What's New At G-POP.net:
Happy Death Day - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the new horror thriller starring Jessica Routhe.
Excerpt: "...The Happy Death Day Soundtrack is a mix of orchestral and electronic sound. Day One features long drags up and down strings, accompanied by keys that offer up an uncomfortable feel at first. We then move into a synth, electric guitar duo that eventually is accompanied by percussion and strings. This piece of scoring is somewhat upbeat – as if Tree is experiencing normal events in her day. However, the score eventually turns into something darker, more sinister, with strange background sounds..."
From the Desk of Natasia: Why I Hate Halloween - A Halloween tradition: Natasia Minners rants about the holiday she hates more than any other.
Excerpt: "I don’t understand the big deal about Halloween. Sure, I like watching the leaves rustle around in the wind and there seem to be a whole lot of them at that time of the month. I love chasing them around…well, I pretend to chase them around, running back and forth in front of the window. But it seems like there is a whole lot of human activity on that last day of October and I find it to be quite annoying..."
Reflecting on Halloween - A Halloween tradition: Melissa Minners looks back on past Halloweens.
Excerpt: "Ah, Halloween, the eve of All Hallows’ Day (aka: All Saints’ Day), a day of religious festivities celebrated by many as the one day of the year on which spirits can make contact with the physical world. As kids, all we knew was that on October 31st, we got to dress up in costumes after school and go from house to house, saying “Trick or Treat!” and walking home laden with goodies. If we were lucky, Halloween fell out on the weekend – twice the time to go Trick-or-Treating meant twice as many treats. As Halloween roles around again this year, I begin to reminisce on Halloweens past..."
I Am Wrath - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the action thriller starring John Travolta.
Excerpt: "...The pianos and strings present the softer, gentler tone of Stanley Hill as the loving husband and father. Edgy rock music featuring electric guitar riffs and percussion cranks the adrenaline up high for moments in which Hill shows off his skill as a brutal assassin. Synths provide ominous sounds for darker moments and high pitched strings preclude those action moments and reveals..."
Killers of the Flower Moon - Jessica Behrens reviews the murders of the Osage tribe that sparked the birth of the FBI.
Excerpt: "Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI is a riveting – and horrifying – account of the systematic murders of members of the Osage Indian nation in the 1920’s and the creation of the FBI. This true crime story recounts what began as the mysterious murders of tribe members, which were soon discovered to be part of a much larger – and diabolical plot – to murder the Osage for access to their oil headrights..."
Eye in the Sky - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the dramatic film starring Helen Miren.
Excerpt: "...The score of Eye in the Sky is somber, bordering on ominous. Snare drum flares clue you in on the military aspect of the film. Exotic strings and woodwinds, Mark Kilian’s specialty, offer a nod toward the locale of the targets’ location. The somber moments in the score speak to the seriousness of the mission, while the electronic sound used in repetitive style offer up a heightened sense of danger and a heightened sense of stress amongst all involved in the decision of fire or don’t fire..."
