What's New At G-POP.net:
The Drift - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the science fiction horror film and its sequel.
Excerpt: "...So, let me give you some funny background facts before I tell you what I thought about The Drift / Darkwave: Edge of the Storm combined soundtrack. I thought I had just cued up Adrift, a movie about a couple stranded in a raft in the middle of the ocean, struggling to survive. Imagine my confusion when I began to hear the sci-fi sound of swirling violins, heroic brass fanfares, fast-paced percussion and an awe-inspiring choir..."
Disney's Zombies - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the Disney Channel original movie.
Excerpt: "The Disney's Zombies Soundtrack starts off with the upbeat My Year, in which the cast, led by Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim look with optimism toward the new school year. Right after that is another hot, upbeat track performed by the cast called Fired Up. I dare you to try to listen to this song without tapping the beat, moving or dancing..."
What Still Remains - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the post-zombie apocalypse dramatic film.
Excerpt: "...The musical score of What Still Remains is a mix of orchestral and electronic sound with music that doesn’t exactly represent the horror genre as we now know it. Sure, there are some screeching violins here and there, disjointed sounds and blasts of fast-paced music, but for the most part, the What Still Remains Soundtrack plays like the score of a dramatic film..."
Manga Classics: The Stories of Edgar Allan Poe - Melissa Minners reviews a collection of Edgar Allan Poe tales in manga format.
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..."
The Many Incarnations of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Dorothy Doremus discusses the numerous versions of the timeless Washington Irving classic.
Excerpt: "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow offers the ultimate in Halloween spooky tales. It was a story that originated from author Washington Irving in 1819 New York. The story centers around a love triangle between Schoolmaster Ichabod Crane, Brom Bones and Katrina Van Tassel and ends in the demise of Ichabod at the hands of the Headless Horseman, the ghost of a Hessian soldier who searches nightly for the head he lost in battle during the Revolutionary War..."
Mama - Melissa Minners reviews the horror film starring Nicolaj Coster-Waldau and Jessica Chastain.
Excerpt: "I first saw the promos for the horror film Mama last summer and couldn't wait for it to come out in October 2012, just in time for Halloween. But Halloween came and went and Mama didn't. I soon discovered that the release was delayed until January 2013. That didn't sit well with me as I wondered about the delay. Could this mean that the movie wasn't as good as I thought it would be? Well, I decided I'd wait for this one to come out on video before checking it out, just in case. I should have gone with my first instincts..."
