out cold [soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The well known (Foo Fighters), barely known (Jack Johnson), and virtually unknown (Andrew WK) are all represented to fine effect on this predominantly modern-rock-leaning dozen-song soundtrack. As befitting the flick's snowboard theme, most of the cool cuts are by pop-punky sporty faves such as Lit (whose edgy and melodic "Lipstick and Bruises" is the single), Eve 6 (with a dynamic new song, "Anytime"), and the Foo Fighters, who turn in a reworking of a B-side in "Win or Lose." A couple of great songs (albeit odd choices for a teen-oriented soundtrack, especially when sharing space with the hip-hop Planet Asia and Will.I.Am) are the James Gang's 1977 hit, the sexy, bluesy rock romp "Funk No. 49," and the new but guitar-driven, classic-rock-oriented "Green Light Girl," a forceful offering from Doyle Bramhall II & Smokestack. British solo artist Andrew WK turns in an irresistible, ultra-energetic, retro, almost "glam" power-pop tune in "She Is Beautiful," while mellower moments from Jimmy Eat World and Jack Johnson aren't as compelling. Ultimately, if Out Cold is a slightly schizophrenic compilation of mostly previously released cuts, it's still a worthwhile collection for open-minded listeners. --Katherine Turman

For this movie about 1930s boxer Jim Braddock (Russell Crowe), director Ron Howard interrupted his longtime collaboration with composer James Horner and teamed up with Thomas Newman. It's a wise decision: Newman has a lighter touch and his somber palette emphasizes the fact that Cinderella Man is more thoughtful drama than mere brawling flick (even a track titled "Pugilism" eschews obvious punchiness in favor of ominous, rolling tribal-like percussion. Elsewhere, "Weehawken Ferry" illustrates Newman's ability to write swelling, majestic music that's not bombastic. Typical of the subdued approach is Paul Giamatti's version of "Londonderry Air," which he delicately whistles. The score is interspersed with a few lovely Depression-era tunes such as Chicago tenor saxist Bud Freeman's "Tillie¹s Downtown Now," Roane's Pennsylvanians' "We've Got to Put that Sun Back in the Sky," and especially Eddie Cantor's wonderfully biting "Cheer Up, Smile, Nertz" ("Our judges are queer/Our banks disappear/And all the while they tell us to smiiiiile"). --Elisabeth Vincentelli

The Soundtrack to Cinderella Man is great.......2007-01-11

Cinderella Man is one of my favorite movies of all time. And the soundtrack does not disappoint. They have all of the powerful songs heard on the DVD. It even has the songs that you could barely hear in the movie because they were simply background music to the scenes. For instance, when Mike Wilson and Jim Braddock sit down together after work and have a drink and discuss the troubled times their nation was facing during the depression, you can faintly hear a song called, "We've Got to Put that Sun Back in the Sky" by Roane's Pennsylvanians. That song is on here in its entirety.

The other example is found in the scene where Joe Gould is seen driving off after just speaking with Jim about his hopes of getting him another fight after Jim had defeated Corn Griffin. Joe is trying to leave before Mae can see him because he knows she would not approve of his talking with Jim and the potential of another fight for her husband. Anyway, just as he gets in the car, and as he drives off, you can here Bud Freeman's "Tillie's Downtown Now" being played--another great song from that era.

Every sound of Cinderella Man is found on this soundtrack. The lone downside to this CD is that the songs are not found in the order they appear in the movie. The first four songs are in order and the last five or so are in order, and the rest is thrown in the middle. They are all there, but as is typical for most soundtracks, they don't all coincide with the order presented in the picture.

This soundtrack is a terrific purchase for any fan of this movie. You will not be disappointed.

Another good score from Thomas Newman........2006-11-07

Thomas Newman is becoming quite the composer. He has such a unique style, but is able to use it to compliment the movies he scores without the music sounding out of place or out of period. The tracks "Turtle" and "Pugilism" are fun to listen to. The first track is short and yet somehow moving. There are enough songs from the period to lend the right flavor to the soundtrack (including a track of Paul Giamatti whistling "Londonderry Air"). This one's definitely worth having if you're a fan of Thomas Newman.

Very nice.......2006-08-03

I suppose this would have been better, like another reviewer said, if some of the tracks had been more than minute-long cuts of the music from Cinderella Man. Still, it's a fantastic soundtrack!--I don't know what "conventional" meant when someone called it that, but if you like sad and somber music, you'll certainly like this. Try it. It's almost better than the movie itself, and the movie was great. After this, I have to hear Thomas Newman's other work.

Why..........2006-07-11

I dearly loved the movie, "Cinderella Man," and the music in it. However, why on earth, on the CD, did they play only a minute, or less, of some of the best music? Like, "Hope of the Irish," I liked that so much, but 52 seconds dosn't do it. In the film it was at least 3 minutes or more. I have decided not to buy the soundtrack simply because of this.

A fairly conventional score for Thomas Newman, but enjoyable nonetheless.......2006-03-25

Cinderella Man is, in a way, a return to conventional scoring for Thomas Newman. For a long while we've heard world instruments and percussion banging it out before stopping to allow beautiful themes to grasp our souls, but in Cinderella Man the effort is more restrained. It is largely a score for piano and strings, and fans of Thomas Newman will have heard the sound before. But, all the same, it is an enjoyable score for Newman fans of both kinds, and while it does take a while to get into a full expression of the story, it is definitely worth the wait.

The piano is used a lot in the score, making appearances across most of the tracks, including the gentle "The Inside Out" or in "Mae", appear with the delicate strings that we have come to expect from Newman. "Pugilism" makes use of pizzicato movements, whereas the two Irish influenced tracks, "Hope of the Irish" and "Turtle", bring back some more unconventional instruments as one would expect. But largely, the score meanders in the background, establishing a delicate tone and texture, but never really taking a forefront. Of course, I must make mention of the wonderful "Weehawken Ferry", which presents a crisp walking movement of strings, similar to what was heard in Shawshank Redemption. However, it is not until the final few tracks that the music finally free's itself from it's subdued nature and reaches out. "Big Right" explodes with blaring french horns and sharp strings, until it finally fades off and allows the highlight track, "Cinderella Man", to come in. This track is Newman at his best, with his typical soaring string arrangement of the main theme introduced in "The Inside Out", before finally reverting back to quiet woodwinds and piano near the end.

Cinderella Man is by no means an innovative or groundbreaking score - it's a fairly conventional drama score. The same adjectives could be applied to the movie as well. Is it worth the pick-up? Definitely, if you are looking for more Newman goodness. However, if you're looking to get into the world of Newman with a more colorful score - try "Angels in America" or "Road to Perdition".

This is a fairly solid soundtrack. Has an up beat mood, Any common Alternative fan could get into. Lit, Sum 41 & Eve 6 songs are the highlights on here IMO. But there is still one flaw to be announced. The one song that in the movie stands for the two lead characters love for one another. Weezers "Island In The Sun" which would have made this compilation seem more complete.

P.S. When will someone get the great idea of putting ALL the movies songs onto the soundtrack?!?

name of that song?.......2005-08-05

does anybody know the name and artist of the song that plays when inga walks into the bar?
please help

wat was the song n the beginning when rick snowboards down the mountain by himself?

This thing is great........2005-02-27

The film has a great soundtrack:

Eve 6, James Gang, Jack Johnson, Sum 41, Foo Fighters, Lit, Planet Asia, Jimmy Eat World, Doyle Bramhall, Handsome Devil, The Color Red, Andrew W.K.

It's truely awesome. A compilation of rare and recently-released tracks ranging from pop to rock. I'm just sick of hearing complaints from people going, "Oh, man! 'Island in the Sun' is not on the Out Cold soundtrack!"

Go out and buy Weezer's whole album: Weezer (Green Album). The band needs the money. Check out their new record, too: Make Believe. I recommend buying both the Out Cold soundtrack and the new Weezer album this month at the same time. Rock on!

Besides, "Island in the Sun" has already been on the radio and was played at least 5 times in the movie. Like American Pie 2, they don't use a lot of songs on their soundtrack that are already popular singles because most people who buy it don't want to hear what they already have heard a hundred times.
P.S. I'm not in the band Weezer and I do not work at their record label.

A horror film whose topicality is tied to the dot-com boom is asking for trouble, and sure enough William Malone's follow-on to House on Haunted Hill turned out to be something of a murky bust. But composer Nicholas Pike's smartly understated score certainly deserves a better hearing. Working from inspirations as diverse as brooding Russian classical motifs, the baroque, and 20th-century modernism, Pike serves up a subtle cocktail of creepiness. On the cues "Alistair Gets Cozy/Cozier," he playfully turns the horror-film clichés of creaking hinges, leaden footsteps, and squeaking doors into wry mini-concertos of dread. There are a few obligatory crashing crescendos, wailing choirs, and action cues in the composer's largely seamless melding of the orchestral and electronic, but overall it's a soundtrack that wisely relies more on spacious dynamics than on cheap jolts to paint its evocative soundscape of dread. --Jerry McCulley
