FOLLOW THE BEAT OF BOUNCING BASKETBALLS IN SEVENTIES STYLE!

Will Ferrell stars in Semi-Pro, an outrageous comedy set in 1976 against the backdrop of the maverick ABA – a fast-paced, wild and crazy basketball league that rivalled the NBA and made a name for itself with innovations like the three-point shot and slam dunk contest. Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song “Love Me Sexy” to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team. But Moon’s franchise, the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. If they want to survive, Jackie and the Tropics must now do the seemingly impossible – win.

The music is a backdrop for the movie. A ‘70s compilation, it features new versions of LOVE ME SEXY starring Will Ferrell and SHINING STAR with Elijah Kelley.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE - GOLDEN GLOBE (2007)

http://www2.deutschegrammophon.com/special/?ID=thepaintedveil

From the award-winning composer of Girl with a Pearl Earring, Syriana, and The Queen.

The Painted Veil is a touching love story that unfolds in early 20th-century China and stars Hollywood actors Edward Norton and Naomi Watts. The soundtrack, set and arranged by composer Alexandre Desplant, features celebrated pianist Lang Lang.

The score’s mellow, melodic stream of sound helps illustrate the complex relationship between Walter and Kitty. Alexandre Desplat won a Golden Globe nomination in 2004 for his acclaimed score for Girl with a Pearl Earring, which also earned him BAFTA and European Film Academy nominations. Other recent works include Birth, Syriana, Hostage and The Upside of Anger. Earlier this year, Desplat – a two-time nominee for the Cesar Award – won the Berlin Film Festival's Silver Bear prize for his music for the French film The Beat That My Heart Skipped.

The Story: Based on the novel by W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil is a love story set in the 1920s that portrays the complex relationship of a young English couple. Walter (Edward Norton), a middle-class doctor, and Kitty (Naomi Watts), an upper-class woman, get married for all the wrong reasons and relocate to Shanghai, where Kitty falls in love with someone else. When Walter uncovers her infidelity, he takes revenge by accepting a job in a remote village in China that has been ravaged by a deadly epidemic, bringing Kitty with him. The couple’s journey infuses their relationship with meaning and purpose in one of the most remote and beautiful places on earth.
