of OSTs

i listened to dazed and confused's ost before i watched it. it's a collection of badass 70s tunes:

1. Rock & Roll, Hoochie Koo - Rick Derringer

2. Slow Ride - Foghat

3. School's Out - Alice Cooper

4. Jim Dandy - Black Oak Arkansas

5. Tush - ZZ Top

6. Love Hurts - Nazareth

7. Stranglehold - Ted Nugent

8. Cherry Bomb - The Runaways

9. Fox On The Run - Sweet

10. Low Rider - War

11. Tuesday's Gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd

12. Highway Star - Deep Purple

13. Rock And Roll All Night - Kiss

14. Paranoid - Black Sabbath

as i listened to the songs, i sort of imagined the scenes they'd be played. i was kind of right in some: love hurts was played in a scene about a high school dance; slow ride was a car scene (although a lot of the scenes in the movie happened with the characters just riding in cars), so was highway star; school's out was the music in the scene where kids were streaming out of classrooms and the school at the end of the school year. the movie was okay.

it had the simplest plot. young mila jovovich barely spoke. she only really needed to be there and lend the movie her pretty presence, hee.

also worth watching was a younger douchey matthew mcconaughey. and, ben affleck.

touted as a pretty accurate depiction of high school life in the 70s, i couldn't really relate much to the characters (this blogger did, though). the movie is interesting and engaging enough, but listening to its ost was more pleasurable. the ost sold so well, they even released a sequel: even more dazed and confused.

megamind, on the other hand, was fun. adding to the fun was its fantastic soundtrack. given its list of tracks, i kind of thought the movie was made for an older audience. or maybe it was an attempt to educate younger people about good music.
