I watched 42 minutes of it and got into the movie and it stopped. Something wrong with it. Now I'll have to find a way to watch the rest.

I thought The Soloist was a really good movie

I forget to list the soloist, I read the book first..great story

Knew it was based off a real story, forgot there was a book though. Will definitely have to read that sometime.

Well, one upcoming one that has me interested is A Late Quartet --

http://www.youtube.com/watch?f.....X66lRnNmqs

The music is mostly symbolic in that it moves along the story beats and the Beethoven piece they play is representative of the group dynamic, though I admit I'm a little bothered by the fact that the trailer practically gives away the metaphor in one blow... but then being someone who works in the movie industry, I have to say I'm used to the idea of a trailer basically giving away everything.

I'm totally in the Halloween Spirit right now! How about Young Frankenstein!

I love the violin part in the song Transylvania Lullaby which they play to lure the "monster" back!

Especially this close the Halloween, one of my fave music movies would have to be Mephisto Waltz, from back in the 70s. I'll have to dig out the DVD and watch it. Probably Young Frankenstein as well. Err.. Frahnk-en-shteen. Whatever.

I guess "Frahnk-en-shteen" is much better then..........."Frau Blücher" (listens for horses!)
