2012 So Far


So what are the scores to beat? I've only heard a few (The Grey, Safe House, The Lorax) and nothing's really blowing my skirt up just yet.

Anybody heard John Carter or The Hunger Games yet?

There's been a lot of mediocre ones, a few really good ones. I guess pretty standard for this time of year (we were spoiled last year when Powell's Dragon came out in Feb). Unfortunately, my two favourites I've heard in the past couple months aren't technically 2012 films at all (Young's Black Tulip and Horner's Black Gold). But here's some good ones that have come out, all of which are better than Grey, Safe House, and most of Lorax.

Journey 2
John Carter
Columbus Circle (might also not count as 2012, but an awesome Brian Tyler score nonetheless)
Perfect Sense
Being Flynn
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Act of Valor
Hunger Games

...and that's about it :P

Wow, thanks for the list! That'll keep me busy until the summer blockbusters start coming out in a couple months!

You're welcome! Also, add Mirror Mirror and Wrath of the Titans onto that list. Mirror was easily the most enjoyable thing Menken has done in a reeeeally long time....Titans I've only heard samples, but what I've been able to catch sounds freakin' awesome.

Navarete composed 'Wrath'? I still have fond memories of 'Pan's Labyrinth,' I'll give that one a try.

This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
