Album Review

Composer Michael Giacchino (The Incredibles, Lost, Alias) has crafted a light, sentimental, and wholly appropriate score for director Thomas Bezucha's holiday dramedy, The Family Stone. Utilizing traditional orchestral arrangements, he approaches the season tastefully, allowing the two yuletide standards, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Cossack Dancers" from the Nutcracker Suite, to be the sole representatives for that most wonderful — yet relentlessly trumpeted though tinsel-strewn shopping-mall speakers — time of the year.

And, above all the same composer for the score to ST XI !!!
