C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation
Episode: "Revenge Is Best Served Cold"
Episode Director: Danny Cannon

The season opener of C.S.I. (Thursday Sept. 26th) will include the Wild Colonials song "Victim".

Here is the episode description from www.TVGuide.com...

The top-rated drama gets off to a speedy start in its third-season opener, in which the teams investigate the murder of a street racer and the untimely death of a legendary poker player.

Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) and Nick (George Eads) become absorbed in the dangerous world of street racing after one of the illegal sport's hotshot drivers is found dead out in the desert at an abandoned airstrip. Back in town, Grissom (William Petersen) and his crew probe the sudden death of a renowned poker player (Madison Mason) who suffered a violent convulsion in the middle of a high-stakes game with three others. It looks like natural causes, at first, but Grissom suspects foul play.

From All Movie Guide...
Detective Ed Delongpre (Dennis Hopper) is challenged by the mayor of Burman City to make an arrest of a child killer within 48 hours. With no clues to work with, Delongpre and his longtime partner McGivern (Frederic Forrest) and their team of investigators stake out just about every place in town where kids are at play. Meanwhile, and unbeknownst to the cops, the mayor has also made a deal with a notorious mobster to also find the killer, pitting the good guys against the bad guys to stop a sicko. Also meanwhile, Delongpre's relationship with his estranged adult daughter Leslie (Leslie Hope) is torn open after a decade -- Leslie is the mayor's pushy assistant. ~ Buzz McClain,

We asked Shark for some comments on scoring the film...

"The scoring of this film had gone extremely well at the beginning and then I had the unfortunate luck of a computer crash and losing three days of intense work! Then another four days were spent trying to recover what was lost. The modern world, huh?!? It was the equivalent of having a fire burn the studio down to the ground. For anyone familiar with the schedules of films, losing a full week is like losing a month! I was up for days and days staying at the studio and sleeping on the floor to try and catch up.

There are a couple of chase scene cues that are not mine, I had sent some rough ideas for the chase scenes and did not have the time finish them so the producers had someone else "make the cops run faster".

I think Dennis Hoppers acting is actually very good, especially his scenes with his daughter, played by Leslie Hope. Dennis plays a good cop for a change. I'm very proud of a lot of the themes in the film and the stuff I'm not so proud of isn't mine.
Enjoy."
