What's New At G-POP.net:
The Resident - Melissa Minners offers up her First Impressions of the new FOX medical drama..
Excerpt: "I’d been seeing promos on FOX network for a new dramatic television series taking place in a hospital. The Resident seemed to be an intensely dramatic hospital series with an idealistic doctor fighting against the powers that be who would rather save lives than spend money. There are many television series like that out there, so what makes The Resident different? Only one way to find out – watch it..."
Tale of a Lake - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a documentary about Finland's lakes and rivers.
Excerpt: "...The first words that came to mind when I began listening to Tale of a Lake were incredibly beautiful. Johanna Kurkela’s vocals are mesmerizing and evoke a sense of otherworldliness. The orchestral score created by Panu Aaltio was just as beautiful and I could imagine the breathtaking scenes the music would accompany..."
The Wake Up - Melissa Minners reviews the latest novel from Catherine Ryan Hyde.
Excerpt: "After reading Say Goodbye for Now, I was taken by Catherine Ryan Hyde’s writing and couldn’t wait to read more of her books. So, when the author reported that her latest novel, The Wake Up, would be available on Netgalley.com, I rushed over to download a copy. With my busy schedule, it took me some time to get to read it, but once I started, I couldn’t put it down..."
Legion: Volume 2 - Melissa Minners reviews a second album of music from the first season of Legion.
Excerpt: "...There are a total of ten tracks on this album. Jeff Russo appeared to have a great deal of fun with the Fauxlero track, a Legion take on Maurice Ravel’s Bolero: “Fauxlero was so much fun to put together and when was the last time you heard a harpsichord cue?” My favorite track is actually Harpsichord with Undercurrent, which is exactly that: a beautifully played harpsichord track that ends in an electronic, acid-dripping, ominous undertone..."
The Wolf of Wall Street - Melissa Minners reviews the film based on Jordan Belfort's memoir starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Excerpt: "I really never had an urge to see this film, but we had been flipping through TV channels and saw The Wolf of Wall Street was on one of the movie channels. My friend mentioned she had seen this movie and it wasn’t half bad. Nothing else was on, so I figured, “What the hell.”..."
The Family Fang - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the comedy starring Nicole Kidman and Jason Bateman.
Excerpt: "...Before reading up on The Family Fang’s plot, I could tell this was a comedy. After listening to a number of Carter Burwell’s film scores, I recognized that quirky sound that tells me this is a comedy. Piano (celesta) and guitar led, sometimes accompanied by strings or woodwinds as background, and bell sounds lending to that childlike attitude, the music can be somber at times. But for the most part, it’s quirky comedy in an upbeat style..."
