Team Boxwish quizzed: Have you ever been inspired by a movie to buy an artist's music?

8 September 2009 2:04 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

This week we’ve delving into the dusty depths of our music collections to muse on how movies have affected them. Music is an integral and downright essential ingredient in the cinematic recipe, whether it be a haunting score or a pulsing soundtrack crammed full of recognizable chart-toppers, and as such we’re doffing our cap to these tuneful treasures by asking everyone at Team Boxwish: “Have you ever been inspired by a movie to buy an artist’s music?”

Tim: “Definitely, I’m a soundtrack obsessive. I became a big fan of Hans Zimmer because of his tracks on Gladiator and Black Hawk Down, and the whole soundtrack he did for The Last Samurai was amazing. I got introduced to Eddie Vedder because of Into the Wild (I was online buying the soundtrack before I’d even finished watching the movie!) Last, but certainly not least, I know I »

Quiz: How Well Do You Know Francis Ford Coppola?

10 June 2009 1:10 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

At the beginning of this week I brought you my exclusive one-on-one interview with Francis Ford Coppola as his latest film, Tetro, hits theaters tomorrow, Thursday, June 11. I figured why stop there and decided this week's quiz would focus on the Oscar-winning director and see just how well you know the man that brought us such classics as the Godfather trilogy, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. The questions range from his work as a director, producer and writer and touch upon his Oscar history, box-office accomplishments and even a question regarding his family ties to actors you may or may not know. This quiz may be a little tougher than some of my others, but if that's the case you may learn a couple of things. Win-win right? Check out the sample question below or click here to get started: Francis Ford Coppola won the Best Director Oscar for which one of the following films? »

Scenes We Love: The Return of the King

21 February 2009 2:33 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

It's difficult to pick a favorite scene from the Lord of the Rings trilogy -- but at least picking the one that won Best Picture narrows it down. This has always been one of my favorite scenes in The Return of the King, and it does capture the themes of Tolkien in one haunting moment. A new age is beginning and an old one is dying, and there is nothing achieved without great and bitter losses. Even romance and the promise of life comes at a high price. If Arwen chooses a mortal life, she will be separated from her family, her people, and from an endless life of song, beauty, and memory in the Gray Havens. In Tolkien's mythology, the decision has ramificatications beyond this world, and her parting from her father is more permanent than even the film hints at.
