...been a Bollywood icon for years, this man behind some of the most stunning movie soundtracks ever composed (chief among them the innovative score to Roja). But it's his music for this year's Oscar darling, Slumdog Millionaire that has made A.R. Rahman an instant hit with western audiences. Not only are sales of the soundtrack soaring as the film opens wide in Britain and the United States, but Rahman has been nominated for three Oscars - for best original score, as well as for the songs "O ... Saya" and "Jai Ho." (Read the behind-the-scenes story of Slumdog...
...arguably the last great burst of Motown creativity. Gordy, distracted by Hollywood, released two films starring Diana Ross - Mahogany and the Billie Holiday biopic Lady Sings the Blues. The 80s brought Rick James and Lionel Richie and The Big Chill - a white, yuppie film with an amazing Motown soundtrack ("Aint Too Proud To Beg" was reduced to dishwashing music).

Chess and Waters are the subjects of “Cadillac Records” from writer/director Darnell Martin. Along with a stellar cast and soundtrack, the film tells the semi-true story of Chess’s famed Chicago record label and the struggle of introducing the music of its black artists to the mainstream. Leonard Chess, played by Adrien Brody, is the not-so-typical lower-middle class white man who takes the plunge into...
...this war of words are researchers for Frost and staffers, headed Kevin Bacon as Jack Brennan, for Nixon.At the same time, true to its original stage play format, “Frost/Nixon” is a film driven by its acting and directing. At key moments, the soundtrack simply stops, and the performers are left alone before the audience. Langella and Sheen often accomplish with one facial tick what most actors fail to do with their entire bodies. Riveting to behold, “Frost/Nixon” is a wonderful exercise in toned-down storytelling that?...
