What's New At G-POP.net:
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - Melissa Minners reviews a Harry Potter prequel film.
Excerpt: "I debated whether or not I wanted to see this film when it came out. I knew that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was based on the book by J.K. Rowling and a part of the Harry Potter franchise, I just wasn’t sure where this film fit in. It looked interesting in that fantastic world of Rowling’s wizardry, but I just wasn’t sure. I elected to wait until it was available On Demand. This way, if the movie wasn’t as good as the Harry Potter films, I wouldn’t lose as much money as I would in the theater..."
Touched With Fire - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the dramatic film starring Katie Holmes and Luke Kirby.
Excerpt: "...The musical score of Touched With Fire was created by Paul Dalio, the writer and director of this film. His grandfather was a jazz musician and Paul Dalio was fascinated with the art of making music, learning to play piano and eventually create melodies through experimentation. Realizing he was creating music from emotion, he realized he could do the same for this film and began composing the movie’s score..."
Dark Screams: Volume Seven - Melissa Minners reviews the seventh edition of the horror anthology series.
Excerpt: "When I noticed Dark Screams Volume Seven at Netgalley, I was ecstatic. I have enjoyed other Dark Screams anthologies in the past and it had been quite some time since I had read anything horror-related. I decided I had to check it out! After all, as any horror fan would agree, October isn’t the only time to read horror stories, right?..."
War for the Planet of the Apes - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the third film in the Planet of the Apes reboot series.
Excerpt: "...The War for the Planet of the Apes has a tribal feel with percussion and chanting. Random drawn out flute notes are a nice throwback to the old Planet of the Apes films (if you are old enough to remember those soundtracks, as I am). Choral and louder music signify the dramatic moments of battle..."
The Comic Book Conundrum - Revisiting a comic collector rant by Melissa Minners.
Excerpt: "When I was a kid, comic book collecting was a fun and engaging pastime. I loved to read about my favorite superheroes from month to month. Even if I missed a month, I could always figure out what was going on by reading the following month’s issue...Now, however, comic book collecting has taken on entirely new proportions..."
The Rise of the Synths EP1 - Melissa Minners reviews a companion EP to the documentary about the Synthwave movement.
Excerpt: "...The Rise of the Synths EP1 is the first of two official companion EPs released by Lakeshore Records, featuring seven tracks of music by some of the Synthwave scene’s most popular artists..."
