What's New At G-POP.net:
Gladiators Unite for the Series Finale of Scandal - Melissa Minners reviews the finale event of the popular Shonda Rhimes television series.
Excerpt: "You may remember, way back in 2012, a wrote a First Impressions review of a new Shonda Rhimes drama airing on ABC called Scandal. A political thriller, the show starred Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope, crisis management specialist. You also may remember that I didn’t really like the show and had decided I wouldn’t be watching it. Well, I was over-ruled in the household and, though I tried to ignore the show while others watched it, I found myself drawn in over the years. And so, on Thursday, April 19, 2018, I found myself seated in front of the television watching the series finale of that show I had vowed not to watch, a converted Gladiator hoping for a really good ending to the show I had slowly grown to look forward to..."
Red Sparrow - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a spy thriller film starring Jennifer Lawrence.
Excerpt: "....The first track of Red Sparrow features an eleven-minute orchestral theme that is classical in nature and quite interesting. Somber in nature, the track offers up a sense of dark drama taking place, but it is rather a long experience and one gets the idea that this track does not appear in its entire length in the film. After that track, the feel is rather strange..."
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Melissa Minners reviews a film that tells the tale of how the Rebels got the plans to the original Death Star.
Excerpt: "When I first saw promos for Rogue One A Star Wars Story in the movie theater, I thought, “Whoa! This looks like a movie I really want to see!” Sure, it was another Death Star movie, but this movie takes place before the rebels got the plans to take out the first Death Star and the whole feel of the movie was different. And yet, I never did see the film in the theaters. I did, however, read the novelization of the film and the prequel book, Catalyst. Now, more than ever, I wanted to see this film and see it I did!..."
Furious - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a Russian historical fantasy film.
Excerpt: "...Furious is one of those soundtracks that are so powerful it can be felt as well as heard. Battle scenes contain heavy percussion and electric guitars. A choir is mixed in here and there for added drama and ethnic instruments performed in a mix of Celtic meets Eastern style denote the ethnicity and culture of both sides of the battle. Of course, there are lighter interludes, such as The Prince and Nastya, where orchestral instruments like woodwinds and strings prevail, but for the most part, this is an action-based score specifically driven to boost the adrenaline rush of the visuals..."
Lion - Melissa Minners reviews the movie based on the memoir by Saroo Brierly about his search to find his family twenty-five years after he lost them.
Excerpt: "Some time ago, I reviewed the soundtrack of a film starring Dev Patel called Lion. As I researched the film in preparation for writing the review, I found the premise extremely interesting. I liked Dev Patel in Slumdog Millionaire and was eager to see him in a new role. The research I did and the promos I watched made me want to see this film. Years later, I decided to check it out..."
The Cairo Declaration - Melissa Minners reviews a soundtrack about the historic meeting between China, Britain and the United States during WWII.
Excerpt: "...As I listened to The Cairo Declaration Soundtrack, I noted the beauty in the midst of the drama. I loved the Eastern influence to the music, defining the locale of the film and adding to the beauty of the score. I even enjoyed the darker moments of the soundtrack, which harbored a sense of excitement and drama
