John Powers' review of Kill Bill in the Orange County Weekly is well written, thoughtful and builds the anticipation until the film's Australian release on October 16th.

Mick LaSalle & Steven Winn have an excellent article,.'Schwarzenegger's biggest role yet', on the history of Arnie and the future of Terminal Politics (which could very well go all the way to the Whitehouse now that proposals are afoot to remove the native-born clause for the US Presidency!).

The New York Times has a fascinating article on how computer game scores are becoming as symphononic and complex as feature film scores and if we look at Howard Shore's operatic approach of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, this can only be a good thing!

In other score-related freebieness, Rob Duncan, who composed the score music for most of Buffy's season seven has released a number of score tracks on his website. While I'm impressed that he's gone to the trouble to distribute them for the fans, I've got to say, this score music isn't a patch on Christophe Beck's amazing work on seasons two, three and bits of four (especially Hush), five (The Gift) and six (where he put Once More With Feeling together with Joss Whedon).
