AFTER FOUR YEARS, NCIS MAKES IT TO THE TOP CBS’s NCIS, always a strong if unheralded performer for the network, managed to make it to the top of the Nielsen ratings list for the first time in its four-season run last week. Analysts pointed out, however,that it had little competition, given the fact that most of the usual big ratings winners were either being preempted, rerun, or on hiatus.

Music is a universal language we all speak and understand. There is a special ominous aura, a purloined emotion, that transfixes our ears on the intangible made tangible. What words cannot capture in mood, tone, and feeling, music can. It is hard to imagine movies without music knowing how transformational a song or composition can be. No Country for Old Men, adapted from Cormac McCarthy, and directed by the Coen Brothers, envelops us in the world of a runaway, emotionless killer; the lack of a musical score builds on Javier Bardem’s cold detachment as Anton Chigurh....
