Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, The Driver by #WalterHill starring #RyanONeal and #IsabelleAdjani, "works exceptionally well for being distilled down to such primary, pure qualities" https://wp.me/p3waMl-Klu

BEST MUSIC 1992: Howard Ashman tragically passed away before production on ALADDIN could be completed, leaving composer ALAN MENKEN to finish the song score with the great TIM RICE, a lyricist who made his name with Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals in the seventies. At the Oscars, Menken won Best Original Score yet again, while two songs from the film were nominated, one by each lyricist: with Little Mermaid they chose “Under The Sea” over “Kiss The Girl” but, as with this year, the Academy prefers a ballad over a more upbeat tune (Ashman's "Friend Like Me" in this case), which brought Rice up to the podium with Menken to accept the award for “A WHOLE NEW WORLD” (and he, rightly, thanked his late colleague in his speech). Menken also won for The Little Mermaid (score and song, 1989), Beauty and the Beast (score and song, 1992) and Pocahontas (score and song, 1995) and was nominated for "Mean Green Mother From Outer Space" (Little Shop of Horrors, 1986), "Kiss The Girl" (The Little Mermaid"), "Be Our Guest" and "Belle" (both Beauty and the Beast, 1991), "Friend Like Me" (Aladdin, 1992), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), "Go The Distance" (Hercules, 1997), "Happy Working Song", "So Close", "That's How You Know" (all Enchanted, 2007) and "I See The Light" (Tangled, 2010). Rice also won for "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" (The Lion King, 1994) and "You Must Love Me" (Evita, 1996) and was nominated for "Hakuna Matata" (The Lion King, 1994) MyOldAddiction.com #AcademyAwards #Oscars #Music #Scoring #Musical
