I was watching the end of The American President last night when the credits came up and the music started. Now, this music sounded just like The Sixth Sense but I don't know who did the music for The American President. James Newton Howard did the music for The Sixth Sense so does anyone know whether he did the music for The American President? This is driving me insane. I need to know!

Oh, and does anyone have any version of Cinemania? If so, which version do you have? I have 94. I know there was a 97 but is there one more recent than that or have they stopped making them. I want a more up to date version you see.

It was released on R2 - one of the very first DVDs. Think it maybe has a commentary track too, which would have been nice. However, I remember reading that it was being deleted so it could be hard to come by (just checked a few online retailers and none of them have it now).

Better news is that I think a new special edition is planned - m-a-y-b-e. Or I maybe remembering hearing that an R1 version was announced - this is widely available and has the Singer and MacQuarrie commentary.

Oh yeah, that might be it. I can't really remember though so I'll have to watch it again.....or at least the beginning. I've got it on video so it shouldn't pose too much of a problem.

And does anyone know if The Ususal Suspects is out on DVD. I remember seeing a program once where you had to guess what celebrities house you were going round. It turned out that whoever it was (Dion Dublin I think) had the DVD as it was their favourite film. It could have been the region 1 version though. Anyone know if it's out over here?

House of the Rising Sun is right at the start of Casino, if I remember correctly (fitting seeing both are about the corruptive force that is gambling). Original version is by The Animals, with a strange wee video in which they walk in a big circle around their rather bare set... and there lead singer was/is pig ugly, though has a rather good voice.

First of all Mewtwo, I realise that, but the creditswent up pretty fast and I missed it.

And yeah, it was Marc Shaiman. I had an idea to search for it on Aimster. I can't believe how much it sounded like The Sixth Sense though. Or rather, how much The Sixth Sense sounded like it.

Now however, there is a new annoyance. I was at a barbecue today and a song was playing called 'House of the Rising Sun'. I knew the song. I had heard it before and I was pretty sure it was from a film I just didn't know what film. I have searched for it on Aimster and there are about 20 different versions. None of them however, say it is from a film. If you know what film it is from (if it is froma a film at all) then please tell me. Once something is in my head, it says there and annoys the hell out of me till I know what it is.

In fact, while I'm here, I might as well ask this as well. It is to do with an N64 game, I just don't know which one. Which game is it (I'm almost completely certainm that it is on the N64) where you get a gun called the disruptor. I keep getting an image that it is fairly small and it fires small purple (or green) plasma bolts. This is annoying me even more as I have been trying to remember for the last week or so.

And I got my N64 back today. Wooohoo!

Vot - like the guy below me said, www.imdb.com is the best site for all things film related. Unbelievably detailed - basically everything you'd ever require to know on every film ever made!

In film companion thing books I've always prefered Time's guide (I think at volume seven now). Has pretty much any film you'd ever want to know about with main cast and a GOOD review plus lists of films by actor, genre and director.

I do know a movie with an amazing soundtrack! 'The Rock' all done by the talented musician Hans Zimmer (Gladiator).
