What's New At G-POP.net:
Smokey and the Bandit - Melissa Minners reviews a classic comedy starring Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason and Sally Field.
Excerpt: "As I sit typing reviews, I hear, “Oh my God! I haven’t seen this in years.” I turn to find Smokey and the Bandit on one of the movie channels. I respond that a co-worker is always quoting the movie and is amazed to discover that I have never seen it. This elicits a “You’ve never seen this film! Okay, we have to watch this, because you don’t know what you are missing!” I have always been fond of the Bandit’s Trans Am, but never had the desire to see the film. They were right – I didn’t know what I was missing..."
Superposition - Melissa Minners reviews the latest album from Nadjiwan.
Excerpt: "...Over the past two decades, Nadjiwan has released four studio albums. I first heard the music of Nadjiwan when I was working with another entertainment site and I’ve been hooked ever since, so I was delighted when I was sent Superposition, Nadjiwan’s fifth studio album and his first new record since Philosophy for the Masses. I couldn’t wait to take a listen..."
Our Computer Game Addictions - Melissa Minners and readers discuss their online gaming addictions.
Excerpt: "It started small…with some Bounce Out and Zuma…nothing I couldn’t handle. Just a couple of games where you had to match bouncy balls or rocks in a snaky Aztec maze. They actually used to help me conquer my migraines (as long as I had the sound off). Then I started playing Bejeweled...Seeing how addicted I have become to online video games, I decided to ask some of my readers about their online gaming addictions. Here’s what they had to say..."
The Emoji Movie - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a the animated adventure comedy starring some familiar faces from our phones.
Excerpt: "...The Emoji Movie features a mix of orchestral and electronic music. That’s only fitting, considering the digital technology the movie’s characters represent. Thus, we have a rather digitized theme for Gene and his friends. The music has that quirky animated comedy feel in the beginning, but, as the adventures mount and Gene, Hi-5 and Jailbreaker hop from app to app, the music takes on more of an action feel, with a fast pace and a sense of urgency..."
al-Cat-Raz - Revisiting Chloe's tale of her time in prison...AKA: the animal shelter, but don't tell her that.
Excerpt: "How did I get here? How did this happen? I was just a young cat-ten when I was transported by boat to the most feared shelter in the land, Al-Cat-Raz. Since when is a little catnip illegal? I was literally enjoying my grass when the next thing I knew, a catch pole string was being looped around my neck. Hey, guys! Take it easy! I'm only two pounds, you know..."
2:22 - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the science fiction thriller.
Excerpt: "...The musical score features a heavy synth and electronic sound, but there is more to it than that...There is a sense of growing darkness and a more ominous undertone announcing danger as the score moves forward..."
