Eric Serra, who did the excellent soundtrack for the Fifth Element, is the one singing the song. Although many do compare his voice to Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel did NOT sing that song. The girl singing in the song is also NOT Milla Jovovich either.

Eric Serra is often called the artist RXRA which is dumb cause that was an ALBUM name of his.

The Fifth Element Soundtrack, which is excellent, is one I listen to when testing gear and speakers. It has some mean low bass on certain tracks. It's interesting to compare speakers with certain tracks on that CD. I'd LOVE to find that soundtrack on vinyl.

I'm a huge fan of the movie. First time I saw it, I liked it, but didn't love it. Went back to the theater a couple days later to see it again. Loved it.

Milla is a total babe.

to me it is company and a good story.
Milla is in it, she's swell. BTW, Marilyn Manson did the instrumental score for the first RE movie. The opening track Resident Evil Main Title Theme is most excellent. Even more so in the theater with all that pounding bass.

The soundtrack instrumentals were specifically done to creep people out and make you uneasy. A lot of research went into it to make it actually affect people who heard it. There was a pretty in depth article/interview I read/saw of MM and how much research and time he spent on this soundtrack. It's an awful shame he did not do the second one...the second one was weak and had a horrible soundtrack. I will say the only reason I felt on edge during the first movie, first viewing in a theater was simply because it was SO LOUD. Once on DVD it did not have the same effect on me. Still creepy sort of but the beginning of the movie and that main theme is awesome.

3rd one will be out this summer.


In regards to any Pixar film, all are good, even the weakest.

In regards to Hayao Miyazaki

Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and more are all excellent. IMDB him. So far I have yet to be disappointed by any of his work. Castle in the Sky was awesome. Initially I couldn't stand the granny character...but the robots in that movie are so awesome. Howl's moving castle wasn't, IMO as good as the others I've mentioned, but it was still good.

The Departed was awesome. Jack was a riot.

I saw the 300 recently, cool for what it was, a "graphic novel" (that's new PC correct or whatever terminoligy for a movie based on A COMIC BOOK!).

Man of the Year was pretty darn funny. I avoided it and glad I actually decided eh, give it a shot. It had a really really really really rahhhiiiiiiiiiihiiiihiiily weak computer glitch plot, but the funny was brung and it was brung well, the funny makes up for anything weak.

I recently watched Cowboy Bebop: The Movie.

Really need to just deal with it and buy the redone 5.1 release of the TV series. Cowboy Bebop is awesome.

I need to get my copy of Shaun of the Dead back from my friend. I also need to go see Hot Fuzz. Shaun of the Dead was hilarious. Hot Fuzz is supposed to be equally if not funnier.

Also...for anyone who liked the Fifth Element, or any of Luc Besson's other films(IMDB him) the Transporter and weaker sequel are cool...

Angel A is his new movie(not sure when release date is)...within the last couple of years there were reports that he was done with movies and a certain one would be his last. According to IMDB he's on as producer for several movies in 08/09...

Trailer for Angel A, including HD 480p/720p/1080p your choice!
