More scenes from The Jazz Singer

Yeah I need to put this movie on the needs list. I'd like to see how "talking" scenes were effectively integrated into this film. There wasn't a lot of dialogue in the movie but there was a lot of singing. It almost looks like a modern film when ever we hear dialogue and singing.

Star Trek Music Re-recorded

I did it for the Doctor Who theme although that video is no longer available. Check out another rendition of a classic theme.

The Flash TV series intro

There are a couple of other superhero movies coming out with Incredible Hulk and Batman with movies coming out. There was also Iron Man within the last two months. And this vid that I've posted here well there isn't likely a movie featuring him coming out anytime soon.

In the early 1990s there as a TV series based on the DC Comics character The Flash. I could tell it aired on CBS, it seems like that type of show. I'm sure you'll love the theme music and the action packed intro. It's too bad the program didn't last but a single season. If there is ever a movie for this character that they should use the theme composed by Danny Elfman.

Jon Pertwee - Kung Fu Fighting!

Clips of Jon Pertwee engaging in some fight scene during his time as Doctor Who with background music from a classic 1970s songs. It's both hilarious and exhilarating.

Star Trek:Enterprise Intro

Personally I love this show, although many Star Trek fans will lament how this series messed with continuity. There are certainly some things I didn't agree with but I thought this was a worthwhile experiment. I was disappointed when after 4 seasons this series was cancelled.

While this post was titled Star Trek: Enterprise, I still refer to this series as simply Enterprise. Enterprise was this series' original title until the third season when Star Trek was added to it. Now I want to just go out and find a DVD set since the series isn't even running in syndication anymore these days!

Oh and this intro is an intro I liked better than the one used during the first two seasons. The tempo if much faster than the slower pace of the tune of the first two seasons. It feels a lot more optimistic than it did in the first two seasons. Almost as if the crew of the starship Enterprise is a lot more confident about their mission!

Playing Doctor Who theme



Sometimes I wish I had learned to play music so I can do about what this man does. Play his version of the Doctor Who theme on his keyboard. I'll let him describe how he does it...
A quick video of me playing the Doctor Who theme. Bottom left is the bassline, and top right is the melody.

8 Mile

Well I had to watch this one at TV-Links as well. Of course it helps that I am an Eminem fan. The movie is all about the flows and rhymes. Why else would you hear about nothing but people rapping in this movie. I consider this a musical as I would a drama. Not a lot of singing and dancing though a lot of rapping and we all agree rap is a musical form, right?

Got a late night at home watch "Rabbit", Eminem's character, deal with life and starts to grow with his talent. Even leaves a foe speechless at a flow contest near the end of the film. Then after that goes back to work at his plant.

Since I had to see this online, I think this film shall go onto the needs list.

Doctor Who Theme-BBC National Orchestra of Wales

Know anything about me and know that I'm a big fan of film scores. If you find my music collection it will be dominated by film and TV soundtracks from some of my favorite movies and TV programs.

I share one with you. The BBC's orchestra gives its rendition of the Doctor Who theme. Totally brass, percussion and strings. No electronic, synthesized music and it should stir up the adventure in you. Enjoy!

Hmm, I wish that in the next Star Trek movie someone can give such a rendition of the original Star Trek theme by Alexander Courage. Can't wait!
