Welcome to Bill Wrobel's Film Score Rundowns, a cue by cue analysis of the greatest film, radio and television works that the 20th Century has to offer. This site encourages musical learning and, in each and every Rundown, takes the unusual route of employing a purely proffessional prose for describing and detailing the titles presented here (disregarding the brand new "general review" section). Just keep in mind that The Rundowns are not regular reviews. They're not really even reviews at all. This site is unlike Soundtrack.net or Filmtracks.com in that it caters specifically to those already in the music field or with the knowledge: upcoming arrangers, teachers, orchestrators and—yes—composers.

As of lately, Film Score Rundowns has experienced a major face lift. The layout has changed, as has most of everything else. You can still find everything that was here before except with some new material added around the corners as well. Over the course of the next few weeks there will be general score reviews added in addition to a brand new blog section by Bill Wrobel. As to the Rundowns themselves: I'm playing around with the idea of converting them all into html format for this webpage so Adobe Acrobat isn't required. If you preferred the Adobe PDF format, that's fine, it will still available here for you and is currently the default anyway. I'm just thinking about putting a little more variety out there for you.
