...album is a variation on a theme, punctuated by less topical instrumentations, which include very literal motifs. An apt analogy would be to say that the artist has ceded to the architect. That is to say, Metheny has selflessly concealed his artistic biases to create a non-intrusive score for a film and not a masterpiece in and of itself. Still, it's quite possible to say that Metheny's work would not hinder the film nor offer it a crutch in times of despair. If A Map of the World succeeds, it will be more on its merits...
...sounds as though all of the elements for a great romance/mystery are here, and for the first 20 minutes of the film, they are. Drenched in period atmosphere (due in no small part to the smoky score by Michael Nyman and Roger Pratt's dark, haunting photography), the film seduces the viewer with Fiennes' bloodshot intensity and Jordan's creative visual ideas. One shot in particular stands out from this first act: the image of a lonely Bendrix mounting a spiral staircase intercut with flashbacks of Sarah seductively leading him up the same stairs to their conjugal hideaway.

If, at the very least, the Crimson can manage to keep the score close entering the final minutes of play, free throws could potentially be the difference down the stretch...
...weakness is play in its defensive zone. With a strong and daring offense, the Engineers rely on their ability to score goals to win games. But if the Crimson can hold RPI's offense at bay, Harvard's forwards can attack. RPI Senior goaltender Joel Laing leads a sturdy defense with a .900 save percentage, and a lackluster 3.85 goals-against average...
