'The Dark Knight' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack — the haunting score to the hotly anticipated feature film 'The Dark Knight' — will be released by Warner Bros. Records on July 15, 2008, three days before the movie opens nationwide on July 18th.

Composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, who collaborated on the score for the 2005 blockbuster Batman Begins, were asked by director Christopher Nolan to work together again, scoring its follow-up, 'The Dark Knight.' The duo recorded the orchestral soundtrack for the film in London this April.

Warner Bros. Records will release four different configurations of 'The Dark Knight' soundtrack: a standard jewel case CD, a 2 LP set of heavy-weight 180 gram vinyl version, a special edition digipack, and a collector’s edition with special artwork to come after release.

The follow-up to the action hit “Batman Begins,” 'The Dark Knight' reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good.

The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.

The film also stars Michael Caine as Alfred; Heath Ledger as arch-villain The Joker; Gary Oldman as Lieutenant Jim Gordon; Aaron Eckhart as District Attorney Harvey Dent; Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes; and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox.

So, if you would like to win one of these new CDs then just answer this easy question: Christopher Nolan directed the film from a screenplay written by which very 'close friend' of his?!

Starring Adrian Grenier ('Entourage," "The Devil Wears Prada"), Mila Kunis ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "That 70s Show") and Joey McIntyre (New Kids on the Block), the long-awaited movie version of 'TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING' makes its way onto DVD on July 15th.

Inspired by the legendary and long-running off-Broadway play, Roger Paradiso's directorial debut keeps the unorthodox spirit of the original stage production. Reminiscent of Christopher Guest's films, 'TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING' takes a satirical "look" inside the madness of weddings and family dynamics, and spares no one in this front-pew spectacle that is at once funny and perhaps painfully familiar.

Tony (McIntyre) and Tina (Kunis) are deeply in love, but the larger-than-life personalities of their Italian families make for a chaotic, combustible energy destined to ignite mayhem on the couple's blissful day. Tina's mother disapproves of Tony's family, especially his father who runs a seedy strip club. Tony's father wants his reluctant son to join the family business, and has an odd idea of what is appropriate wedding reception entertainment. Tina's bridesmaids have a flair for the déclassé, as one drinks while pregnant and the other flirts with the band's lead singer over her boyfriend's objections.

Cut to Tina's ex-boyfriend Michael (Grenier), who crashes the wedding, and whose lingering feelings for the bride threaten to derail the ceremony – that is, unless Tony's drug-dealer friend can get the jilted boyfriend too stoned to care. As the day unravels, the wedding spirals into a hilarious circus, but one that may be too much for the newlyweds to handle. Can their fledgling relationship survive their families' antics? Paradiso's skillful scripting, Altmanesque framing, and talented cast meld into a touching, comedic take on the tension between family ties and a couple's love.

As the second-longest running off-Broadway show of all time, 'TONY N' TINA'S WEDDING' is best known for its use of the audience as members of the wedding party. The movie cleverly duplicates that scenario through the subjective lens of one of its characters, Raphael, the film student-wedding videographer, whose camera always seems to be at the wrong place at the right time. This enables the viewer to share a similar vantage point as the handheld camera swerves and swoops, capturing the unfolding events in cinema-verité style. The film effectively combines scripted scenarios with improvisation, as extended rehearsals allowed the actors to familiarize themselves intimately with their characters.

The street date of the much-anticipated 'Tony n' Tina's Wedding' DVD is July 15.

To paraphrase from the title of a vintage jazz ballad, “It Was a Beautiful Three Days in August,” when singer/songwriter Marilyn Scott fulfilled her long-held dream of recording an acoustic jazz album in New York City the way the legends used to do it - with the singer and musicians all cutting and working out arrangements together in the studio.

Christened Every Time We Say Goodbye, the album is a dreamy throwback to a purer aesthetic that marks the 30th anniversary of Ms. Scott's impressively eclectic recording career - one in which she has successfully sung soul, pop, smooth jazz, adult contemporary and music for motion pictures. However, anyone who has listened to her CDs knows that jazz has been a prominent part of the foundation of her artistic architecture. So much so that she is the only vocalist in the history of Billboard magazine to have two different albums charting on the Contemporary Jazz and Traditional Jazz charts - simultaneously.

Now on Every Time We Say Goodbye, Marilyn Scott is taking her love for jazz to new heights with a seasoned East Coast quintet led by acclaimed pianist Cyrus Chestnut, produced for the Japan-based Venus Records imprint by label president Tetsuo Hara and veteran jazz musician/producer Todd Barkan - his partner of 15 years.

The 10-song repertoire is comprised of smoky wee hours standards such as the Cole Porter-penned title track, a Rio-kissed samba take on Irving Berlin's “I Got Lost in His Arms” and a blues walk through “Detour Ahead.” The arrangements offer fresh nuances to familiar favorites as do Marilyn's artful and articulate vocal interpretations.

So, if you would like to win one of these new CDs then just answer this easy question: The quintet that backs her consists of reed man Ken Peplowski, guitarist Paul Bollenback, bassist Gerald Cannon, drummer Willie Jones III and pianist ______ ________?!

Neil Young says the soundtrack to the forthcoming Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young documentary "CSNY: Deja Vu" constitutes the best album ever made by the legendary supergroup

The documentary will hit U.S. theaters July 25 simultaneous with its home video and retail release. The soundtrack is due July 22 via Reprise. "Deja Vu" was captured on CSNY's 2006 Freedom of Speech tour, during which the band often split audiences along party lines while delving heavily into its protest songs and the balance of Young's then-new anti-war album "Living With War."

"The basic mixes are the mixes that people heard when we were playing it," Young continues. "So it's got rough spots all the way through it, which I think is refreshing, especially considering the subject matter. Why should we polish? Why polish this? Who gives a shit whether it's polished or not? It is what it is, and that's the message of the music. It's what we're doing. If you don't like, you don't like it. If you like it, you like it.

In stores today from Michael W. Smith, Seabourne Pictures and Randall House is the innovative new small group study series on DVD called C2: Giving Movies a Second Look. C2 is designed to help individuals develop critical thinking skills when watching movies. Although just hitting retail shelves, C2’s Love At First Sight [Volume One] and Relapse [Volume Two] are already garnering acclaim from film, group leader and media critics alike.

Entering and receiving exclusive appearances at three respected film festivals, Love At First Sight and Relapse have been featured in the 2008 Nashville and Tallahassee Film Festivals respectively, and “Relapse” will be featured in the upcoming 2008 River's Edge International Film Festival in Paducah, KY.

Garnering acclaim for its theatrical quality, C2 is expected to help meet the increased demand for DVD curriculum, as well as the growing demand from fans of Christian films. Each C2 DVD contains a twenty-minute original short film along with bonus features, which include a personal introduction from Michael W. Smith, behind-the-scenes movie features, out-takes, director’s comments and deleted movie scenes. The leader of a small group will have access to helpful tools, including study guides for three separate lessons relating directly to the movie and promoting critical thinking.

“In today’s culture it’s imperative that we help teens and young adults develop critical thinking skills for the movies, entertainment and art they interact with,” says Darren Whitehead, Willow Creek Community Church youth minister. “Michael W. Smith has stepped up to meet this challenge by developing a groundbreaking resource in C2. It’s entertaining, easy to use and engaging.”

Collide Magazine adds that “C2 will be a great addition to any small group” and calls Relapse “beautifully filmed, well-written and emotionally stirring…”

Love At First Sight - Co-written and directed by Mark Cowart and scored by David Hamilton, Love at First Sight features two teenage video store clerks who argue about the possibility of love at first sight when the year’s biggest romantic drama hits the shelves. Jessica loves the movie and the idea of falling in love at first sight; Dane thinks it’s ridiculous and claims that his favorite film, an obscure independent French film, is a much better love story. She issues a challenge, he accepts, and their friendly competition leads to an eye-opening surprise. The acompanying small group study will provide discussion points related to true love, judging others and accepting differing opinions.

Relapse - Written and directed by Ryan Smith and scored by Jim Daneker, Relapse is a drama dealing with themes of addiction, grief and bioethics. Grief affects each parent differently as time goes by. The mother has found a unique way to avoid dealing with her grief.

The show also featured DeLane Matthews (“General Hospital”), Meshach Taylor (“Designing Women”) and Shadoe Stevens (“The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson”). Based on the celebrated books Dave Barry's Greatest Hits and Dave Barry Turns 40 from humorist and Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist Dave Barry, 'DAVE’S WORLD: THE FIRST SEASON' arrives on DVD for the first time ever on August 12 from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment for $24.00 SRP.

And so, with their brotherhood at stake, the second season presents a no-holds-barred fresh look at the two former friends' damaged relationship. Nothing they say or do is off-limits to the cameras in this new cinema verite take on the 80's icons.

Throughout the series, Feldman and Haim try a variety of tasks to resuscitate their relationship. Along the way, both Coreys will deal with very real issues (including their reunion on Lost Boys 2), go to therapy sessions together, reveal their demons and confront their storied pasts.

The A&E Real-Life series 'THE TWO COREYS,' airs Sundays at 10:00pm ET/PT. Visit www.aetv.com/the-two-coreys for more information.

Encanto is the follow-up to 2006’s highly acclaimed collaboration with will.i.am called Timeless. On Encanto, Sergio takes us even deeper into Brazil recording all the basic tracks in Rio and Bahia, finishing up in Los Angeles.

Perhaps the boldest cover on Encanto is a new version of Burt Bacharach’s “The Look Of Love,” which Mendes had originally transposed to bossa nova heaven in 1967. This new interpretation, produced by Black Eye Pea will.i.am, preserves the alluring melody of the original while bringing the song into the new millennium with crisp drum programming and a sexy rap by Fergie.

Italian-born singer-songwriter Elisa, already a multi-platinum, award-winning superstar in her native country, makes her North American debut this month with her new full-length album, Dancing (Sugar/Universal).

The album, which powerfully showcases the genre-bending artist’s emotionally resonant pop-rock sound, premieres at iTunes on June 17 (including a bonus track, Elisa’s cover of the Stones’ “Wild Horses”) and will be released at physical retail and other digital outlets on July 15.

Dancing builds on the love that Stateside audiences have been feeling for Elisa ever since the title track was featured on Fox-TV’s hit show So You Think You Can Dance in June, 2007. Immediately following Lacey Schwimmer and Kameron Bink’s breathtaking routine, “Dancing” shot into the Top 20 on iTunes (the only place it’s currently available), and has since amassed more than 75,000 paid downloads, still selling briskly at 600+ downloads per week. On YouTube, organic audience reaction to the song has also resulted in more than one million views of the SYTYCD clip, making it the all-time most-viewed dance from the show online.

Fans of "Dancing” will feel in sync with the richly textured album’s other songs including “Rainbow,” an ethereal and hypnotic ballad that’s another lead track. Highlights also include the delicate yet passionately soaring album opener “The Waves,” the spare and aching “Broken,” the rock-flavored “Stranger” and Elisa’s gorgeous, almost elegiac take on Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” the album’s one cover. Throughout, her emotional intelligence and soulfully immediate – and intimate – lead vocals make for a spellbinding musical journey.

Lyricist/singer/multi-instrumentalist/producer Greg Laswell finds himself released from heartache with Three Flights From Alto Nido, his sophomore full-length album on Vanguard Records, to be released July 8th. Three Flights From Alto Nido is the enigmatically, yet aptly titled third volume of his trilogy of heartbreak and redemption.

In 2006, Laswell’s Through Toledo was an intimate account of a devastating experience in his life. How The Day Sounds, a six song EP released earlier this year, served as a bridge toward self-realization while vividly capturing the sense of healing and moving on. Three Flights From Alto Nido resonates with a grand, therapeutic soundscape gained from renewal and letting go of loss.

As with his prior Vanguard releases, Three Flights From Alto Nido was written, recorded and produced at his home studios in San Diego, Dana Point and Santa Ana, CA. The task of mixing the album was placed in the hands of Greg Collins who has mixed, produced and/or engineered tracks for Grammy winners U2, Joss Stone and the Dixie Chicks as well as many other notable acts.

With his elegantly expressive piano technique and feathery acoustic guitar work, Greg has drawn comparisons to such reputable songsmiths as Jeff Buckley, Coldplay, Ron Sexsmith and Radiohead. His intense lyrics and sweeping melodies amplify to create an eloquent sound that matches his hypnotic and haunting tenor.

So, if you would like to win one of these new AUTOGRAPHED CDs and exclusive posters; and you think you know all there is to know about Greg and his music, then just answer this easy question: The demos for 'Three Flights From Alto Nido' were first introduced to his record label Vanguard via arrangements created using which named software from which company?!

On June 24, Peak Records (Concord Music Group) released Sax for Stax, the latest album from one of the most respected and sought after Jazz / R&B crossover saxophonists, Gerald Albright.

Consisting of eight passionately rendered covers of Stax classics, plus three originals written with Memphis in mind, Sax for Stax pays tribute to the legendary Memphis-based record label that defined Southern soul from the 1950s to the mid 1970s, coinciding with Concord Music Group’s re-launching of the Stax label, and also Stax’s 50th anniversary.

Co-produced by Rex Rideout and featuring guest appearances from Earth Wind & Fire’s Philip Bailey on ‘Whatcha See is Whatcha Get’ - a 1971 hit by vocal quintet The Dramatics, Will Downing on ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’ - a Top 5 hit for Isaac Hayes and R&B vocalist Ledisi, who duets with Albright on the Staple Singers classic ‘Respect Yourself’.

Marking his eleventh solo project, authenticity and purity have always been crucial to Gerald Albright, especially on the soul music of Sax for Stax, which demands an all-natural approach. While paying homage to some of the most celebrated R&B classics in history, Albright manages to put his own signature twist on each song, only further solidifying his position as one of the most respected and sought after saxophonists to straddle the fence of jazz and R&B.

Following in the footsteps of megasellers Neil Gaiman and Jim Butcher, comic book writer Mike Carey presents his second hip supernatural thriller featuring freelance exorcist Felix Castor.

Castor has reluctantly returned to exorcism after the case of the Bonnington Archive ghost convinced him that he really can do some good with his abilities ('good', of course, being a relative term when dealing with the undead).

But his friend, Rafi, is still possessed; the succubus, Ajulutsikael (Juliet to her friends), still technically has a contract on him; and he's still - let's not beat around the bush - dirt poor.

Doing some consulting for the local constabulary helps pay the bills, but Castor needs a big, private job to really fill the hole in his overdraft. That's what he needs.

What he gets, good fortune and Castor not being on speaking terms, is a seemingly insignificant 'missing ghost' case that inexorably drags himself and his loved ones into the middle of a horrific plot to raise one of Hell's fiercest demons.

The weekly adventures of high-priced private investigator Frank Cannon, an overweight, balding ex-cop with a deep voice and expensive culinary tastes, come home when 'CANNON: SEASON ONE, VOLUME ONE' barrels its way onto DVD July 8 from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment.

Nominated for two Emmy® Awards and two Golden Globes® for his performance over the series’ five-season run, William Conrad (“Jake and the Fatman”) stars as the titular Frank Cannon, a larger-than-life crime-fighting personality with a taste for truth, justice and a five-star meal. Since Cannon's girth didn't allow for many intense fist fights and violent gun battles, the series substituted adrenaline-fueled, high-speed car chases in their place.

The Cannon character also frequently crossed over to appear on “Barnaby Jones,” another Quinn Martin Production, the producer of a string of hit television series including “Cannon” “The Fugitive,” “The Invaders,” “The Streets of San Francisco” and “Barnaby Jones.”

Featuring 12 exciting episodes including episodic promos on four DVDs, 'CANNON: SEASON ONE, VOLUME ONE' will be available for the $39.99 SRP.

So, if you would like to win one of these new DVDs then just answer this easy question: Conrad appeared as Frank Cannon, his character on Cannon, in two episodes of Barnaby Jones. One was the pilot, but what was the episode title of the other one?!
