I've got another soundtrack review up here on James' blog. This time it's for Conspiracy Theory (1997), one of my favorite action movies. I first saw it as a freshman in college, and bought the soundtrack the following summer. I used to listen to a couple of my favorite tracks to psych myself up to go job-hunting, and later to boost my energy before heading off to the job I'd acquired as a Walmart cashier. That summer and this album are insolubly linked for me as a result.
Mel....Gibson....*faints*
ReplyDeleteEmma, YES! Much fainting. Mel Gibson is wonderful in this -- in need of many hugs. I totally recommend this movie -- there's a little bad language and a semi-scary torture scene, but no sex, nothing suggestive at all. It's beautiful.
DeleteI should listen to this sometime--seeing as how I'm taking a conspiracy theories class right now :)
ReplyDeleteJessica, that would be so appropriate! As would the movie as a whole, given the subject matter. I should review it here some time -- it's been a long time since I watched it.
DeleteSuch a great movie! I haven't seen it in a long time, but I should really buy that one now that I'm building my own video library (I tend to rely a lot on my parents donations and online availability for movies, but it's getting better bit by bit). I haven't heard the soundtrack without the movie before; I'll have to try it out.
ReplyDeleteHannah, yes! I love it dearly. I bought it for only $5, but that was a while ago -- I hope you can find it for your own library!
DeleteGreat soundtrack! Mel Gibson is ridiculously good in this film!
ReplyDeletePhyl, he really is. I need to rewatch it soon. Been too long!
