Hans Zimmer: The Man that Composes Awesomeness!

On Fridays I will be going to my iTunes and turning on shuffle and who ever is the artist of the song that plays will be the focus for the blog.


This weeks post is going to be about: Hans Zimmer
Hans Zimmer is an award winning German Composer with many famous films under his belt. Here is a list of a few that stood out to me:
  • Twister
  • Days of Thunder
  • The Lion King
  • Pearl Harbor
  • Pirates of the Caribbean Series
  • Batman Begins-The Dark Knight Rises
  • Inception
  • The Pacific
He has been making amazing music since 1977. In his 35 years he has released some amazing stuff. He has won awards for his scores in Inception, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, The Lion King, and much more. I have been a fan of his work since I bought the soundtrack for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. And from then on any movie that I saw with his score in it, I had to but the album. 

I have Batman Begins, Inception, The Dark Knight, Sherlock Holmes, The Pirates of the Caribbean Series, and even The Pacific. His music is so soothing and amazing. His music is actually what I listen to while I write these blogs everyday. I can listen to his music forever and it will never get old. And man I can't wait to see what he has in-store for The Dark Knight Rises.

And that is how my iTunes found him while it was on Shuffle!

TV show, hits or flops!

I've been trying to catch up and all the shows I missed this week so I wont be doing reviews today. There has been a lot of TV news that just surfaced in the past week. I'm hoping some of these news shows become a hit and the old stuff keep getting better. Alright, lets get into the news:
  • The Sons of Anarchy is set for another season. Hopefully it will be around for more the 5 seasons.
  • Fox is in talks about making a Zombieland TV show. In hopes to compete with The Walking Dead on AMC. Suppose to be like The Walking dead, but with some added humor.
  • The miniseries Band of Brothers and The Pacific is going to be released as a box set on November 8th. Will come in DVD and Blu-ray.
  • Fox is also pushing to do a Punisher TV show. You know the Marvel comics character that has had 3 movies including a remake. The character is getting a whole new makeover. "Frank Castle (aka The Punisher) as a detective with the New York City Police Department who takes to the streets in his off time, in search of justice as the vigilante known as The Punisher."
  • Speaking of The Walking Dead, AMC has announced that Season 3 of The Walking Dead is happening. Hopefully it will come out before next October.
  • Eddie Murphy has decided not to do a Beverly Hills Cop 4 and just do a Beverly Hills Cop TV show. Eddie will not be lead actor in the series. He will play Chief of Police and his son in the TV show will play the lead role.
That's all the TV news I have for today, feel free to leave a comment.

Until next time,
