The DaVinci Code
O.K., for starters, I saw this movie this weekend with Nicki and 2 friends, we had all read the book, and all of us liked it.
Let me also say that Hans Zimmer's score is EXCELLENT -- it's simple and never overstated (classic Zimmer), but it's got these really great, subtle compositional moments that are so effective... it creates the perfect atmosphere with the liberal use of the chorale, and the ethereal voice of my dear friend, Hila Plitmann.
I've mentioned Hila before on this blog, and many people know her as Extasis -- the lead role in Eric Whitacre's Paradise Lost. There's a great interview with Hila about her work on The DaVinci Code, that was aired on NPR -- you can listen to if you CLICK HERE. It makes me so happy that more and more people are hearing Hila's extraordinary voice and tremendous musical talent.
(A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to have her sing on one of my demos -- you can CLICK HERE to listen...)

Considering the terrible reviews it seemed to get, I'm glad I wasn't the ONLY person who liked it! :p
