Music reviews of The Cat In The Hat
Music Review: Getting Better? How about Get Back.
Rating: 1 Stars
The 'Getting Better' Beatles cover is a disgrace. I brought a young child to the movies to see this film, which is my excuse for attending this piece of doody, and I was horrified to hear 'Getting Better', a Beatles cover, which was performed by Smashmouth.
I don't know about any other Beatle fans but when I hear their songs being used in advertisements or movies, I immediately take a mental note to never buy their product. I suppose they're trying to target 59 year old housewives that will go "god I used to love that song ..volvo huh"
This is all topped off by the fact that the guy from Smashmouth has got the most annoying voice on the planet. It's almost as if he's TRYING to sound like he's got his privates chopped off in a woodchipper.
God help all of us. Down with large corporations. Buy from the Amish. They contribute to society through spreading peace, so instead of rushing out to Wal-Mart to buy the Cat in the Hat soundtrack, take a ride up Lancaster County PA instead and buy some apple pies to throw at war mongers and homophobes.
Description of The Cat In The Hat
Hollywood's typical formula (Well-Known Literary Property + Star Power + Mega Marketing Muscle=Box Office Dynamite) is anything but a sure thing, as the merciless reviews for this Mike Myers take on the Dr. Seuss classic attested in droves. But lost beneath the cat-suited Myers endless schtick and a creative tack that even dared forego Seuss' patent rhymes is a wonderfully inventive, endlessly exuberant orchestral score by David Newman. Essentially treating the material as live-action cartoon, Newman has concocted an updated take on the traditional animation score that consistently bristles with energy and musical surprises. While young Newman's cues here occasionally lean on some of brother Thomas' patent rhythmic hoodoo and a little of cousin Randy's bittersweet pastoral arrangements, the whole is distinctive and entirely his own: a great score for a lousy movie. Smashmouth contributes a faithful, equally upbeat cover of the Beatles' "Getting Better" while Myers musical mugging is kept to a merciful minimum. --Jerry McCulleyGeneral CDs
