Also in Ultraviolet. Which, not a movie, but the creepiest child vampire by far, imho.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Just watched the opening title sequence for Catch Me if You Can--
Definitely lives up to the hype-- it's as stylistically pretty as the opening credits for Down With Love.
And the music? Usually, I can spot a John Williams within eight measures (Not that this is bad-- I can do the same with Elfman), but he really stretched himself on this one and captured that minimalistic jazz noir feel.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
John Williams was a jazz pianist before he started writing film scores.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Man, I have not seen any of those vampire works. I am vampire movie-deficient. Well, I've seen Blade, but I don't remember a kid vampire.
Oh, and you mean Ultraviolet the series! Which I will be watching soon enough. I'm glad it has a creepy child vampire.

Yeah, but I've not really known him to incorporate the background quite to this extent. It didn't have that blatant "I am a John Williams score" feel to it at all.

Did you ever hear the "1941" soundtrack? That one is a lot of fun.

Heh-- I played the march, in both symphonic and marching band. It is one of the best marches ever. And the overture to The Cowboys is also fabulous. (As a French horn player, I loved playing anything Williams—he's always good to the hornies)
ETA: after a lifetime of Sousa marches... god, I love Williams' marches.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I played the French Horn too! and Sousa marches were an endless string of offbeats, IIRC.

Another non-Williams-esque Williams score? Empire of the Sun.

Jeez, it's been forever since I heard that one-- I was just listening through a greatest hits CD that I have and Sugarland Express, the main theme, at any rate, also struck me as being very different.
