People say good-looking actors and actresses are the heart and soul of movies. But it's not quite correct. Movie stars are not the only ones to win the love and acclaim of movie fans. The music played in the movie is also another undeniable factor that captures the hearts of movie-lovers.
Perhaps most people have at least one movie soundtrack in their CD collection. A movie without music is like a flower without its scent.

So far, 2009 looks better. The success of "A Frozen Flower" and "Scandal Makers" ("Speedy Scandal") opened up a promising new year. Although February and March...| More | ||||||||||||||
