AMG Review

As the title states, John Ottman's Cruel Intentions and Selected Suites and Themes gathers career highlights from the film and television composer's body of work. Among the pieces here are unused portions of his score for the deliciously over the top teen adaptation of Les Liasons Dangereuses, Cruel Intentions. Apparently too suggestive even for that film's salacious tone, excerpts like "Juicy Conspiracy," "Enticing Deal," "Confessions," and "Sibling Encounters" make their debut on this collection. Themes from films and shows like the retooled Fantasy Island, Lake Placid, Apt Pupil, and Incognito complete this entertaining collection of music from Ottman's '90s works. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
