The Holiday - Hans Zimmer

The Holiday - Hans Zimmer

For this Nancy Meyers-directed romantic comedy, Hans Zimmer serves up a breezy score quite ... more

different from the more heavy-duty works he's
become known for. This may have something to do
with the film's tone, of course, but also with the
fact that Zimmer has sole credit on only two cues,
having co-written the others with members of his
extensive stable of helpers, including guitarist
Heitor Pereira and even pop artist Imogen Heap
(who also contributes wordless vocals in addition
to getting writing credits on three tracks). In
the film, Jack Black's character is a composer who
namedrops Ennio Morricone; Zimmer steps up to the
challenge with the opening track, "Maestro" (one
of his solo compositions), which evidently seeks
to emulate the romantic sweep of some of
Morricone's scores and nearly succeeds. (This may
sound like a criticism but getting near Morricone
level is nothing to sneeze at.) A little later
"Verso e Prosa," a collaboration between Pereira
and Herb Alpert --who contributes his immediately
identifiable trumpet--also stands out. If the rest
of the CD had shown as much spirited zest as these
two tracks, the album could have become a prized
addition to any soundtrack lover's library; alas,
the other cues are too devoid of personality to
make a lasting impression. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

The Holiday, It's Surprisingly Good!

Advantages: Highly enjoyable "rom-com"
Disadvantages: hmm...can't think of any!

I went to see the romantic comedy The Holiday with fairly low expectations as the genre is very hit or miss for me. Whenever I see a trailer for a new "rom-com" as they are sometimes called nowadays, my heart does a simultaneous leap and lurch movement. I love many films that have made this Hollywood genre become such a staple in recent years. But for every Sleepless in Seattle or Bridget Jones' Diary, there is some wishy-washy yawn fest ...
...I'm finicky with regards to the manner in which my heartstrings are tugged and my funny bone simultaneously tingled. Meg Ryan, yes, Julia Roberts, no thanks. And so I ventured into this film on a mother daughter attempt to avoid Christmas shopping madness with some trepidation.

The film is set up with the two parallel female leads, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. Kate plays Iris, a newspaper writer in London. She is shown writing the ... more

***XMAS REVIEW*** A FESTIVE BREAK

Advantages: funny, sweet, romantic, an interesting premise
Disadvantages: mixed bag of performances, perhaps too cheesy at times?

When I first saw the trailers for "The Holiday" prior to its cinema release in 2006, I actually had just read a book called "Lifeswap" by Jane Green, about two women on either side of the Atlantic who swapped houses and lives - I thought this film was an adaptation of that book. After reading a couple of reviews of it at the time, I quickly realised it wasn't, but the premise of it was similar enough to intrigue me further, as well as the fact that ...
...all, it is set over the Christmas period, and has "feel good" and "cheesy" stamped all over it. You know it all has to work out in the end - this is Hollywood after all, how often do you get an unhappy ending? - but it is the events that unfold and the progression of the characters that keeps you watching all the same. Iris (Kate Winslet) and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) couldn't be more different - one is an English journalist suffering from the affliction ...

So it was strange when I sat down to watch The Holiday on Sunday night that I was doing it purely on the recommendation of my ex girlfriend. As we’d had pretty similar taste in movies I thought there was a good chance I would enjoy The Holiday. It never really appealed to me while it was at the cinema but I decided that I wanted something simple to ...
...Arthur (Eli Wallach) and along the way starts to also see Amanda’s ex partner’s best friend, Miles (Jack Black). From there the film explores the relationships in both parts of the world. While it’s not my normal genre of films I felt that The Holiday was a reasonable film that did exactly what it was designed to do. While it isn’t the best romantic comedy I’ve ever seen it works quite well and other than some very silly moments, which seem to be ...

Advantages: Funny, sweet, sad in places but FULL of Romance!!!!
Disadvantages: Hmm. Wish I'd watched it at christmas.

The Holiday (2006) All this waiting around to go into labour has to be spent doing something, and the something I've spent most of it doing (not including sleeping, you understand, which I have become quite amazingly good at doing at all the wring times of day…) is watching films.

Advantages: Believable storyline, okay cast, great soundtrack
Disadvantages: England comes off badly! Works on stereotypes

The Holiday PLOT Two women, lives in crisis thanks to the men in them, decide to swap homes for the Christmas period. Each then go on to meet a different, local man and develop varying degrees of attraction. Iris (Kate Winslet) is a reporter for the Telegraph. She lives in a little cottage, in a tiny hamlet, in Surrey - it's a very stereotypical looking English cottage in the middle of English country side and a nearby small village. If it wasn't ...
...lover Jasper in England. (Cue the 'this house is so big' scene that was inevitable) Over the next two weeks she meets several of the locals, developing a great friendship with an old man, Arthur Abbott (Eli Wallach). It turns out he's more than just a frail old man, he used to be a movie author in the time when Hollywood was about more than just Box Office ratings. He teaches her a lot, and together they prepare him for an award ceremony in his honour. ...

Last Holiday: Wonderful comedy with powerful moral!

Advantages: Brilliant moral lesson to be earned out of the movie- MINUS the intense heavy and boring stuff!
Disadvantages: Not as Romantic as I expected!

. Personally, I think that this is the scene which englobes the whole moral behind 'Last Holiday'. DVD Extras : 1) The Last Holiday Packing Light: This feature provides a description about how the film was born, and what lead the team to create this movie. There are interviews and comments of the Laurence Mark, the Producer, Queen Latifah and L.L Cool J, the lead actors and Wayne Wang the Director. The interviews are occasionally accentuated by some cuts in the movie, such as the scenes where Georgia faints and the shopping scene. In his interview, the Director speaks about how he wanted to lay emphasis on how Miss Byrd gives up her fears to live life- and this is highlighted by the scene where Queen Latifah sky-dives from the dam. Wang adds how he was swayed to produce this movie upon seeing Latifah?s passion for Last Holiday. In ...

Review of Last Holiday (DVD)

We're all going on a - oh! you know the rest!

Advantages: A good happy go lucky musical film
Disadvantages: By it's nature it's very lightweight

, of his musical films, this is the arguably the one with the best music. As I say I first saw the film at the cinema in 1963 when I was just 8 years old. I have since watched it a few times on the TV and now have the DVD. The film follows the adventures of a group of four young mechanics who work for London Transport as they go on holiday to tour Europe in one of the red London double decker buses. They are fed up of the rain in England and so they modify a London Transport bus to make it into living accommodation for their holiday and off they go. On their travels they come across three girls, led by Una Stubbs, whose car has broken down. The girls are singers who are on their way to a gig so the boys offer them a lift. At this point a young boy stowaway also boards the bus. The film continues following the relationships between ...

Review of Summer Holiday (DVD)

Not my kind of holiday!

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

I would just like to write a reviewon the DVD of Mr Beans' Holiday, the main character of which we are all familiar with no doubt. You all know of Mr Bean, from the short series and cartoon versions that have been shown in the last few years or so. This film is actually the second that Rowan Atkinson has done in the form of Bean, the first one being when he went to America in order to unveil the new painting of Whistlers' Mother. But anyway, that is enough on that one as this is a new one. The basics of the story are hat Mr Bean wins a holiday to Cannes at a local church village fete, but it just so happens to be when the Cannes Film Festival is on. During his train journey through France, he meets many people; films his journey; supposedly kidnaps a young boy (but only because his dad failed to get on the train - his dad is also ...
