“ REVOLUCION"- Variety Review

Revolucion saves its strongest, most purely cinematic segment, "7th Street and Alvarado," for last. Unspooling without dialogue but backed with a swelling, plangent musical score by the Newton Brothers, this chapter's super-slow-motion tableau vivant (shot on luscious color stock) finds a troupe of exhausted, sad-eyed revolutionaries in period dress, riding on horseback down the colorful streets of the titular Los Angeles intersection, unnoticed by the residents walking by. The horsemen's disappointed expressions mutely speak volumes. Pic cements the reputation of north-of-the-border-based helmer Rodrigo Garcia, who plies his trade between television ("Six Feet Under," "In Treatment") and features ("Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her," the recent "Mother and Child"), and ends Revolucion on a poignant note.

“ High School Soundtrack Now Available "

A rare breed in MovieScore Media’s catalogue, pop and rock-influenced scores – as opposed to the classical sounding orchestral soundtracks we usually release – definitely deserves a place here as long as they are interesting and of high quality. High School is one of those! We are proud to present the entertaining, youthful and infectious score from the high school comedy starring Adrien Brody, Michael Chiklis and Colin Hanks that had a limited theatrical release in June and is now coming out on DVD and bluray. The music is by The Newton Brothers, an up and coming film scoring duo whose other credits include the acclaimed indie drama Detachment as well as the recent action movies Hijacked and Setup. Infused with a lot of rhythm and movement, the music for High School features a lot of driving, guitar-based tracks, as well as some quirky underscoring (especially the latin flavored music for Adrien Brody’s character, Psycho Ed) and more ambient thematic material. Our digital album release coincides with the US DVD release of the film.

“Detachment Soundtrack Now Available on Itunes & Spotify"

The score by the Newton Brothers deserves special mention, as it infuses the visuals and the great performances with such deep waves of emotion.

- Glenn G (Rotten Tomatoes)

After watching the trailer I was immediately

intrigued, and the score only solidified that.

Much of the score is emotional strings atop

slow dramatic piano, and I must say it's

really beautiful stuff.
