s Man on Fire<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] is back in circulation (via Varese Encore) , and Michael Kamen’s Road House<\/a> <\/strong>[M<\/a>]\u00a0is finally out in disc (via Intrada).<\/p>\n

The connection, besides boasting big-name actors, is Michael Kamen, who helped define the sound of eighties & nineties action films (especially those produced by Joel Silver) via Die Hard<\/strong>, a film whose score consists of original and 2 temp track cues derived from James Horner’s Aliens<\/strong> and Scott’s Man on Fire<\/strong>, and like Die Hard<\/strong>, Jack Reacher<\/strong> is an attempt to start a new franchise since star Tom Cruise may be winding down his Mission: Impossible<\/strong> entries.<\/p>\n

Or maybe the dots I see are non-existent.<\/p>\n

Coming next:<\/em> more smut from Impulse \/ Synapse’s Roman Porno Collection.<\/p>\n
