Catch the Coen Brothers film Gambit now on Netflix, and grab the soundtrack by Lakeshore Records. Scored by Rolfe Kent (Reign Over Me, Thank You For Smoking, The Hunting Party), with music from Robby Armstrong, Peggy Lee and Moe Brandy, the classy soundtrack is a smart, sassy and groovy accompaniment to this modern take on the 1966 film (which starred Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine), is an easy watch for the Independence Day weekend.
If you’re going to con your boss, who happens to be an eccentric multi-millionaire (played deliciously by Alan Rickman), hiring the effervescent Cameron Diaz to help make it happen could be the best choice ever, unless of course, the boss is superbly charming and Diaz’s (“PJ”) happens to be a dead ringer for his deceased wife. With the disgruntled art collector (Colin Firth) driving the heist, hilarity is sure to ensue. Also not to be missed: Stanley Tucci’s arty “German” character.
“A taut, crisp production; rich, full-bodied songs with strong arrangements, brass, backing singers – even a guest appearance from the now-legendaryAlejandro Escovedo adds up to a beefy pop album that’s full of melody and warmth.” Read the full review at Pop Dose.
Out now: watch the official album preview video for “Organ Donor Blues” by John Velghe & The Prodigal Sons, an artist album released by Lakeshore Records.

In honor of Tom Cruise‘s birthday today, Lakeshore Records takes a look back at Tropic Thunder(rent it on iTunes), a highly entertaining film which stars Tom Cruise as the hilariously hotheaded movie producer, Les Grossman. Composer Theodore Shapiro (Blades of Glory, Marley & Me, Dinner for Schmucks) created a decidedly epic score which highlights the movie’s beautiful cinematography and explosive action sequences. The various artists soundtrack is the perfect playlist for this movie: Creedence Clearwater Revival (“Run Through The Jungle”), Edwin Starr (“War”), Ten Years After (“I’d Love to Change the World”), The Temptations (“Ball of Confusion”), MC Hammer (“U Can’t Touch This”), The Crystal Method and more.
Cruise’s comical turn as the hip-hop dancing man of excess is arguably the icing on the cake in Tropic Thunder. With an ensemble cast headlined by Ben Stiller (Megamind, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty), Robert Downey, Jr. (Charlie Bartlett, Zodiac), Jack Black (Year One, Be Kind Rewind), Nick Nolte (Warrior, The Spiderwick Chronicles), Brandon T. Jackson (Californication, Fast & Furious) and Jay Baruchel (How To Train Your Dragon, Million Dollar Baby), this action adventure about a movie cast who are unwittingly thrown in the middle of a drug war in the jungles of Southeast Asia is not to be missed.
What is it about car chase movies that we love? Entertainment Weekly recently released their “The Apocalypse Issue,” featuring Tom Hardy (Warrior, Inception) and Charlize Theron (Sleepwalking, Prometheus), for the forthcoming Mad Max: Fury Road, which is expected to premiere in May 2015. It has been described as a chase that “continues for 110 minutes,” according to Mad Max creator, George Miller. Can’t wait? Check out this roundup of seven memorable car chase movies that you’ll want to queue up on your playlist. The soundtracks released by Lakeshore Records are injected with enough adrenaline to get you through those long commutes with or without road warriors coming after you.
Hot rods, big guns, pyrotechnics and women who can hold their own in a fight, make for a rip-roaring time. Fast car chases, slow car chases and epic death-defying stunts performed while a vehicle is in motion, never seem to slow anybody down.
