Chumscrubbing Old Boys...

Tonight, Luke and I had our weekly gathering of Bob Evans and some movies.
Tonight's features were Old Boy and The Chumscrubber.
Old Boy is a Korean film with a Quentin Tarantino style to it.
It was exciting, clever, and bizarre all in one sha-bang.
It had a nice twist too, as most films of that genre do.

The Chumscrubber is a film I've been wanting to see for a few months now.
Mainly because James Horner scored it.
But also because I have a fetish for suburban type movies.
You know, films like American Beauty, Life as a House and Edward Scissorhands.
The Chumscrubber is, in the simplest terms, bizarre.
But in a rather good way.
Much of it seemed farfetched, but I was willing to but into it.
The score was haunting.
James Horner hasn't scored like this in a long while.
I heard some "flashback" orchestration that resembled some parts in Field of Dreams.
I was excited to hear that kind of music from my idol.
That's the James Horner music I remember falling in love with.

So far, I've been getting some good responses to my new song, "Rise Of The Sun."
Beth seemed to find the piece enjoyable.
And I was surprised to hear how much Luke enjoyed it.
I also got a comments from some MySpace friends.
