"What do you morons think, that this is little Italy? Wake up! THIS IS THE TWENTY-F**KIN'-FIRST CENTURY!"

Here's John Powell's excellent score for the 2003 crapfest "Gigli." I won't bother going into details of the plot and characters here, but the plot rides offthe rails of ludicrous and into the land of "retarded," the characters (with the exception of Christopher Walken's) are loud and annoying, the dialogue is awful, and the direction is bad. The only tolerable parts of the film are Walken's and Al Pacino's bits, and they only comprise about 5% of the film combined. And yet, I would never give up my DVD copy for anything. Maybe I'm just a masochist. Anyway, Powell's score truly belongs in a better film. The opening and closing titles are excellent, and the rest of it is nice, mellow jazzy music, which is great to pull out around Valentine's Day. Enjoy, and just remember this trick for your date: go down to Marie Callender's, get a big bowl, pie, some ice cream on it, mmm-hmm good! Put some on your date's head! His or her tongue would slap their brains out trying to get to it! INTERESTED? SURE?
