What's New At G-POP.net:
Star Wars: Aftermath: Empire's End - Melissa Minners reviews the final novel in the Star Wars: Aftermath Trilogy.
Excerpt: "After completing the first two books in the Star Wars Aftermath Trilogy, I couldn’t wait to read the final book, Empire's End. The action and plot twists in the series thus far have been incredibly entertaining and I couldn’t wait to see how Chuck Wendig would end things..."
Darling - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a horror film involving a lonely young woman and a haunted Manhattan mansion.
Excerpt: "....And I have to say, there are definitely some tracks in this album that stood out. Like Dragging the Body in which you hear a child’s song playing in the background of some extremely ominous noise and the distinct sound of dripping water. Inferno starts off with a spooky heartbeat and then moves into electronica that you could imagine listening to at a club..."
Mudbound - Melissa Minners reviews the dramatic film based on a novel about two families' struggles in the Deep South during and after WWII.
Excerpt: "I had heard so much about the film, Mudbound, critical acclaim for its acting and its original song by Mary J. Blige, who also starred in the film. I wondered what all the hype was about. I had already heard the song, Mighty River, and agreed with critics that this was one Oscar-worthy song, but was the movie any good? I was about to find out..."
Tomb Raider - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the movie based on the newly re-imagined video game.
Excerpt: "...The score created by Junkie XL makes me wonder if he has ever played the video games upon which the film was based. I don’t know about the newer games, but the older ones featured quiet moments when you were entering a new level or in segments of the game where stealth was required and fast moving, adrenaline-pumping music when fight or action scenes were involved. This score reminds me of the music I listened to while playing the older Tomb Raider series of games..."
The Victims' Club - Melissa Minners reviews a short story by Jeffery Deaver.
Excerpt: "I love reading books by Jeffery Deaver and my shelves are filled with them, but I also love his short stories. So, when I was offered an opportunity to review his latest short story, The Victims’ Club, in ebook format, I jumped at the chance..."
Call Me By Your Name - Melissa Minners reviews a soundtrack about a surprising romantic encounter between a teenager and a graduate student in Italy.
Excerpt: "The music alternates between the classical and contemporary piano sounds of Elio and the club/dance sounds representing Oliver. Hallelujah Junction is a contemporary track for solo piano by John Adams that I think represents Elio and his feelings after meeting Oliver. I’m a sucker for a well-played piano and this is an incredibly well-played, upbeat track. There are a great many disco and dance songs about love of place, love of person, love endured, love lost...."
