L’arena

Another Ennio Morricone song, this time from one of the many western soundtracks he wrote – Il Mercenario (The Mercenary/A Professional Gun). I’ll leave you the movie scene, a traditional western duel in which this song fits perfectly!

Here you have a scene from Kill Bill Vol. 2 in which the song was also featured.

White Clouds

Nuvole Bianche Nuvens brancasToday “I bring you” an Italian pianist that I got to know through an Italian friend (to whom I thank). The song I’m going to post was the first I ever heard from Ludovico Einaudi. 3 years have passed and I have listened to most of Ludovico’s discography, but Nuovole Bianche (White Clouds) is still my favourite – if you listen carefully to it, you’ll surely understand why!

All that’s left is to draw your attention to the first comment in youtube 😉

Here you have a beautiful live sung version.

Cinema Paradiso

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso Giuseppe Tornatore Ennio Morricone Love theme for NataToday I have another melody from Giuseppe Tornatore‘s Cinema Paradiso. It’s quite similar to the one Pedro posted a couple of months ago, but it’s nonetheless worth listening to. Good night!

Hot Shots!

Well, my friend Miguel seems to be on vacation, so the musical section has been stopped. I don’t intend to take his place, but I’ll make a post about a movie.

Hot Shots Charlie Sheen Valeria Golino Jon Cryer Lloyd BridgesI am  quite fond of laughing, which means that I love comic movies 😛 among many that I like, there are two that stand out – Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part Deux. These two comedies are parody films (like Scary Movie and others) that satirize Top Gun, Rambo, Rocky, as well as several others. It stars Charlie Sheen back when he was more known for quality acting than for smoking crack cocaine (yeah, it was a while ago!), Valeria Golino and Lloyd Bridges (totally love his performance!).

I won’t tell you the story, not to avoid spoiling it, but because it is the least important. The important thing is that you laugh almost constantly for 1 hour and 24 minutes, with few breaks for little romances!

Now the songs – firstly, the epic horse scene with Bobby Darin‘s Dream Lover

If you liked it, you can listen to Dion’s version, which is the version that I actually listen to.

And now The Platters with Only You

PS – if you watch both movies you will recognize two characters from Two and a Half Men (besides Sheen).
