I Have Already Been Recommended:

Lord of The Rings,
Troy,
braveheart,
Kingdom Of Heaven,
Alexander,
Pathfinder,
Gladiator,
King Arthur,
300

So Something Along These Lines Would Be Good

The Princess Bride is hilarious and has a few good sword fights in it

Posted by admin on February 1st, 2010 and filed under soundtrack braveheart | 4 Comments »

i need some new tunes for my ipod… any suggestions??
i like any music except ‘chavvy’ music, like ndubz and that.
i love Lady Gaga and Katy Perry and Black Eyed Peas and JLS.
that kinda music.
i also like film soundtracks.. like the Gladiator theme, or ‘braveheart‘.
im a nerd, ok :) im in the UK by the way

Ke$ha - Tik Tok, Take It Off, Kiss N Tell, more. Check out her new album.
Black Eyed Pes - Well, almost anything from them is good
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
A Soundtrack you might be interestied in is Armageddon. It isn’t new, from 1998. But it has some really great songs on there, including songs from Journey and Aerosmith.
Anything from Hanson, even though they aren’t in the spot light any more. They are having a new album coming out in the spring. But check out their old stuff too. They are amazing. My favorite band of all time.
Leona Lewis stuff is pretty
Christina Aguilera, all her songs, new and old are amazing
Britney Spears

Weapons from the movie ‘Avatar’…….?

Posted by admin on January 30th, 2010 and filed under braveheart sword | 2 Comments »

Im a weapon collector, a medieval/fantasy weapon collector might i add, swords, axes, maces, clubs, bows etc….you name it!lol. I absolutely friggin love james cameron’s new movie Avatar, and i wanna find some display and/or full-contact weapons from the film, like the bows, the knives, daggers, etc….but i cant seem to find them online from any dealer or website at all. Avatar is the type of movie that would have replica weapons for sale somwhere but i havent seen any yet, Lord of the rings of course has it’s collection, star wars, harry potter, braveheart etc….but where are the Avatar weapons?! lol…..do any of you know of any sites that sell weapons from the movie Avatar??? Thanks! :-)
I’ll take another best answer now. ;)

This site sells some of the jewelry and daggers used in the film:

Unfortunately, this is all I could find.

My other suggestion would be to check here:

You might be able to get your hands on some fanbrew stuff. :D

Medieval Music on iTunes?

Posted by admin on January 30th, 2010 and filed under soundtrack braveheart | 2 Comments »

I’m trying to find some songs on iTunes that sound like they are from medieval times. I have the braveheart soundtrack and love it, but I need more. Like the music you’d find on some video games as the background music. Any suggestions?

Mark Sinclair’s "Baroque" from the album "K’nama" is available on i-tunes

What song was playing today on the minnesota radio station 88.5 at about 12:30 this morning?

Posted by admin on January 25th, 2010 and filed under soundtrack braveheart | 1 Comment »

it had bagpipes throughout the whole thing and some soft guitar in there, too. I think the song was in the braveheart soundtrack, but i could be mistaken. oh, and on that note, does anyone know any good bagpipe players or bands that you would recomend me purchasing? Im looking for something like the bagpipe sounds in braveheart sort of thing.
>> yeah i tried to find it on the website, but it wasnt there.

You’ll never find it here- Look on the radio station’s website, station’s oftentimes post their tracklist for the day

Thanks. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Well if you really want this stuff than don’t change the list at all. Just because it’s on there doesn’t mean that "Santa" will bring it to you. It really just more of a list of suggestions of things you would like. Anyways it is *your* list and its what *you* want that matters so it doesn’t really matter what anyone on Y!A thinks you should change.

who would win in a no-weapons fight: the NFL Pro Bowl D Line or an equal # of SEALS/Green Berets?

Posted by admin on January 15th, 2010 and filed under braveheart sword | 3 Comments »

Just mano y mano with no guns/knives/explosives/clubs or anything. Total braveheart style minus the swords and axes.

Reason it out. The Seals/Green Berets are parts of the US military, which hasn’t won a war in decades. And as parts aren’t more effective than the whole, infer that the Seals/Berets are ineffectual. Further, these losers would be facing a winning team of proven knock-down artists… Need I say more?

Bluray movies from computer to HDTV…Quality problems?

Posted by admin on January 15th, 2010 and filed under braveheart download | 1 Comment »

Hey guys, just starting to get into the whole bluray thing and damn does it ever make the biggest difference in quality. Love going to futureshop and awe at the 1080p big screens playing braveheart or sumthing…. Anyways, i have my laptop which is connected to my 32" 720p by HDMI cord of course. I dont have a bluray drive in laptop but i download bluray movies onto my laptop and play it via HDMI to TV… I dont know if i am doing it wrong or sumthing cuz i dont notice that amazing difference anymore? am i loosing quality somehow by downloading bluray and not having the proper player? Sum self-help realizations ive come to for the problem are…

1) real bluray movies are around 50gigs. gettin em online they downconvert it to usually 8gb. could be loss of quality there? but would it be significant?

2) When playing bluray on a 720p tv i should up’ up my resolution of laptop to 1280X720, in accordance to a 720p tv with 720p movie. But still didnt really see difference

3) i understand that 1080p looks better then 720p but only usually noticeable on much larger tv’s. Thus, a tv my size it wouldn’t matter, amirite?

4) perhaps my video card on my laptop just cant play bluray discs in there full glory, it is incompatible or sumthing. And yes i play the movies through VLC

5) i need glasses, lol but really the high definition i could see from bluray is quite noticeable on vivid colours and really defined textures i.e u can see the ripples in sum guys leather jacket, u can see the polish shined glare of a car in fast and furious etc….

is there sumthing im missing here? oh and laptop is hp pavillion dv6000

You cant get the quality of blue ray through a computer, because your computer like you said is not a blue ray player. Downloading a blue ray movie is the same as downloading any other thing online, the picture quality sound or anything else isnt the same as if you had a blue ray player and blue ray movie discs. So right now you’re just watching regular movies. To get the blue ray definition, you would need to buy a blue ray player. or a ps3! lol :)

What’s the difference between a soundtrack and a score? Read details…?

Posted by admin on January 15th, 2010 and filed under soundtrack braveheart | 1 Comment »

I thought the soundtrack was all the music on a movie used in, but not composed specifically for, the movie. However, I recently received Philip Sheppard’s score to the documentary, In The Shadow of the Moon. Right there on the front of the cd case, it says, "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack".
I checked my braveheart score and it says the same thing. Now I’m confused!
Could someone clear this up for me? I have great interest in movie music and also compose a little music myself. I would really like to be in the know on this. Thank you!

Score usually means music written specifically for the film/play, and is usually instrumental
