MOVIE MUSIC TRACK OF THE WEEK: "Extreme Ways", Whitney, and BASIC INSTINCT

Hello, folks... Apologies for not getting the rest of our Summer reviews posted. It's been an extraordinarily busy week and weekend. Please expect BRAVE and THE DARK KNIGHT RISES to post tomorrow, followed by TO ROME WITH LOVE and THE WATCH by Friday, then our August reviews will start posting.

For now, in honor of the release of THE BOURNE LEGACY (a worthy entry in the Bourne franchise), our music selection this week is Moby's "Extreme Ways" - which has become synonymous with the Bourne films.

Also, in honor of the late and great Whitney Houston's latest and last film SPARKLE, please find below a tribute to the sorely-missed songstress in the form of the biggest hit of her career, "I Will Always Love You" from THE BODYGUARD soundtrack.

Lastly, we have a compilation of tracks from the musical score for BASIC INSTINCT. We haven't featured a film score in awhile, and BASIC INSTINCT's is one of the best out there by late musical genius Jerry Goldsmith. Film music should be a representation of the movie it graces, and this score is very much like BASIC INSTINCT (and its villainess) itself: sexy, smart, sinister, alluring, classy, and totally hypnotic. More on BASIC INSTINCT's score when we review it in full next week.

"Extreme Ways" by Moby




"I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston



We will always remember you, Whitney, especially this song. Rest in peace now....


BASIC INSTINCT Suite by Jerry Goldsmith
