What's New At G-POP.net:
Twin Warriors - Melissa Minners reviews a martial arts film starring Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh.
Excerpt: "I love a good Kungfu film, one with great fight choreography and a decent storyline. Twin Warriors is just that sort of film and happens to star two of my favorite martial arts film actors Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. How could I pass this one up?..."
A Wrinkle in Time - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the new film based on the Madeliene L'Engle novel.
Excerpt: "...The A Wrinkle in Time Soundtrack features songs from various artists such as Sade, DJ Khaled, Demi Lovato, Sia, Kehlani, Chloe x Halle and Freestyle Fellowship. The musical score of A Wrinkle in Time was created by Iranian-German composer Ramin Djawadi...More than half of the A Wrinkle in Time Soundtrack is amazing score from Ramin Djawadi, who used a 71-piece orchestra, 29-person choir and 24-member children’s choir to record the music. Djawadi has been known to use exotic instrumentation in his musical scores and A Wrinkle in Time is no exception, featuring the tabla, dulcimer, vocoder and taiko drums in addition to more traditional orchestral instruments..."
A Plague of Giants - Melissa Minners reviews a fantasy novel by Kevin Hearne.
Excerpt: "I enjoy a good fantasy novel every now and again and I like the description of A Plague of Giants, the latest book from The Iron Druid Chronicles author Kevin Hearne. I decided to see if this new novel, set in a world where giants roam amongst beastmasters and people who can control the very air and water around us, was worth the read..."
Black Panther - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the latest action film based on a Marvel Comics hero.
Excerpt: "...As soon as I began listening to the Black Panther Soundtrack, I began to smile. I knew I would like this score. When you listen to most superhero soundtracks, they contain a great deal of fanfare – brass plays a major role in most superhero scores. But immediately, you could sense the difference in this score. Instead of that expected superhero fanfare, the composer opted to focus on the roots and culture of the character and his homeland..."
The Games of Our Youth: Mattel Electronic Sports - Melissa Minners takes us back to our youth and the handheld electronic sports games that have made their way back into stores.
Excerpt: "When I was a kid, I loved video games, especially sports-based video games which gave the player an opportunity to play their favorite sport when you can’t go outside and play. Before we had a gaming system, we had to settle for the handheld versions for sporting entertainment. There were a number of companies that tried their hands at handheld sposrts-based video games, but in my family, we owned games by Mattel..."
Marvel's Runaways - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the Hulu series based on the Marvel comic book.
Excerpt: "...The music on the Marvel’s Runaways soundtrack is mainly indie, in keeping with the age group of the Runaways. Most of the music is fast-paced, supporting the action side of the series. Siddhartha Khosla’s Runaways Main Title is an awesome dance track, featuring synths and percussion..."
