Album Review
James Horner's score for The Spiderwick Chronicles is suitably dramatic, if not particularly inspired. It seems odd that the composer who also provided the evocative score for Titanic wouldn't use the opportunity of a children's fantasy film to create at least one memorable theme, but that seems to be the case here — unlike similar scores (John Williams' iconic music for the Harry Potter series comes to mind), there are no recurring movements on The Spiderwick Chronicles that signal or symbolize characters and plot twists. Despite its resemblance to some of Williams' more whimsical works, the score ends up feeling restrained and unable to keep up with the adventurous plot it's meant to accompany. The Spiderwick Chronicles sounds fine, but there isn't much heart in it.

Revisiting old pieces
by musicgalore04One of my favorite things to do at the opening credits of a movie is guess who the composer of the movie's score is. My first guess was John Williams but I knew it couldn't be because this movie was too lowkey for him. I decided to wait until I had heard more. It wasn't until the near end that I knew exactly who it was. If you follow the work of James Horner you would know it was him when you heard track 13 (Jared and Mulgarath Fight). The piano there is almost exactly the same as Casper which Horner composed in the 90's. Nothing about this score overly impressed me and I wish he hadn't revisited his beautiful score from Casper. But it is still a good score that makes the movie enjoyable. I do hope he works on more children's films in the future.
Sounds very familiar...
by looneyliI like the conductor's work, but does anyone else hear the resemblance to the Casper music? Music is good, but a little bit rough sometimes.
