Free Birds Movie Release Today!

 

 

Happy November!  This past week just flew by with all the school activities and of course Halloween.  Today marks the nationwide opening of the 3D animated film, "Free Birds."

The movie is a ReelFX and Relativity production directed by Jimmy Hayward, who also directed Horton Hears a Who! The film is a buddy-comedy about two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks who must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history and get turkey off the holiday menu for good. Produced by Aron Warner of Shrek, it features the voices of Owen Wilson, Amy Poehler and Woody Harrelson.  What a great cast! I think this is going to be super funny!

 

The soundtrack has already been released by Relativity Music Group featuring the composer Dominic Lewis.  He is a British-born film composer and classically trained at the Royal Academy of Music in London.  The soundtrack also features Social Distortion's cover of Creedence Clearwater Survival song, "Up Around the Bend) as well, "Back In Time," from YouTube sensation and member of the recently-named elite in Billboard.com's '21 Under 21' list, MattyB.

Safe Haven Soundtrack Review!

I am a big Nicholas Sparks' fan, so I have been looking forward to seeing Safe Haven which is in theatres on Valentine's Day (February 14!). Safe Haven is directed by Oscar®-nominee Lasse Hallström and based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks from a screenplay by Dana Stevens and Gage Lansky. The film stars Josh Duhamel (Transformers, Life As We Know It), Julianne Hough (Rock of Ages, Footloose), Cobie Smulders (The Avengers, How I Met Your Mother) and David Lyons (Eat Pray Love, J.J. Abrams' Revolution) and is an affirming and suspenseful story about a young woman who struggles to find love again after she arrives in a small North Carolina town. Safe Haven was produced by Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, Sparks and Relativity's CEO Ryan Kavanaugh.

The soundtrack for Safe Haven was executive produced by Relativity Music Group's Jason Markey, Bob Bowen, Happy Walters alongside the film's producers Bowen, Godfrey and Kavanaugh. Thanks to Relativity Music Group, I had an opportunity to review the soundtrack and I love it!

Here's the Safe Haven Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Track Listing:

Colbie Caillat featuring Gavin DeGraw- "We Both Know"

Tristan Prettyman- "Say Anything"

Ben Howard- "Keep Your Head Up"

Dar Williams- "Summer Child"

The White Buffalo- "Sleepy Little Town"

Gareth Dunlop- "Wrap Your Arms Around Me"

Sara Haze- "Moonshine"

FM Radio- "The Journey"

Brandi Carlile- "Heart's Content" (Strings Mix)

Amos Lee- "Violin"

The Deep Dark Woods- "My Baby's Got To Pay The Rent"

Deborah Lurie- "Canoeing" (Katie and Alex's Theme)

The video for "We Both Know", the original song written and performed by Gavin DeGraw and Colbie Caillat can be seen by clicking here. Regular blog readers know I love Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw is one of my favorites too, so of course this is my favorite song on the soundtrack! In the new video, director Roman White captures the magic in the chemistry between the two multi-platinum singer/songwriters who wrote the song while touring together last summer. I really enjoyed listening to all the songs (Heart's Content by Brandi Carlile is my second favorite) and would recommend this to anyone.
