Finding Songs in Movies

Twilight: Eclipse

The soundtrack to the third Twilight movie was quite impressive and far from dreary and bland. The music introduced some great up and coming bands, much like the previous two films. There were many good uses of songs to be found here, specifically the use of “With You in My Head” by UNKLE featuring The Black Angels. The song was played during the montage while the vampires and werewolves were training for the newborns. The music was very ominous and menacing while staying quite upbeat, matching the scene perfectly. Muse can be heard in the movie again with their new song ‘Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever)’, which plays during the party scene. A part from this many great bands are found both on the soundtrack and in the movie. New artists like Band of Horses and Florence and the Machine are heard throughout the movie as well as some more established artists like Beck and The Black Keys.

Grown Ups

The soundtrack from Grown Ups consisted of 18 songs while the play list of the movie itself was nearly double with 35 songs. The songs came quick and fast and generally consisted of classic 70 tracks. The J. Geils band was used heavily in the film with three of their songs making the cut, including ‘Come Back’ and ‘Just Can’t Wait’. Bob Seger was also in there, with Bad Company, Cheap Trick, some Journey, Bob Welch and even Fleetwood Mac. The best use of music was probably when ‘Every1’s a Winner’ by Hot Chocolate started playing during the final basketball game.

Why are Twilight movies so popular among older women?

Why are Twilight movies so popular among older women?

Stay at home moms watching Twilight Tube all day…That’s new…Sure, there have always been fanboys, it’s not a new thing at all. But that’s just it… There have been fan…boys…Be it Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5 or your hockey, baseball or football, fans have always been male, and many times teens. So what is it about this little vampire love story that has made grown women fans. These so called Twimoms read the books for the hundredth time and watch the movies twice a week. They live and they breathe everything Twilight. But Why?

Twilight is written by Stephenie Meyer and to be honest it is a little bit Nora Robertsy… Easy romantic reading, that doesn’t really demand all that much from a reader. It’s also that Twilight is a love story. And like all the great lovestories, this young couple, Edward and Bella face obstacles… One very major obstacle is that Edward is…drumroll please…a vampire.

Forbidden love has always been the best kind of love and that rings true to the succes of Twilight also. But is it really so that women nowdays don’t get that buzz from their own lives anymore, and they have to get it from books and movies. Maybe this T-shirt I saw on the street the other day tells it like it is…”Because of Edward, human boys have lost their charm….”

Sad but true, it seems.

There has also been a countermovement against these Twimoms. Facebook groups like “I lost my Wife to Twlight” have been opened and many men find it a real problem that their wifes are, with lack of a better word, addicted to Twilight.

But I think we shouldn’t go so hard at these Twimoms, let’s just be happy that they’ve found something to rave about. And let us men just remember this when the football/basketball/hockey season starts…When the wife starts nagging, just say to her: “Why don’t just read that Twilight book once more?”
