Transformers 3 - Dark Of The Moon Movie Suite

Transformers 3 - Dark of The Moon Suite
Music by Steve Jablonsky

The latest Transformers is a sonic blockbuster, filled with aggressive themes, tweaked synthesizers, powerful percussion as well as a few dramatic moments to allow the listener to rest before the final juggernaut.  This is our first movie suite by Mr. Jablonsky, who earned his composer chops on many lesser known motion pictures since the early days of this century and some better known television scores. I promise that this will not be the final suite from him either, since we will be showcasing his work from the earlier Transformer pictures as well as a some others. With a timing of 30:40 this suite will leave you breathless, in a good way!  Hope you enjoy. -MJ

New Links For All Movie Suites

A comment of note!!

I must apologize to those of you who inadvertantly happened upon this situation, yet thank you to have brought this to my attention. Links have died. Well, it has finally happened, although I must say that it is only surprising that it took this long. Most of my Rapidshare links and MegaUpload links have been eradicated from their respective locations. Of course, this errant measure came as a complete surprise to myself, since noticing with dimished respect the serious issues at both file sites. Never worry, I will begin at once with a thorough investigation, before re-up loading each and every Movie Suite from the oldest to the newest on http://www.toucanshare.com/. This will be done as soon as possible. Stayed tuned. Thanks for listening. -Sir Malcolm James

PS - 08/2012 - Oh well, toucanshare.com barely lasted for a year and here we aare again looking for a file sharing site. Mediafire has some good reviews and the files will never be deleted. Okay, that's to be determined later. Never say never!

Captain America The First Avenger Movie Suite

Captain America The First Avenger Suite
Music by Alan Silvestri

Hang on, because even though this movie suite starts out slowly subdued, it quickly picks up steam.  The beginning reminds us of any other war picture with rising drums that build into the horns that are upbeat and tempestuous. When the main theme kicks in after a couple minutes, it slows us down for a brief moment before we suddenly surge into a driving intensity. The conclusion to this suite is "classic" Silvestri with blazing trumpets and the promise of more to come in the near future (a bit like Back To The Future).  With a timing of 27:28, you'll be certain to enjoy this one.  -MJ

Super 8 Movie Suite

Super 8 Suite
Music by Micael Giacchino

We have a recent blockbuster with a catchy main theme that you just can't stop humming.  Add to that the foreboding cues that accompany any mysterious Alien to the screen and we have a movie suite that is newly exciting yet sounds like a throwback to the 80's.  Mr. Giacchino has become one prolific composer in the last couple of years.  With an Oscar nod for his score in Up, to his latest rendition of the Star Trek franchise, he has shown his chops over and over again. Some say he has borrowed ideas from previous composers for the Super 8 score from the likes of John Williams, Grame Revell and others, but that may be jealousy talking because the final product is entertaining, energetic as well as enlightening.  What more could anyone ask of a movie suite?  With a timing of  33:46, it seems much quicker than it is and as always, I hope you enjoy.  -MJ

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Movie Suite, Part 2

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Suite, Part 2
Music by Alexandre Desplat

Here it is!  The final installment for the Harry Potter franchise.  Utilizing some of the familiar motifs and themes from earlier versions with plenty of new cues, we are presented with a relentless movie suite of power and conflict.  Mr. Desplat does not disappoint as he takes us on a journey that eventually brings the conclusion of good versus evil into the listeners ears and head.  I found that after multiple sessions, this really grows on you in so many ways.  Whether or not you are an H.P. fan, you should give this a listen.  With a timing of 32:06, I think you'll enjoy this one.  -MJ
