ScoreKeeper Is Giving Away Ten Copies Of The LEGION Soundtrack Autographed By Composer John Frizzell!!
Greetings! ScoreKeeper here peeking out from under the pile of stuff which I have been tasked to give away to loyal Ain't It Cool readers. If you keep up with my articles you may notice that I give away a fairly respectable amount of soundtrack CDs. Cool, right?
Well…something happened in 2010.
Apparently, "give away amazing CDs to Ain't It Cool readers" was on the New Year's resolution list for a lot of major soundtrack labels because I have been suddenly barraged with wheelbarrows full of soundtracks to hand out. What started off as a nice little niche interspersed amongst my score reviews and composer interviews has almost turned into a full-time job. Aren't you lucky?
No matter. I can handle it.
Usually I space out my contests and giveaways and only run one at a time. I can't do that right now. I've got so many with more on the way that I need to kick it up a notch.
First up to bat is John Frizzell who composed music for the diner-apocalypse extravaganza, LEGION (2010). I have a whopping TEN copies of the CD to give away courtesy of John Frizzell and La-La Land Records. What makes this particular giveaway even cooler is that they are all autographed by John himself!
So what do you have to do to enter?
Email me at scorekeeper@aintitcool.com using the subject: JOIN THE LEGION! and include your full name, mailing address, a valid email address, your favorite apocalyptic score, and your favorite John Frizzell score. The deadline will be Monday, February 1st, at 11:59PM EST. Only one entry per person please. International entries will be accepted. Duplicates will be discarded.
I will collect all of the entries and then randomly select ten lucky winners who will all be receiving one copy of the soundtrack CD for LEGION autographed by John Frizzell.
Don't miss out on this one. Send your entry in today!
For more information including audio samples and order placement please visit La-La Land Records.
Also, be sure to check out John Frizzell's new website HERE.

Wait, is this thing any good?

Hard to believe this flick really cost $24M, but I guess it all went to the actors. This is a low-budge little B movie masquerading as an A property.It's essentially a hodgepodge of Feast, The Prophecy and The Seventh Seal with a dash of Dogma thrown in. Unfortunately, it never bothers to really explain itself, unlike all those other films.we don't really know why God has decided to kill us all. There is no seminal event that has sparked that decision. We are never told what is so special about this child being born. It's almost as if The Seventh Seal is required viewing to provide some sort of explanation. Michael's motivation to protect humanity isn't particularly clear. Why, of all the thousands of angels, is he the only one to give a crap about humanity? Gabriel's motivation isn't fleshed out very well either. He's just a soldier following orders, but WHY he's like that isn't addressed.And if Angels can show up in full form and kick ass with their bullet-proof wings....why possess the bodies of people? How is a child corrupt enough to be subject to this possession?A lot of WTF situations like that. I had high hopes for this film but the thrown together script and the surprisingly small-scale nature of the story was dissapointing. As I say, The Prophecy was made 20 years ago for like $1M and this film is no bigger in effects or scope and that was very surprising. The trailer makes it look as though there is going to be a full-scale angel attack on Earth and we never see that.

the movie fucking SUCKED
-
this film kinda reminds me of that. or the kinda film john carpenter would have done 20 years ago. im sure it will be watchable enough but i dont expect it to fuck my eyeballs

Frizzel's Alien: Ressurection = MOST ANNOYING SCORE EVER
by nasty in the pasty
Frizell = John Debney/Joel McNeely...aka Mr. Temp Track.
-
That would have to be that stupid Dungeon Siege movie by Boll. It was like he was purposefully making the soundtrack annoying as fuck just to piss us off.Right behind that is Eyes Wide Shut with the fucking high piano key "pinging" all the fucking time.

Bouncing Angel...Triplicate Angel...Matter-Eater Angel.

Saw this and It's basically the Terminator with angels
by chuck_chuckwalla
And those angels bear a striking resemblance to Hawkman.
-
Since they won't post any.
-
Will make more money than the movie did. The movie is my pick for worst POS for 2010 until something else takes it's place.
-
By Roque Banos. Best score ever. My all time fav. If you even sort of like Bernard Herrmann, you've GOT to hear this.
-
That puts my ass in a seat right there.
-
Fucking sellouts. I love this site but this kind of shit gets on my nerves. Harry keeps saying that advertising has nothing to do with him or the reviews, but this is one coincidence too many.
I demand an official review or a logical explanation of why there are no reviews for this film.
This is a time when AICN should have at least one official review of every new release.
RIOT!!!! -
Are you kidding me? You seriously need a review of this movie to know it's shit? Maybe I'm just a complete snob (well, yes), but it looks pretty fucking obvious to me that if I were to see this movie, I'd be pissed at the waste of time and money.
-
This looks like the kind of film where SOMEONE at AICN would proclaim it as being "Awesome" with some "kickass fight scenes" or something. I'm always surprised by the disconnect bt AICN and real critics on certain films, and seeing AICN's review can sometimes temper my own expectations. This film looks like shit to me, but I really wanted to hear what AICN had to say about it, since they posted so many stories and at least one interview about the movie.
-
But is he related to country singers Lefty and David Frizzell? Does anyone know?
-
God is Skynet. Gabriel is the T-1000, Michael is the 'good' angel — the reprogrammed T-800. The pregnant chick is Sarah Conner and the kid she's carrying is John Conner. Hell, there was even a scene where Michael stretches out his hand to save one of the humans from a burning car and he could have said the classic line: "Come with me if you want to live." It also has Charles S. Dutton in there, basically playing the same character he played in Alien 3. As a movie, it's a piece of shit, but I think it will be considered a fun piece of shit. Paul Bettany is actually really fucking good in this. Another observation: as I was watching I felt like it could almost work as the prequel to The Book of Eli.
-
I totally agree with you. This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. The Prophecy is so beyond this POS. When Micheal re-appeared after "dying", people in the audience (all 12 of them) started laughing.
-
Save your time and cash folks
-
Good times would be had at a Saturday Nite blu ray screening with a case of beer and friends who appreciate transcendent awfulness.
-
quite good, I agree. He was very good (as always, looking forward to Darwin) and Gabriel wasn't bad. The rest...crap.
-
...but, hey, free soundtrack. Why not?
Still, it's sad that John Frizzell gets stuck with crappy horror/thrillers. JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS was on this morning. It reminded me of his enjoyable (and hilarious) score. He ought to do more movies like that and less like LEGION...though I hear he's doing the SINGLE WHITE FEMALE ripoff THE ROOMMATE, so I suppose we'll see. -
Sadly Legion was not that movie. There were some serious editing errors (or bad story choices take your pick). It just seems odd to me that this group of diner defenders would start shooting at people from the roof cause the angel told em to, then ask why and then act incredulous when the explanation is offered.
The dialogue is a little too on the nose sometimes in terms of exposition and explaining the charaters' motivations i.e. "I don't know what book you read, but in my book the angels are the good guys." The end attempts to be a Terminator homage but ends up looking like a rip off. I liken this movie to the Prophecy with Christopher Walken, but that was way better if no other reason than it had Christopher Walken (the rest was kind of meh). Anyways, I reccomend waiting for this one to come on Spike or FX or whatever. -
Then this would have been great. Instead, it's another less-than-subtle attack on Judeo-Christian beliefs, with the central theme being that God is the villain and men should put their trust in fallen angels. Welcome to Hollywood 2010, where they'll green light anything anti-Christian.
-
...is that they even reference the God of the Christian faith at all. Why not come up with a fictitious deity and then ascribe Him some angelic bad@$$es? What's the point of referencing anything Christian if you're going to invert and completely depart from the fundamental precepts of the belief system? Aren't you just begging for a sizable portion of the population to get offended and boycott it? Wouldn't it make more sense to try to avoid offending and alienating over a third of your intended audience?
-
Yes Paul Bettany's good in it but the majority of the movie is really about the uninteresting people in the dinner pairing off and talking about their sad sad lives before getting taken out without another thought.
Felt more like a really bad Direct-to-DVD film.
