What's New At G-POP.net:
Manga Classics: The Stories of Edgar Allan Poe - Melissa Minners reviews a collection of Edgar Allan Poe tales, manga style..
Excerpt: "I’ve always enjoyed the macabre tales written by Edgar Allan Poe. Years ago, I wrote a review of The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Tales, a compilation of stories by Edgar Allen Poe. I enjoyed the book as I expected I would, picturing the events Poe wrote about it my mind’s eye. When Manga Classics announced it would be tackling The Stories of Edgar Allen Poe, I couldn’t wait to see these tales brought to life, manga style..."
Brigsby Bear - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a dramedy about a man whose obsession with a fake tv series saves his life.
Excerpt: "...At the end of James' Life, we hear a cacophony of sound, confusing and fast-paced…off-key a bit. This reflects James’ emotional state as the police come and arrest the only parents he has ever known and the truth about his life is revealed to him. As James learns the truth about Brigsby and has difficulty adjusting to the real world, the music becomes quite melancholy, but things pick up as he hatches his theme to bring back the happy times by creating a Brigsby Bear movie..."
The Games of Our Youth: UNO - Melissa Minners discusses a card game we all know and love.
Excerpt: "I was a kid when the card game known as UNO hit the stores and became all the rage. We played it everywhere – at home, at school, in the park, at parties. As an adult, I still love the game. The game has undergone many incarnations since I first started playing, but the classic UNO card game will always be my favorite..."
Journey to Mecca - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a documentary of Ibn Battuta's journey from Tangier to Mecca in the 14th Century.
Excerpt: "...The Journey to Mecca Soundtrack features a beautiful Middle-Eastern inspired score. You can almost picture the perilous journey of Ibn Battuta as he makes his way from Tangier to Mecca. An excellent score by Michael Brook, well-suited to aide in telling the story."
All the MOney in the World - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the film based on the true story of the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III and the fight to get him back.
Excerpt: "...This album contains a number of genres and styles – there is never a dull moment for the listener. One minute there is rich, beautiful classical music, then the score becomes dark and downright creepy. But then we move toward a church hymn style that speaks of serenity and beauty..."
The Commuter - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the action thriller starring Liam Neeson.
Excerpt: "...There is a notable theme for Michael’s character that first appears in A Commuter's Trip. This would be the piano-based theme that offers up the softer side of Michael, that side that is winding down on what he believes will be his average everyday commute home. Michael’s action theme features fast-paced strings, brass and percussion..."
