(via Theme from “The Young and the Restless" (“Lost") — Long Version)

"Nadia's Theme", originally titled "Cotton's Dream", is a piece of music composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. in 1971. It was originally used as incidental music for the 1971 film Bless the Beasts and Children, and is better known as the theme music to the television soap opera The Young and the Restless since the series premiered in 1973. "Cotton's Dream" was renamed "Nadia's Theme" after it became associated with Olympic gymnast Nadia Comăneci during and after the 1976 Summer Olympics.

Dimensione Terrore

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo siamo finalmente tornati a parlare di horror e l’abbiamo fatto con un’opera indipendente davvero molto peculiare che univa la commedia agli elementi horror, Benny Loves You. La storia parla di Jack, un uomo di 35 anni incapace di gestire la propria vita e che vive con i genitori. Quando quest’ultimi muoiono in un incidente, Jack…

George C. Scott in The Exorcist III (William Peter Blatty, 1990)

Cast: George C. Scott, Ed Flanders, Brad Dourif, Jason Miller, Nicol Williamson, Scott Wilson, Nancy Fish, Tracy Thorne, Barbara Baxley, Harry Carey Jr., Mary Jackson, Zohra Lampert, Viveca Lindfors. Screenplay: William Peter Blatty, based on his novel. Cinematography: Gerry Fisher. Production design: Leslie Dilley. Film editing: Peter Lee-Thompson, Todd C. Ramsay. Music: Barry De Vorzon. 

I am no great fan of The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973), so I couldn't be expected to like The Exorcist III very much. It's an inchoate movie, made by a writer-director who has a lot of interesting ideas, which he sometimes accomplishes, but he doesn't quite know how to put them together. The premise is that a priest, Father Dyer (Ed Flanders), and a police lieutenant, William Kinderman (George C. Scott), who were close to Father Karras (Jason Miller), the exorcist of the first film, meet on the 15th anniversary of his death. Within a few days Father Dyer is hospitalized and then murdered in a peculiarly unusual way, neatly drained of his blood while in his hospital bed. Investigating the death of his friend, Kinderman interviews hospital staff, including the chain-smoking head of the psychiatric ward, Dr. Temple (Scott Wilson), who gives him access to the most securely guarded inmates. One of them has been institutionalized there for 15 years after being found wandering the streets of the city. After claiming amnesia and lapsing into catatonia, he suddenly turned violent and began to claim that he was James Venamun, who had been executed 15 years earlier as the serial killer known as Gemini. There have been recent murders that strikingly resemble those of Gemini, so Kinderman is allowed to interview the patient, whom he recognizes as the long-dead Father Karras. During the course of the interview, however, the patient changes form to resemble Venamun (Brad Dourif). Further deaths follow, and Kinderman's own family is threatened before he begins to figure out what in the literal hell is going on. The problem is that there are two or three movies going on here at once. One involves the mystery of Father Karras, and another the story of Gemini, and of course the whole thing is tied back to the demonic possession premise of the original The Exorcist. Blatty hadn't planned to include an exorcism in the film, which is based on his novel Legion, but the producers insisted, so a priest called Father Morning (Nicol Williamson) is awkwardly inserted into the story to do a big effects-laden exorcism scene. It fits oddly with the slow, moody pace of much of Blatty's film, and finally turns out to be the wrong way to deal with the problem anyway. There's a good deal of overacting in the movie -- Scott was nominated for a Razzie as worst actor, though Williamson, Dourif, and Miller do their share of hamming it up too. Blatty does accomplish one good jump scare scene in the film, effectively using sound and camera placement, and there's a well-done sequence in which Kinderman races to save the lives of his family, so it's not a total misfire.

"The Warriors" (1979): Caste System and Killer Music

Hard to fathom that a flick about a ration of reprobates running for their lives from an onslaught of equally as reprehensible New York City gangs circa the late 1970's would have you pulling for the former. Yet, somehow, "The Warriors" pulls it off. https://youtu.be/RhIRuAsiFQQ "The Warriors" (1979): Caste System and Killer Music Classic Film Feature by John Smistad The lion's share of the credit... for the gut punch impact of "The Warriors" goes straight to the deliciously down and dirty vision of director and co-screen writer Walter Hill ("48 Hrs.", "The Long Riders"). Right smack dab in the middle of this barrage of enormously enthralling action sequences combined with expert orchestration of fight scenes both brisk and brutal, there is an unexpected and deftly executed moment of poignancy. As Hill allows us a rare moment to catch our breath, we witness a remarkable interaction on a train.  Between fresh face kids on prom night who get all the breaks.  And their hardened, hardscrabble peers who know only that which is irrevocably broken. No words are spoken. The eyes say it all. The scene could well have been left to the cutting room floor.  And “The Warriors” would still stand as a fine action crime thriller. But the fact that it clearly mattered to Hill to include it reveals that the filmmaker intends for us to understand that there, but for the Grace of God, go we. And to never take what you got for granted. On another note. Literally. This may be, if not the first, certainly one of the initial instances of an electronica music score serving as the soundtrack for a feature-length film.  All courtesy of some guy named Barry De Vorzon. Hey, he did compose the theme music which the TV soap opera "The Young and the Restless" has used now for nigh on four and half decades. Dude's got skillz. And I simply must... as one of his biggest fans on the planet, recognize the great rock guitar virtuoso Joe Walsh.  His rousing riffs provide a sonically stalwart serenade for the film's finish. "In the City" (De Vorzon strikes again, kids. He co-wrote the tune with Walsh.) punctuates the closing credits as they roll over "The Warriors" strolling along Coney Island beach.  It is early morning now.  Miraculously, the gang has cheated death all through the night. And yet, as the rising sun shines on these weary waifs, indications are that this may very soon become an erstwhile home. And, once departed, one to which none of them are likely to ever return.

In New York the gangs outnumber the cops by 5-1. Together, they could rule the city. Gang-leader Cyrus has a dream to do just that and calls a summit. The gangs of New York gather in their thousands, Cyrus takes the stage. From somewhere in the crowd a shot rings out and Cyrus falls down dead. In the chaos that follows, a small gang from Coney Island – the Warriors – are blamed. Now everyone is out to get them. On foot, in enemy territory, can they make it through the night to get back across the city to the safety of home turf?

Pre-order The Warriors.

I can honestly say I’ve never watched an episode of this most quintessentially 80′s tv shows about, I think, “chalk and cheese” brothers who... fight crime... for some reason... I guess?

But damn if that theme tune, composed by Barry De Vorzon doesn’t get into your head and STAY there!
