What's New At G-POP.net:
Game of Thrones: The Complete Fourth Season - Melissa Minners reviews the fourth season of the popular HBO series based on novels by George R.R. Martin.
Excerpt: "With four Game of Thrones novels under my belt, I felt I was ready to tackle the fourth season of the television series without too many surprises. Boy, was I wrong! That being said, the visuals of the scenes in the fourth season that I had previously only imagined in my mind’s eye while reading the books, way surpassed my own very detail-oriented imagination..."
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a re-imagination of the Jumanji series.
Excerpt: "...The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle score is full orchestral, featuring brass, woodwinds, strings and percussion. Lighter and quieter moments in the score mostly take place outside the game, with the exception of First Kiss. Jungle scenes feature some adrenaline pumping percussion on heavy bass drums and, sometimes, conga drums..."
First They Killed My Father - Melissa Minners reviews the movie adaptation of the memoir by Loung Ung.
Excerpt: "A few years ago, I read a memoir by Loung Ung called First They Killed My Father, looking back on her experiences in the Killing Fields of Cambodia when she was just a child. The book was riveting and I was taken in by the emotional experience of being uprooted from her home, completely ignorant to the politics of what was going on or just how much danger she was really in and losing the people she loved most in the world during her most formidable years. When I learned that Angelina Jolie would be directing a film based on Loung Ung’s memoir, I couldn’t wait to see it..."
MrsHendersonPresents - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a musical based on the true story of London's Windmill Theatre.
Excerpt: "Based on the 2005 biographical film starring Dame Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins, Mrs Henderson Presents is a musical that premiered in the Theatre Royal Bath in 2015 to rave reviews. It made its way to the West End’s Noel Coward Theatre in 2016. In March of 2016, Sony Masterworks released the Original London Cast Album of Mrs. Henderson Presents..."
Manga Classics: The Jungle Book - Melissa Minners reviews Manga Classics interpretation of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book.
Excerpt: "Believe it or not, I never did have an opportunity to read The Jungle Book as a child. I have vague memories of scenes from Disney’s adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling book, but I never did get around to reading the classic. I’ve been preaching that Manga Classics’ adaptations of classic novels is a great way to introduce younger generations to older classics, so why not take my advice and check out Manga Classics: The Jungle Book..."
City of Ghosts - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the documentary about a group of citizen journalists fighting to wrest their homeland from ISIS..
Excerpt: "...The City of Ghosts Soundtrack features an orchestral score blended with electric and electronic sound. The first track, City of Ghosts, is disturbing. I believe the double bass is used in this track, creating an incredibly dark and ominous undertone to the score at the onset..."
