If you haven’t experienced Hit & Run (watch it on Netflix), the 700-horsepower supercharged comedy starring Dax Shepard (NBC’s Parenthood, Idiocracy) and Kristen Bell (Pulse, Scream 4), then you’re in for a treat. Coupled with an equally energetic soundtrack, released by Lakeshore Records, the movie will be that summer amusement ride — embodied in a movie — that you’ve been waiting for. The bonus of seeing Bradley Cooper (The Words, Midnight Meat Train) play a bad guy in dreadlocks and a pill-popping Kristin Chenoweth (Deck The Halls, Fox’s Glee), is all just part of the adventure.

July 9, 2014 Film Music Daily Staff

If you’ve been following Halle Berry‘s career, then you know her new sci-fi series on CBS, Extant, is a natural progression from her work in Cloud Atlas. You’ll also know that Ms. Berry is no stranger to playing roles in thrillers. Lakeshore Records released the soundtrack to The Call, a film scored by John Debney (Walk of Shame, Draft Day) and stars Berry in a riveting role of a 911-dispatcher who decides to face her fears and go above and beyond her call of duty in order to save a young girl, played by Abigail Breslin (Perfect Sisters, Little Miss Sunshine). The bone-chilling score doesn’t let you lose that sense of uneasiness until the end.

“The series, as we’ve known so far, will center on a female astronaut trying to reconnect with her family, when she returns home after a year on a solo mission in space; her arrival back on earth comes with the realization that she’s carrying what is likely an alien baby (or something).” (Read the full story at the Indie Wire blog).

Extant premieres tonight at 9/8C on CBS.
