What's New At G-POP.net:
The Hollars - Melissa Minners reviews a dramedy starring John Krasinski, Anna Kendrick and Richard Jenkins.
Excerpt: "Ever since listening to the folksy music found on The Hollars Soundtrack, I’ve been interested in checking out the movie about a dysfunctional family who comes together to stand by their ailing mother. I finally got that chance...."
XCOM2: War of the Chosen - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the expansion pack of the second game in the rebooted XCOM series.
Excerpt: "...The score of XCOM2: War of the Chosen is mostly heroic with electronic and orchestral music combining to tell the tale. It begins somewhat dark, offering up the impression of a disheartening loss and eventually lightening with the idea of hope for the future, a feeling of resolve toward something better. To say that I could get all of that from the first couple of tracks of this album is really something..."
Assassin's Creed: Forsaken - Melissa Minners reviews the fifth book in the Assassin's Creed novel series by Oliver Bowden
Excerpt: "I’m a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed novel series based on the video game by Ubisoft. Oliver Bowden is an amazing author who has perfectly captured the characters in the video game series and created credible backstories and adventures for each in kind. I have read four books in the Assassin’s Creed novel series and loved them all. I couldn’t wait to read the next in the series – Forsaken..."
Only the Brave - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a dramatic film about the Granite Mountain Hotshots.
Excerpt: "...Acoustic guitars and pianos are enlisted for scenes featuring emotional drama. Strings, keyboards and percussion, in addition to manipulated sound, are used to add drama to firefighting scenes. Percussion enhances the action in these scenes. The manipulation and arrangement of instruments help created the wooshing noises one often associates with fire. The music of Only the Brave is captivating..."
Reflecting on Thanksgiving Day - A holiday tradition, Melissa Minners' reflections on Thanksgiving Day.
Excerpt: "...As a child in school, Thanksgiving Day meant that it was time to break out the crayons, pencils, markers, and paint brushes and make outlines of our hands that we would cleverly turn in to turkeys by adding legs and faces. Who doesn’t remember one of these “hand-made” turkey drawings hanging on their mother’s refrigerators?..."
The Wizard of Lies - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the film about Bernie Madoff and the Ponzi scheme that sent him to prison.
Excerpt: "... The Wizard of Lies Soundtrack features a mix of electronic and orchestral music, with more of a focus on the less organic sound. The Wizard of Lies is such a sinister first track, if one had no idea what this movie was about, they might think it were a horror film. For some of Madoff’s victims, I would say that this tale did contain some horror. That first track perfectly describes that cold and calculating being that put this Ponzi scheme together..."
