Score Your Week | Lost Season 1

At the beginning of the week here at Filmdogs, a member of the pack will be offering a recommendation for a soundtrack to help you speed up those never ending work days and (if possible) inspire you.

One of my most fulfilling cinematic moments of 2010 was watching the bone white text appear one last time at the end of my favorite show, LOST. It was an astonishing moment for me to look back at six years with these characters and their journey, and finally find closure. Luckily I will be able to relive what I could consider to be my favorite film of 2010 once again, as the final season hits dvd this Tuesday. In honor of this fantastic week I will be spotlighting one of the most important characters of Lost, Michael Giacchino’s music. Giacchino has produced some of the best and most interesting scores of late including Star Trek, Fringe, The Incredibles, and his oscar winning score for Up, but it is with Lost that he really made his mark. From screeching horns to piano ballads, Giacchino helped usher along every emotion that the show had to offer.

Lost Week | Favorite Moments

The most epic TV series ever has inspired the most epic post I’ve ever put together. I couldn’t think of a better way to show my appreciation for Lost than to showcase some of my favorite moment’s from the series. Now, most of these aren’t the typical “shocking” Lost cliffhangers. They are the scenes that I’ve kept coming back to over the years because they feature the characters I’ve come to love in their most emotional and relieving moments. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.

Season 5: The Incident Jacob and the Man in Black.

I knew the finale of Lost’s mind-bending 5th season would be a game changer, and this opening scene in which we finally see the players of the island “game” (Jacob and The Man in Black) gave me plenty to think until season six. Read the rest of this entry »
