Excerpt: "Sometimes you find yourself staring at repeats of the news and realize, “Why am I still watching this?” Sometimes that realization leads you to channel search. This time around, it led me to a movie I had never heard of before starring Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo called You Can Count on Me. I stopped channel-surfing long enough to become intrigued..."
John Williams: Themes and Transcriptions for Piano - Melissa Minners reviews a John Williams compilation album.
