Jigsaw is back with a new puzzle and 21 ass-kicking songs in Saw VI. Here’s the list of songs from the movie, 18 of which are on the Saw VI soundtrack album. The only problem with the soundtrack album is that it is an all or nothing proposition. You can’t get any of the songs individually. There’s also no mercy in the music itself. From Mushroomhead and Hatebreed to Lacuna Coil and Type of Negative, this soundtrack doesn’t mess around.

I was surprised to find Nitzer Ebb in the mix. I haven’t heard that name since high school. The last album of theirs that I listened to was released about 20 years ago. Join in the Chant is still a ridiculously song, but man, was I taken aback. Of course, they were featured in Saw 4, GTA 4 and NCIS, so maybe I shouldn’t be that surprised.

I haven’t seen Saw VI yet, so I have the list of songs but don’t have any information about the scenes the songs were in yet. If you post any of the songs you can remember in the comments, I will update the post with the info.

Original music to Saw VI – Charlie Clouser

There are only 5 songs in Cirque du Freak, but you can find all of them here. The soundtrack album for The Vampire’s Assistant only has the score by Stephen Trask, but here are the videos and downloads for tunes from James Brown, Cold War Kids, Nick Cave, The Fratellis and Brent Lewis.

It’s not quite the Twilight soundtrack – in fact, the Cirque du Freak soundtrack is much shorter than most movie soundtracks these days – but the quality of the songs measures up.

Here are the songs from the movie:

• There Was A Time (Kenny Dope Remix) – James Brown
• Something Is Not Right With Me – Cold War Kids
• Red Right Hand – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
• Chelsea Dagger – The Fratellis
• Dinner At The Sugarbush – Brent Lewis
• Original Score – Stephen Trask

The first song in the trailer is Asleep from Day by Chemical Brothers.

The Whip It soundtrack album only has 20 songs, but all 57 songs from the movie are here. It is a great soundtrack and a perfect complement to one of the best movies I have seen this year.

Ellen Page is fantastic as Babe Ruthless, but so is the rest of the cast too. Juliette Lewis is great as Page’s arch enemy in the round. Jimmy Fallon is much funnier than he is in late night. Drew Barrymore is rough and tumble in a entertaining way – watch for those flying elbows. But two of the best surprises in the movie were Kristen Wiig and Andrew Wilson. Forget Luke and Owen – Andrew is the Wilson of choice. He is brilliant as the derby coach trying really hard to help a team resisting it. And Kristen Wiig is one of the funniest understated actors around right now. Her under-her-breath comments are hysterical.

But Whip It is about the music as much as the quips and quirks. Drew Barrymore demonstrates her chops in scrunching 57 great songs into the movie. She even casts singer Landon Pigg as the love interest. From The Ramones to the Raveonettes, Wilson Phillips to Radiohead, Young MC to the Breeders, Thirty Eight Special to Peaches and Cut Chemist to Kings of Leon, the soundtrack is a brilliant mess. It made me want to escape to some random attic with an age old record player and waste away a weekend of rain with a stack of albums and a smile.

The soundtrack album to Whip It has about a third of the songs from the movie on it. Not to worry, here’s the complete list of songs from the movie, in the order they appeared in the movie, with notes on the scenes they were in where I could figure them out. I had a really hard time placing many of the songs, because they were just whip-it snippets. If you know the scenes for any of the other songs, I would be very grateful if you could share.

Here’s the song from the pool:

[Note: sorry it took so long to put up this post. I moved from Washington, DC to Los Angeles last week, and drove the 2,700 miles to make the trip. I’ve been short on time. Finally posting after I had some time on the plane to write. No rest for the whip-it.]

There are 47 songs in the movie Fame. Here are all of the songs and the scenes they were in. The soundtrack album to Fame has a decent number of the songs – 19 – but there are some great songs missing from there. Not to worry. We’ll take care of you. Certainly better than the critics will.

Judging by how much the audience clapped at the end of the movie (particularly for Kherington), the critics who took a shot at Fame should go break a pencil and let the fans speak for this one. I enjoyed the movie. The music was great – particularly the Naturi Naughton and Collins Pennie numbers at the party and then later in the club. I also liked the remix of Santigold and Black and Gold by Sam Sparro. Maybe there’s a theme there somewhere.

There’s also a lot of classical music in the movie, none of which made it onto the soundtrack. I guess the producer’s didn’t think Bach would sell as well as Asher Book.

The movie (and songs) got a little forced towards the end there, but all around, it was a good show. I could have used one or two fewer characters in exchange for one or two more meaningful scenes with each of the core cast, but I guess we are all smart enough to fill in the empty scenes that landed on the cutting room floor in order to keep the movie paced for the So You Think You Can Idol generation.

Here’s the complete list of all 47 songs from Fame, with notes on the scenes that 45 of the 47 of the songs were in and links to downloads for most of them:

Megan Fox isn’t the only thing hot about Jennifer’s Body. The soundtrack to Jennifer’s Body also kicks some ass. The movie features music from Silversun Pickups, Cobra Starship, Snoop, Panic at the Disco, Black Kids and Hole – 19 songs in all.

The song that doesn’t quite fit is Two Tickets to Paradise by Eddie Money. Oh well, it’s a fun song.

There are 11 songs in the Love Happens soundtrack, including The Eels, The Postal Service and Rogue Wave. The downloads for all of them are here.

I have not seen this movie yet. Frankly, I had forgotten about it until I visited Box Office Mojo to see what was being released today. It has not gotten all that much buzz. But to tell you the truth, I have been listening to the music from the movie all morning, and it is brilliant.

I was drawn in by Badly Drawn Boy. The soundtrack to About a Boy is still a classic in my mind. But combine them with The Eels, The Postal Service and Rogue Wave, and now you are talking. But not just any ordinary Rogue Wave song, we’re talking a cover of Buddy Holly’s Everyday (plus Lake Michigan). The soundtrack also takes you back a bit – to John Hiatt singing Have a Little Faith in Me. Classic.

This soundtrack has romantic comedy written all over it. In fact, the soundtrack to Love Happens is a bit derivative. Dream is from Bride Wars, Fresh Feeling is from Failure to Launch and IO was in Elizabethtown, (plus Everyday is from Stubbs the Zombie). Still, it is damn good. Light, subdued, a bit poppy and good. Just what I needed for a muted morning in DC.

• The Time of Times – Badly Drawn Boy
• Dream – Priscilla Ahn
• Life In Ashes – Curt Sobel and Gary Schreiner
• Lake Michigan – Rogue Wave
• Fresh Feeling – Eels
• Acidtar Bollyhop – Curt Sobel and Gary Schreiner
• We Will Become Silhouettes – The Postal Service
• Your Hand In Mine – Explosions in the Sky
• Have A Little Faith in Me – John Hiatt
• IO (This Time Around) – Helen Stellar
• Everyday – Rogue Wave

Original music for Love Happens – Christopher Young

There are 13 songs in I Can Do Bad All By Myself. There’s no soundtrack album, but you can find all of the songs here.

It’s a solid mix of tunes, with a couple songs each from Mary J. Blige and Gladys Knight, as well as tunes from Ruthie Foster and Club Indigo Band.

I only had time to post once this past weekend and should have written about I Can Do Bad All By Myself expecting that it would be number one, as opposed to Sorority Row. After all, Tyler Perry has had five number ones out of the eight movies he has released – an incredible streak. Trying to make up for the lapse now.

Here’s the complete list of songs from I Can Do All By Myself. For some reason, they did not release a soundtrack album for the  movie, but you can find all of the songs from the movie here.

• Rock Steady – Cheryl Pepsii Riley (Aretha version)
• Tears Of Pain – Ruthie Foster
• Playboy – Candy Coated Killahz
• The Need To Be – Gladys Knight
• Indigo Blues – Club Indigo Band
• I Can Do Bad – Mary J. Blige
• Just Don’t Wanna Know/Over It Now – Gladys Knight
• Just Don’t Wanna Know/Over It Now – Marvin Winans
• Contagious – Chocolate Butterfly
• Lovers Heat – Club Indigo Band
• H.D.Y. – Club Indigo Band
• Oh Lord I Want You To Help Me – Cheryl Pepsii Riley and Marvin Winans (version by the Queens of Harmony)
• Good Woman Down – Mary J. Blige

Here’s a remix of Candy Coating Killah’s Playboy:

There are 20 songs in the movie Sorority Row – 14 of the songs are on the soundtrack album, but you can find all 20 here.

Call it Die Beta Kappa – it’s a slasher of a good time. And the music is not bad either. Frankly, I was surprised by many of the tunes in Sorority Row. Ghosts by Ladytron – now that I would expect. But I would not have thought that Camera Obscura would be on the soundtrack to a horror movie…or RuPaul for that matter either. But maybe the latter makes more sense when you pair it with Get U Home Tonight by Schwayze.

The soundtrack is a cross of ethereal obscura with club tunes. Bizarre. But then again, the movie IS about killer sorority girls. So what if it’s like a redbull cosmo or a tea-infused trashcan punch – it goes down smoothly if you drink it quickly, but it carries a bit of an extra kick.

Here’s the complete list of songs from Sorority Row with downloads for them as well:

• Tear Me Up by Stefy Rae
• I Like Dem Girls by Classic
• Break It Down by Alana D
• Goodbye Summer by The Daylights
• I Get Around by Dragonette
• Petit Pays by Cesaria Evora
• Say What You Want by The Deekompressors
• Afternoons With You by Jeff Babko
• 42 West Avenue by Cashier No.9
• Jealous Of My Boogie by RuPaul
• Alcoholic by Cash Crop
• Doin’ My Thing by King Juju
• Ghosts by Ladytron
• This Night by Lucian Piane
• Get U Home (Paul Oakenfold Remix) by Shwayze
• I Want Your Love by Chromatics
• I’m Good, I’m Gone (Black Kids Remix) by Lykke Zachrisson
• Tears For Affairs by Camera Obscura
• Emergency by Aimee Allen
• Get Up by A.D.

Original music for Sorority Row by Lucian Piane

I had not heard anything about the movie Daybreakers until I saw the preview for the movie before Gamer. It started off a bit slow for me, but then Placebo’s version of “Running Up That Hill” kicked in. All of sudden, I am counting down the days until the movie comes out (January 8, 2010). I probably would have seen it anyway. After all, apocalyptic vampire movies are dead center on my popcorn movie list. But now, I really want to see it.

The line they use in the clip is perfect: “If I only could make a deal with God and get him to swap our places.” All redemption and rebirth – vampire saves the humans that he had literally been living off of. Perfect.

Update: the song is also used in the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries. There must be something about the line and vampires. Looks like I’ll be watching the series too.

But back to the movie…Sure, the song is probably not going to be featured in the movie. But it doesn’t have to be. It has done it’s job. Now I cannot miss it. Whoever cut the trailer deserves a cut of my ticket. It’s like Marilyn Manson’s “If I Was Your Vampire” in the trailer for Max Payne. I think the trailer was actually better than the movie itself – and all because of the song.

The original Kate Bush version of “Running Up That Hill” was first used in the 80s movie Chocolate War. A good flick, made better by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. I hope the same can be said for Daybreakers.

There are 22 songs in All About Steve. The soundtrack album to All About Steve only has 7 of the songs from the movie, but you can find all of the songs from the movie here. It’s not a bad soundtrack. I would rate it better than the movie itself, which got really terrible reviews. Still, the reviews didn’t keep people away. So if you saw the movie and were wondering what the names of the songs were in the film, you are in luck – you can find them below.

The All About Steve soundtrack includes a couple songs from Nikka Costa and the always listenable Cake, as well as Bob Schneider, Phantom Planet and Train. Shirt Skirt/Long Jacket and Drops of Jupiter are a throwback to the recent past. I forget sometimes how much I like Cake and should definitely cook me up a new mix (or Grooveshark autoplay) for the fall.The Phantom Planet song is growing on me as well.

Here’s the complete list of songs from All About Steve, including the links to download them on Amazon. Hope you enjoy.
