We're fans of movies and we're fans of music -- but perhaps not to the same degree as Rodrigo Perez, whose excellent blog The Playlist explores, as he puts it, "that sweet spot where music and movies meet." Well, dude has assembled a whopping 3,500-word survey of his favorite soundtracks, scores and movie music moments of 2008, with photos and clips GALORE, and he's come up with some pretty genius categories as well, like "Best Song From A Crappy Mainstream Movie That Went On To Become An Unexpected Hit," "Film Score That Was Actually Better Than The Movie," "Best Winning Wimpy Moment With Dignity," "Best Atonal Score To A Gigantically Budgeted Superhero Blockbuster," "The Most Spectacularly Retarded/Awesome Music Moment In A Movie," and so many more that our eyes are crossed from reading it.

And just in case you're not sold yet, and he's got a special place in his liver (or wherever bile is created) for the "Twilight" soundtrack! Enjoy ...

U2, Colin Farrell, And Tom Arnold(?!?) Hit Sundance

Posted 1/17/08 10:50 pm EST by in News, Sundance


Colin FarrellWelcome to Sundance 2008, where your MTV News movie team is once again on the ground, and Colin Farrell is already on the red carpet professing his plans to party.

More about that later, but to whet your appetite for the days ahead, here are a few fast facts about the latest edition of Robert Redford's annual party:

- Saturday’s highly-anticipated premiere of “U2 3D” will be the first of the slick, new-school three-dimensional films (think 'Beowulf') to ever screen at Sundance. A special projector had to be installed in the Eccles Theater, but with names like Cameron, Zemeckis and Lucas developing films for the medium, the timing is right.

- The darlings of Sundance this year? 23-year-old Melonie Diaz has no fewer than four films in Park City. More shockingly, Tom Arnold is engineering a comeback with three of his own. Read More...

The Big Winners At This Year's Golden Globes
