John Williams - Rey's Theme mini review

rey's theme

Rey's Theme from the soundtrack to Star Wars The Force Awakens is quickly becoming a fan favourite.  Track number six on the album, the music takes a change of pace from the opening tracks with ascending strings and woodwind melody that will evoke emotions similar to the Force theme from previous Star Wars movies.  The theme is featured earlier in The Force Awakens soundtrack and is first heard in track two, The Scavenger.  I suspect that this piece will feature again in episode VIII and could easily become one of the principle pieces to the new trilogy.

The piece reminds me of previous soundtracks, especially The Terminal and War Horse with a hint of Harry Potter.  It really is the stand out piece on the soundtrack with a third motif that will leave you smiling.  You can listen to the piece below.  The track is 3 minutes 12 seconds long.  Let me know if you enjoy the track.



Coming up next we will have a review of track ten on the soundtrack to Star Wars The Force Awakens, Finn's Confession.

    Big fan of Rey's Theme. I particularly like how it appears to be built on the same chord sequence as the Force Theme which allows Williams to mix them together with ease.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

By
Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie.  It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen.  First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne.  Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened.  It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut.  One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door.  Why the sudden cut?  It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions.  Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist?  Watch the clip below to see the cut...
