CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com While Irwin Winkler's bittersweet film constructs a touching allegory--Kevin Kline's character is diagnosed with terminal cancer and sets about both salvaging a relationship with his estranged son and building the house of his dreams--it's also the kind of story that requires a deft musical touch, one that embodies a sense of buoyant optimism even as it heads toward the dramatically inevitable. Alternating between vibrant, rhythmic passages carried largely by mallet instruments (and resembling a more structured take on similar Tom Newman cues) and the melancholy of his quietly effective writing for strings and solo piano, Mark Isham's score strikes an almost perfect emotional balance amid a minefield of potential bathos. It also fuses some of the composer's modern minimalist composing instincts and spacious sense of dynamics with the more traditionally pastoral, resulting in emotionally introspective music that is considerably more than the sum of its parts. --Jerry McCulley Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsReal Soundtrack Julia Martin | Seattle, WA United States | 04/10/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "I agree that the soundtrack is more like a score. The music on the film was awesome and I think you should take the previously given advice and create your own soundtrack. I have the DVD and I wrote down all the songs from the credits. Here they are:Guster - What You Wish For Guster - Rainy Day Limp Bizkit - Re-arranged Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams [Are Made of This] Supertones - Who Can Be Against Me Violent Femmes - Children of the Revolution Gob - That's the Way On - Soluble Words Default - Live a Lie Default - Somewhere Ohgr - Water Deadsy - Gramercy Park" Life As A House... Big Emotional Breakthrough in movies Betsy | Indiana | 04/13/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "I'm a 14 year old girl who has recently watched Life as A House. The movie was excellent and really touched my heart with it's meanings. It's my favorite movie and I hope that more people will watch it. Anyways, thanks for all of your reviews about the Soundtrack. I was searching for it in the local stores, and had I not found out that it was only scores from the movie, not the pop/rock songs (that really helped the movie, I think, rather than the scores) were on there, I would have bought it. Thanks! And I also would like to say that The pop/rock songs on the movie were great, and I made a soundtrack of my own from the songs I caught on the scroll at the end. Here's a list:Guster - What You Wish For Guster - Rainy Day Limp Bizkit - Re-arranged Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams [Are Made of This] Supertones - Who Can Be Against Me Violent Femmes - Children of the Revolution Gob - That's the Way On - Soluble Words Default - Live a Lie Default - Somewhere Ohgr - Water Deadsy - Gramercy Park I hope someone finds this helpful! Keep watching the movie, as have I like 25 times! hehe. It's awesome" All the other songs from the film...
