Pink vs. Black

Tom Ley of Deadspin posted a link to what he called the best comedy and action film of the year.  I wholeheartedly agree that the film has just about everything. However, as good as it is, I still thought it was missing a very important aspect of any great movie… music.  As this TCM special about the 40-year collaboration between Steven Spielberg and John Williams points out, a composer can have just as much impact on a film as a director (and Williams may actually be the true genius behind Spielberg’s films).  Some of the pacing and cinematography in this otherwise exceptional piece of cinema is less than perfect. Music can help mask some of the flaws and keep the story flowing.

Hopefully you will enjoy this as much as I did.
