His name is Hannibal and I’ll unleash him tonight. He’ll be doing reviews and feature articles and today’s rant will be about Remakes, so make sure you check out Soundtrack Geek tonight because it will provoke as well as entertain you. Oh and his introduction is short, but it’s all you need to know (apparently).
A funk loving cat owner who will buy entire DVD series box sets just because he likes the show’s soundtrack.
There you go folks, it can’t get better than that!

Loading ...Soundtrack Review: Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)
This is a review of the motion picture score for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa by Hans Zimmer & Will.I.Am.
“Hans Zimmer and Will.I.Am delivers a soundtrack that has you going from start to end and Zimmer’s main theme is one of the best themes you’ll hear this year”
Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria are back for another adventure in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. The first movie came out in 2005 and was also partially composed by Hans Zimmer. This time he has collaborated with Will.I.Am which most people know from making the inspirational Obama songs. Will.I.Am has previously made music for many movies including Epic Movie, Freedom Writers and Stealth.
Judging by the reviews of this movie, it’s more of a kiddie movie this time than last, I don’t agree after seeing it this weekend. It’s still as fun and entertaining as the first one, and for kids as well as adults. The music however, might indicate a more family friendly environment as they mix Hans Zimmer’s instrumental music with Will.I.Am’s vocal songs. Is the soundtrack as entertaining as the movie? Read more to find out.
