This week, we revisit Danny Elfman’s score for Wanted, starring James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and Terence Stamp.  Den Of Geek says of the track, “The Little Things” is “a slithering, Cult-like rock anthem that’s just as curvaceous and sexy as Wanted star, Angelina Jolie.”  Enough said.

Wanted (rent it on iTunes) – Co-starring James McAvoy (Penelope, X-Men: First Class) and Morgan Freeman (Feast of Love) is about an unsuspecting average guy (played by McAvoy) who turns out to be the son of a super assassin.  Captured by an elite society of assassins, he is paired by the limber and cat-like “Fox”, played by Jolie.  Besides memorable, gravity-defying action sequences, the ability for these assassins to arc a bullet with a unique shooting technique is a fun part of this movie.  Download The Album: iTunes | Buy CD

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (rent it on iTunes) – Co-starring Brad Pitt (Killing Them Softly, Tree of Life), this movie is about two undercover spies who happen to be married to each other.  They eventually discover each other’s occupation through their latest mission.
