Shout out too for Daniel Pemberton who provided an outstanding score for
‘Being The Ricardos.’ He deliberately adopted a more lyrical style in
keeping with the period. He ought to do it more often as I found it
captivating. Pemberton is usually a ‘soundscape’ kind of guy in the manner
of Mr Zimmer.

I didn’t enjoy Power of The Dog. It was way too slow and predictable.
The same goes for “Don’t Look Up” and “Dune.” I want to see Belfast. The
trailer for “Tick Tick Boom” is amazing and I loved “Being The Ricardos”
although neither was nominated for Best Picture.

The two films I enjoyed the most in recent months are
"Passing" and "The Dig."
Wondering if anyone has seen "Nightmare Alley." I found it to be ugly,
gruesome and
nihilistic. The 1947 film is far superior, esp. that wonderful
cinematography. I liked
"Being The Ricardos." Bardem was a very pleasant surprise. There was a lot
of
controversy regarding a non-Cuban being cast. I thought he was
outstanding. Saw
"Tick, Tick Boom". If you like watching a manic narcissist for two hours,
it will thrill
you. I thought Garfield was much better in "The Eyes Of Tammy Faye."
Chastain
was terrific. I think she has an excellent shot at winning the Oscar.
"Drive My Car"
will be shown next week. I am looking forward to it. Got the best reviews
of the
10 nominated films. Warning: it runs three hours.

Thanks Ed. I guess nobody else has recorded "Nobody Has A Better Dream
Than Me"? Google just gives a bio of Tom that mentions the unreleased
Sinatra record.
Have you seen "Belfast ?" Van Morrison music is the dominant sound
throughout.
Yes I thought it was a very good movie, and a couple of Sinatra references
if my memory serves (the kid mentioning wanting to see "Robin and the 7
Hoods", and a copy of "Come Fly With Me" next to a record player)
Richard
And when the kid mentions "Robin & 7 Hoods," he is told it
is a musical. Doesn't buy it.
But they skip it. Outstanding film. A frontrunner to win best picture with
"Power Of The Dog" right
there, too. "Drive My Car" is the dark horse. We shall see.

Was just listening to Leo Green guest hosting The Clare Teal Show (Jazz
FM, February 13th)
Of Van Morrison's "Moondance", he claims "I'm even reliably informed that
Frank Sinatra made a recording of this song, which featured Harry Edison on
trumpet, but unfortunately his version has never been released".
Has anyone ever heard of this?
Richard
I have all of the Reprise work sheets, catalog with master
numbers, full page of unissued recordings.
There is nothing. I interviewed quite a few musicians who worked many
Reprise sessions. Never a mention.
But anything is possible. Frank did record Tom Shapiro's "Nobody Has A
Better Dream Than Me." Song was
intended for "Trilogy." Frank did 19 takes. Bob Gaudio is a close friend
of Tom's. He had me contact him. Tom
gave me a detailed description of what transpired. And there are other sub
rosa efforts.
Have you seen "Belfast ?" Van Morrison music is the dominant
sound throughout.
