Read MoreIt's a cruel world. If you didn't already know this, just check out the "first look" at Inherent Vice from Paul Thomas Anderson. The image of Joaquin Phoenix as burnout SoCal detective Doc Sportello, created by Thomas Pynchon in the novel of the same name, is teeny-tiny. (It's not unlike our first real look at…
Read MorePaul Thomas Anderson and Jonny Greenwood are working together again. I can't quite think of Greenwood's music as fun -- the Radiohead guitarist and occasional film composer creates sounds that are deeply affecting and even cacophonously emotional, but not "fun," exactly. Anderson is also not exactly a poster child for levity. Yet his new film…
Read MoreThe Master opens in limited release on Friday, but one of the most anticipated aspects of the film -- Jonny Greenwood's score -- can now be enjoyed in full.

Read MorePaul Thomas Anderson's latest film, The Master, is one short month away. For limited cities at least.

Ron Hubbard. The movie stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as the title character, with Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams,…
Read MoreBriefly: It's taken some time, but American audiences will finally get their chance to see Tran Anh Hung's nostalgic romance Norwegian Wood. We first wrote about the project way back in 2009, and the finished film hit the festival circuit to positive reviews in fall 2010. But for whatever reason, the movie never quite made…
Read MoreThe name Lynne Ramsay may not ring any bells right now, but the talent she's been surrounding herself with for her next project indicates that this could change very soon. Ramsay wrote and is currently in the midst of directing We Need To Talk About Kevin, based on the novel by Lionel Shriver about a…
Read More"Damn." Let's hope this isn't a sign of things to come in regards to the Academy Awards for Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood: Jonny Greenwood's feted instrumental soundtrack for the film, seen as a shoe-in for Best Original Score, has been officially disqualified. The reason? The score contains preexisting music. Red Carpet District…
Read MoreIf you've read any reviews for Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood, than you've heard about Jonny Greenwood's incredible score. Music enthusiasts know Greenwood as z multi-instrumentalist and lead guitarist for Radiohead. Greenwood's Blood score is everything you might expect it to be.
