	A Tribute to Elvis Presley
		I'll leave it to others (see Part II) to describe Presley's early years and his achievement of the pinnacle of musical fame.
		Presley died of a heart attack the following year, most probably as a result of his drug use.
		While initial films such as G.I. Blues (1960), Blue Hawaii (1961), Viva Las Vegas (1964), and Roustabout (1964) did very well at the box office, attempts to duplicate their success only succeeded in eroding his image among critics and fans who weren't Presley fanatics.

		That is exactly what happened to the other Oi!, skinhead punk rock, a musical genre that many would say is moribund in its homeland today but is flourishing in the US through the work of bands such as the Anti-Heros, Dropkick Murphy’s and The Templars.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		And the closing musical number with Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger is an object lesson alongside the glib, unreflective cynicism and clunky set pieces of last year's Oscar-winning Chicago, which collapsed the 20s and the present only because it didn't care about either.
		Kudlacek judiciously selected from Deren's films and audio recordings and from the testimony of those who knew and worked with her to make one of this year's key documentaries.
		If I'd been working on the list a few days later, when I attended a press show of the soon to be rereleased The Battle of Algiers (1965), which I hadn't seen in decades, I probably would have included that as well.

	Examining Film Scoring Techniques in Films that Alter Space, Time and Death
		Richard Donner's 1978 Superman: The Movie was the first blockbuster to take full advantage of the public appetite for fantasy adventures ignited by the previous year's release of Star Wars [also scored by John Williams].

		However, careful observation of the music's role in a film and an understanding of a film's overall conceptual and dramatic goals can be juxtaposed to create an observable interaction between certain musical and plot features from which we may infer certain concepts the composer may have been working from.

	Daniel Amos : Spotlight on Daniel Amos
		The Doppelganger album’s musical and visual calling cards—split personalities, sculptures or mannequins that come to life, shadows, and chiaroscuro (which in film and theatre is a sharp light/dark contrast that evokes an aura of ghostliness)—were all favorite subjects of the German expressionist films of the 1920’s.

		But together these songs became a concept album accompanied with liner notes that tied all the songs together through a story about a man who was experiencing a series of strange phenommena (each subsequent edition of the Chronicles would contain a chapter of this ongoing story).
