| The following is a cue rundown of James Horner's KRULL. It is a very delightful fantasy score. I know there are Horner bashers out there, but perhaps they would temporarily suspend the critical/judgmental rational mind, not look for any borrowings, and simply listen to early Horner. I enjoy the score immensely with the fantasy story on the screen. The score is in Box 113 at Sony/Tristar.
