What's New At G-POP.net:
Shock and Awe - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the dramatic film based on the true story of journalists who uncovered the truth behind the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq.
Excerpt: "...The Shock and Awe Soundtrack is orchestral, the first track, The Courtroom featuring that trumpet fanfare and percussion one would expect to find in a film about the military – patriotic and regimented. Strings bring a sense of sadness, a reminder of the trust lost when the truth is discovered..."
The Closer: Season 6 - Melissa Minners reviews the sixth season of The Closer on DVD.
Excerpt: "I really miss The Closer, a crime drama that aired on TNT and later spawned the spinoff, Major Crimes. Luckily, any time I need my fix of Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick), I can just pop a DVD into the player and check in to the LAPD Major Crimes Division. This time around, I decided to binge watch The Closer: The Complete Season Six..."
American Folk - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the dramatic film about the healing power of music.
Excerpt: "The American Folk Soundtrack (original score) doesn’t feature the folk music I expected to hear. According to Ben Lovett, the songs performed by the artists in American Folk symbolized the characters speaking to each other. What he was going for was a score in which the film speaks to the audience. So, he strayed far from the folk sound of guitars, banjos and the like in favor of a rather eclectic sound that expressed the feelings of the characters and the locales to the audience..."
Roma - Melissa Minners reviews the Academy Award-nominated movie by Alfonso Cuaron.
Excerpt: "After watching a number of award shows this year, I noticed one film kept popping up – a foreign film called Roma. The movie was described as a semi-autobiographical film about writer and director Alfonso Cuarón’s upbringing in the Colonia Roma neighborhood of Mexico City. It had been a while since I watched a foreign film. I decided to find out what all the buzz was about..."
Cold Pursuit - Melissa Minners reviews the black comedy action film starring Liam Neeson.
Excerpt: "...If you just listened to this score without really knowing what the film was about, you’d be a tad confused. There appears to be a major disconnect between the themes, but once you find out what the film is about, you begin to understand why the score features such vastly different themes..."
Star Wars: Lost Stars - Melissa Minners reviews a Star Wars book that spans the major events of the Star Wars epic adventure through the eyes of two individuals with very opposite opinions.
Excerpt: "You never know what you might find perusing the bargain shelves in Barnes & Noble. On one particular adventure, I found a 550-plus hardcover book from the new Star Wars canon. Entitled Lost Stars it was touted to be a book in the Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I wasn’t sure I wanted to read it, but at that price, how could I pass it up?..."
