Movie Spin

I consider myself a movie and music buff; therefore, it made complete sense to me to create a movie themed playlist. So in honor of the Oscars, I created a playlist featuring music from movies nominated for the 2010 Oscars. Not to leave out the movies nominated for the Razzies, I included those too :)  The following songs are from movies past and present. Enjoy!


Uprising - Muse - warm-up, from the movie Knight and Day
I'm A Believer - Weezer - fast seated flat; from the movie Shrek, Forever After
Spotlight (Twilight Mix) - Mutemath - sprints at chorus; from the movie Twilight
Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones - fast seated flat; This song gets played a lot in the movies, but most recently Date Night.
Ready, Steady, Go - Paul Oakenfold - sprints; from the movie The Bourne Identity
Heavy in Your Arms - Florence + The Machine - heavy climb; from the movie Eclipse
Cobrastyle Featuring Mad Cobra - Teddybears - fast flat; Most recently from the movies Date Night and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I love, love spinning to this song.
Supermassive Blackhole - Muse - climb, then hover continuing the climb at the chorus. From the movie Twilight -- vampire baseball anyone??
Time - Hans Zimmer - Heavy climb that starts building at 1:01 every 30 seconds. Once the build starts every 30 seconds more instrumentation and energy gets added in. it peaks at 3:01 for the last 30 seconds before returning to the intro rhythm. From the movie Inception. Can someone please explain this movie to me? Also, this soundtrack is $5 for the month of March.
In the Hall of the Mountain King - Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - catch your breath at the beginning because we are going to pick up the pace. Okay, so I loved NIN when I was in college and I still can't believe that Trent Reznor won an Oscar for his score for the The Social Network. He's all 'growed' up, sniff, sniff.
Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap - This is our finale. Rolling hills. At the chorus we will take off the resistance and fly down those hills. This song was featured in the indie movie [500] Days of Summer.
Cool Down:
Hand Covers Bruise - Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - from The Social Network, I might add that I've watched this movie twice. Very good movie.
Everything to Lose - Dido - from movie Sex and the City 2

Okay, so I know I included a lot of tunes from the Twilight movies -- sorry dudes -- but the movie soundtracks are too good not to be played. Look forward to the soundtracks more so than the movies!
