HLS Movie Awards Nominees : Best Score

     Welcome back to HLS Movie Awards Nominee lists this time we are covering film scores. Scores are a very hard thing to recommend to people to listen to, so in this list I am going to try to describe the general vibe and quickly talk about each and then provide a Spotify link to where you can listen to them yourself! As always this will be in alphabetical order not in a ranking.

Da 5 Bloods- Composer: Terence Blanchard 

    This one is weird for me because if you read by Top Movies of 2020 blogs you ight remember I am not a fan of this movie, it was fine it just had too many obvious issues in it to ignore meanwhile it gets propped up just for being a Spike Lee joint. This score is 10x better than the entire movie itself. Delroy Lindo and Terence Blanchard deserve award nominations not Spike. Here is the link to listen on Spotify

Greyhound- Composer: Blake Neely

    Greyhound has one of the best heroic scores we have had in decades, I absolutely adored it. I need Blake Neely doing superhero films. Here is the link to listen on Spotify

The Invisible Man- Composer: Benjamin Wallfisch

    This is a eerie creepy vibe that really elevated the movie. Here is the link to listen on Spotify

Mank- Composers: Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor 

    This score feels like a blast from the past filled with classic 30s-40s musical tones that we have all seen in older movies or movies set in the past but with just excellent flavor that really fit the movie perfectly. Here is the link to listen on Spotify

News of the World- Composer: James Newton Howard

    Something that I love about this score is the classic hymn undertones and themes that play out and repeat throughout the score, it has a since of familiarity while bringing you something new. Here is the link to listen on Spotify

Soul- Composers: Jon Batiste, Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor

I want to give a special shout out to Jon Batiste because he does the beginning to the score for Soul and it is easily the most beautiful part of the entire movie, this would have been an easy run away if he did the entire movie. This is not a shot at Atticus Ross or Trent Reznor, there is a reason they are on here multiple times. Here is the link to listen on Spotify

 Tenet- Composer: Ludwig Goransson

    This movie's score is probably one of the more unique ones on this list because of its brunt nature in parts as well as the style and instruments used are just so different from the rest of the field. Ludwig Goransson is one of the fastest up coming composers out there right now after doing Black Panther, Venom, Creed 2, Mandalorian and now Tenet. Here is the link to listen on Spotify

HLS Movie Awards 2021: Streaming Award Nominees

Image
     Welcome back to HLS Entertainment! Today we are going to be doing two things, discuss the nominees for the third annual HLS Movie Awards Streaming Award and discuss the schedule for the HLS Movie Awards. The Streaming Award honors the streaming service that had the best year putting out films, and schedule will be breaking down when to expect every blog of the Top 115 Movies of 2021 and the award nominations!     Last year was the first time we decided to add the Streaming Award because 2020 was a year that had most film fans locked away at home and had movie theaters closed. Where did this leave the piles of movies set to come out? Well, the biggest were shifted around on the movie release schedule, meanwhile the smaller non blockbuster films were either shelved, put on demand for rent, or their rights were bought up by streaming services. 2020 put us in a unique situation of having more access to higher quality films easier than normal years, and this has...

HLS Movie Awards Top 160 Movies of 2022 Part 2! 100-51

Image
    Welcome back to the HLS Movie Awards! Today we are going through the Top 160 movies of 2022, and this list shall cover 100 thought 51. This is a really weird chunk of the list because as you will see, there are a LOT of good movies here. I have been calling it for a long time that 2022 will be an all-time year of film and I think this section really shows it. So many times, even for myself, as I wrote out names I was like "__ is this low?" but there were just that many good movies this year. Tons of big blockbusters, horror and a resurgence of really good romcoms are in this section and I hope you get to check them out! Well anyway I won't waste too much more time you know how this goes!     Real quick,  like always with every movie I am going to be putting what I personally think is the safest grading scale there is, the IMDB user rating score. Here is a simple breakdown of what their 0.0-10 grading scale means: 0.1-5.0  = Horrible waste of t...
