What's New At G-POP.net:
Stranger Things: Season 2 - Melissa Minners reviews the second season of the Netflix hit series.
Excerpt: "I know that the ending of the first season of Stranger Things was left open for a second season follow-up, but I just couldn’t see how that second season was going to take place. The big bad had been taken down and Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) had been rescued from the Upside Down. Our heroes were safe for the most part, though Will did cough up something rather gross, and something shady is going on with Chief Hopper (David Harbour). That being said, I was worried that the second season of Stranger Things might be a huge letdown and put off watching it…that is, until everyone kept reassuring me of how good it was..."
Epic Themes II - Melissa Minners reviews a compilation of epic themes from movies, videos and more.
Excerpt: "...In January 2018, Silva Screen Records released a follow-up album entitled Epic Themes II. This new album features sixteen tracks collecting epic themes from film, games composed by artists like Junkie XL, Daft Punk, Hans Zimmer and Steve Jablonsky, and three specially commissioned works from composers Evan Jolly and Rick Clark..."
As You Wish - Jessica Behrens reviews The Princess Bride memoir by Cary Elwes.
Excerpt: "I was in a reading slump. I kept starting new books without finishing any of them. And then I stumbled upon As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride, by Cary Elwes. I couldn’t put the book down and devoured it in two nights. If you enjoyed the movie, then you will adore this book..."
American Assassin - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of an action thriller based on a series of novels.
Excerpt: "...The American Assassin Soundtrack features a mix of orchestral music, percussion, electric guitar, synths and altered sounds. The music rises in crescendo and becomes faster paced, with focuses on strings, guitar and percussion during high intensity action scenes. The rest of the score is dramatic, depending on the emotions of the characters and the intrigue as patterns are revealed and the truth is learned..."
Guts - Melissa Minners reviews a book that dissects The Walking Dead, both the series and comics, by Paul Vigna.
Excerpt: "...This past Christmas, it should come as a surprise to no one that I received quite a few books as gifts. One such gift was quite the surprise to me. I had never heard of Guts: The Anatomy of The Walking Dead by Paul Vigna, but I was intrigued. After all, I am a huge fan of the television show and the comic books, so I was curious what I would find in this book..."
Before the Flood - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a documentary about global warming.
Excerpt: "...The music found on the Before the Flood Soundtrack is often haunting in nature. The song, A Minute to Breathe by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, is especially haunting, its lyrics perfectly describing the damage we have done to our world and all that we will lose because of it..."
Bonus Article:
Stranger Things: Season 2 Soundtrack - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the second season of the Netflix hit series.
Excerpt: "...According to the composers, “In Season 2 we’re introducing new styles of composition, while still revisiting old themes when appropriate. We’ve created new elements to support the story, but still want to remain true to the sound of Season 1.” Thus, the score still has that synth flare found in horror and sci-fi films of the decade..."
