Original Score

Mesmerizing, at times rhythmic, occasionally layered with non-traditional percussion and ...oh so listenable.

Any favorite songs out of the bunch?

Too many good pieces to choose--they are all great in their scenes.

Thomas Newman has done some amazing work, from The Shawshank Redemption to The Green Mile to Cinderella Man, and on and on.

I love Thomas Newman! He is an amazing composer. I loved his music in the film Meet Joe Black.

I couldn't take it seriously, it reminded me too much of the Bee Movie score
