Kinotes08 The Lord of the Rings / The Rings of Power: Side by Side - Part IIIn this two-part Kinotes series, we look at Bear McCreary’s work on the new “Lord of the Rings” TV show, THE RINGS OF POWER as it relates to Howard Shore’s expansive score for the LORD OF THE RINGS film trilogy.

Kinotes05 The Conversation / Blow Up / Blow Out: A Film TriptychAfter a hiatus, we're back with an episode about my favorite film of all-time: Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 paranoid thriller, THE CONVERSATION.
THE CONVERSATION has a special relationship with two other films: Antonioni's BLOW UP, which preceded and inspired it, and Brian De Palma's BLOW OUT, which is influenced by both movies.
This episode explores the interconnection between the three through their music, sound design, and especially their thematic interests which include reality, perception, truth, and privacy.
Naturally SPOILERS for the three movies, which do have some surprising twists and turns. I'm also including a s...
