Free Music Notes for Grosse Pointe Blank: Music From The Film
Free Music Review: Great songs for those of us who grew up in the '80s
Hit: 3 Stars
While some movie soundtracks often contain music not actually shown in the film (i.e. Escape from L.A.), this one actually does. The mix of Johnny Nash's "I can see clearly now" and Guns N' Roses "Live & Let Die" does capture music from memorable moments from the movie. Pete Townshend's "Let My Love Open the Door" (E. Cola Mix) may be better release than the original version. However, this album is missing on a few songs. Nena's "99 Luftballons" would have a been a brilliant addition. And I could have lived without the Violent Femmes's "Blister 2000" (which I don't remember in the movie). Nevertheless, this soundtrack is worthy of purchase and since they couldn't get all the songs on to one album the record company decided on a second soundtrack which I cannot comment on since I don't own it...yet.Free Music Review: Almost as good as the movie.
Hit: 3 Stars
This is a random mix of 80's songs, that I find to be half excellent, and half ok. The better tracks in my opinion are "Blister In The Sun", "Rudie Can't Fail", "Mirror In The Bathroom", and "We Care Alot". I also really like the song from "Pete Townshend". However, I don't think we really needed two tracks from "The Clash", and two versions of "Blister In The Sun". "Live And Let Die" also gets on my nerves. But if you're a fan of the movie, or most of these songs, then you can't fail with "Grosse Pointe Blank".Free Music Review: Wonderful, quitrky and fun.....(3.5 stars)
Hit: 3 Stars
This is a great soundtrack that really captures the sprit and style of the movie. The songs are commercialized punk and reggae mostly from the 80's that are light hearted and fun. Blister in the Sun, Mirror in the Bathroom, Under Pressure, I Can See Clearly Now, Live and Let Die, and Let My Love Open the Door, are all ditties that we know and are popular for a reason. We Care A Lot by the Faith No More is a great as well and Rudy Can't Fail is sub par Clash fare. Overall the order of songs and the selection amount to great soundtrack that is light and easy to listen to.Free Music Review: UTTER CRAP - DON'T DO IT!
Hit: 1 Stars
The soundtrack for Gross Pointe Blank was a great one, featuring some of the more mainstream hits of the 80s and quite a few of the harder-to-find club hits. However, THIS STUPID CD is not a complete soundtrack for the film. You will only find the pop songs on this CD. You will not find even ONE of the rarer tracks you may have been looking for and expected to find. Whomever the idiot was who decided which cuts to put on the CD needs to look at available compilations. I think you can find most of this over-played CRAP on about a HUNDRED other available compilations. Just another example of how Hollywood and the mainstream music industry generally refuses to take ANY risks at all, and doesn't really have a CLUE as to what's cool and what's not. It's truly amazing that some of the cooler songs made it into the film. How sad that the tuned-in genius who picked those songs didn't get to choose what went into the CD. Enjoy the CRAP!
