What's New At G-POP.net:
Star Wars: Volume 1: Skywalker Strikes - Melissa Minners reviews a trade paperback combining the first comics of the newly revamped Marvel Star Wars comic book series.
Excerpt: "When I was a kid, I collected Star Wars comic books by Marvel, beginning with the six-issue comic book adaptation of A New Hope and several comic books in the series afterwards. Of course, I was just a kid and I didn’t have the money to collect the whole series, but I did collect enough adventures to keep me amused for months until the next movie arrived. Then I bought the adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back…and more. Eventually, I came back to Star Wars comics when they reappeared, published by Dark Horse Comics. Now, they’re back at Marvel. Feeling nostalgic for the early days of Star Wars comics, I decided to check some out..."
Wonderstruck - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the movie based on the novel about two young children traveling similar journeys in different time periods.
Excerpt: "...The Wonderstruck Soundtrack features orchestral music with piano and acoustic guitar. Parts of the film featuring Rose tended toward very little dialogue, so a great deal of music and sound effects, such as the triangle, xylophone, bells, wooden blocks, etc., were used..."
Tommy Boy - Melissa Minners Turns Back the Clock to review a classic comedy starring Chris Farley and David Spade.
Excerpt: "The other day, I was flipping through channels and I found a classic comedy starring Chris Farley and David Spade called Tommy Boy. I love this movie so much that, even though the channel showing the film was cutting out all of the curse words and lude gestures and I was showing up to the movie halfway through, I had to watch it yet again. I couldn’t help myself and I laughed my head off as if it was the first time watching..."
A Bad Moms Christmas - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the Christmas sequel to the popular comedy Bad Moms.
Excerpt: "...The songs on the album are a mix of Christmas fare and R&B, pop and dance tracks. The Christmas songs are newer versions of old favorites like 12 Days of Christmas by Colby Caillate, featuring Aloe Blacc; Jingle Bells by Gwen Stefani; What Christmas Means to Me by Jacob Luttrell; Merry Christmas Baby by Jason Eskridge and Run Run Rudolph by Kelly Clarkson. The rest of the songs on the album are the real steal with great tracks..."

Excerpt: "Below is a list of some of my favorite movies, books, and music for the holiday season. Click on the titles to purchase any of these items (except I'll Be Home For Christmas as the version I talk about is currently unavailable on DVD or VHS). Enjoy!...
Thank You for Your Service - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a dramatic film about PTSD.
Excerpt: "... The musical score for Thank You for Your Service is incredibly somber, as well it should be. PTSD is a very serious disorder plaguing our veteran soldiers. The score is orchestral with some electronic sound and sound manipulation. Flashbacks and nightmares feature reverberation and an echo effect, as well as sound distortion..."
