Pretty Woman voted top Valentine's Day movie
Posted by Team Boxwish about 5 hours ago
It’s all about Julia Roberts this Valentine’s Day. Head to the cinema for the most romantic night of the year and there she is, her sparkly smile shining out in ensemble rom-com Valentine’s Day (along with practically every other star in Hollywood), or stay in for a snuggle in front of a classic love story and chances are she’ll pop up there too. What are we talking about? Only a new poll to find Britain’s most beloved Valentine’s Day movie and coming in to take the top spot is the film that made Julia a household name, 1990’s modern Cinderella story, Pretty Woman.

Our first listen to Danny Elfman's score for The Wolfman
Posted by Team Boxwish 1 day ago
Film composer Danny Elfman has two exciting musical scores set to be released soon. There’s his one for Alice in Wonderland, which continues his long-time screen collaborations with director Tim Burton and his one for gothic horror, The Wolfman. We’ve already heard (and loved) a few samples of the Alice score (see Related Content, right), yet things have seemingly been less smooth-sailing for The Wolfman’s music, which, as we’ve reported has been a hokey-cokey of in-out-shake-it-all-about nonsense. First Elfman was onboard, then he’d left the project and been replaced by Paul Haslinger and then he was back in. It made us tired just trying to keep up, but now we’ve gotten a more substantial taste of Elfman’s The Wolfman music as preview samples of it have been posted online.

Posted by Team Boxwish 1 day ago
It’s just seven days to go until Valentine’s Day otherwise known as the most romantic or the most depressing, cynical and expensive day of the year depending on your outlook. And if you have no-one to canoodle with, or rather are looking to make an upgrade on your current partner, we have just the thing – the chance to win a date with Gerard Butler. Not too shabby we’re sure you’ll agree and maybe, just maybe, if you ask very nicely, he’ll turn up in his skimpy 300 costume. Worth a shot, eh?

Listen to extracts from Alice in Wonderland "Almost Alice" soundtrack
Posted by Team Boxwish 4 days ago
You’ve got to take your hat off to those marketing bods behind Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. The movie is still a month away from release and yet all the time we get drip-fed new and exciting details relating to it keeping our appetites truly whetted. There have been the usual trailers and stills, but one thing helping it stand apart is the duo of soundtracks coming our way soon. There’s Danny Elfman’s trademark spooky score, which has already been heard in short bursts thanks to the film’s website, and now “Almost Alice”, the accompanying soundtrack packed with top rock, pop and indie stars has also gone online with snippets from the 16-track album ready for us to sample.
