Elaborating on one of the Bard's recent posts (and because I've been listening to The Return of the King a lot lately) today's Film Score Friday will be drawn from third installments. This doesn't necessarily mean trilogies, just third installments.

BONER.
Geez, how many Omen movies were there?
The Omen XXIV: The Face on the Tortilla Chip
Also, I require a copy of Jurassic Park III. That's right, I went there. Too.
You might be on to something here. I think you should abandon The Hollow and make The Face on the Tortilla Chip!
In all there have been 5 Omen films.
1 (The Omen)is good but if you take away the music it's hilariously bad (like some of the horror films I've scored!). 2 (Damien: Omen II) is not good. 3 (The Final Conflict) is only a little better. 4 (The Omen: Awakenings) was made for t.v. and we don't speak it's name. Last year's The Omen was a remake of the first. I didn't see it but I understand I didn't missing anything. I guess Marco Beltrami didn't exactly do great justice to his mentor, either.
Jurassic Park III is awful with a capital AWFUL. But Don Davis' score is fun. I'm not sure if he's poking fun at the movie but I do know he was hand-picked by Johnny to score it.
X-Men 4: The Stand After Tomorrow
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Oh wait.
That's no worse a title than The Temple of Doom or The Empire Strikes Back. Think about it.
At first, I thought Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was another "working title" like Ravages of Time, so I let it go. Then it turned out to be the real title, and I thought, "You know, that's not a bad title, it's just a little cumbersome... like how they released the trilogy starting with Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark." And KotCS sounds like the title of a young adult adventure book anyway. Whatever, it works.
