What's New At G-POP.net:
The Sinner - Melissa Minners reviews the popular anthology crime drama.
Excerpt: "...I found it quite interesting that Ronit Kirchman chose synths and electronic sound for the score of The Sinner. At first, I wasn’t sure how that worked with the story, but as I thought about it, I could reconcile that a show starring a woman has no clear view of why she would brutally murder someone and not know why or even have a recollection of the event might warrant such a sound..."
Disobedience - Melissa Minners reviews an independent film based on a novel by Naomi Alderman starring Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz.
Excerpt: "I was perusing the news one day when I caught a quick synopsis of an upcoming film called Disobedience. Based on a novel by Naomi Alderman, the story takes place in an Orthodox Jewish community in North London and is about a forbidden love. Starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams, this film promised to be extremely dramatic. I couldn’t wait to check it out..."
No Man's Sky - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack accompaniment to the popular space exploration video game.
Excerpt: "...As expected, No Man’s Sky: Music for an Infinite Universe features electronic sound mixed with electric guitar, synths and percussion. Softer moments during the music feature piano, which actually serves to add some dramatic flare to the music. The synth sound is perfect to express the wonders of space exploration..."
Mayflower - Dorothy Doremus reviews a book telling the true story of the Mayflower.
Excerpt: "Ah, the tale of the first Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims, after the long journey from England, set foot on Plymouth Rockwhere they meet Squantowho befriended them. After which, they all sit and have a feast of turkeywith all of the trimmings and give thanks. If this is your idea of how the first Thanksgiving was, you will be extremely disappointed..."
The Mouse on the Mayflower - Melissa Minners reviews the animated tale of the Mayflower's journey to the New World.
Excerpt: "It always amazes me when I find a holiday cartoon specialthat I don't remember seeing as a kid, especially one that is by a production company whose holiday specials I loved as a child. Rankin/Bass Productionswas one of those companies you could count on to deliver when it came to animated holiday specials. So it shocked and amazed me that I had never seen The Mouse on the Mayflower, a Thanksgiving cartoon specialfrom the masters of holiday specials..."
The Thanksgiving Treasure - Dorothy Doremus Turns Back the Clock to review a book in the Addie Mills series that takes place on Thanksgiving.
Excerpt: "One of my favorite things about any holidayis the memories and the traditions. Everyone can reminisce about a favorite food, music or a story. One of my favorite stories is called The Thanksgiving Treasure. It was my fourth grade teacher, Mr. Fitzgerald, who had us read it as an in-class assignment. However, I still find myself going back and re-reading the tale of Addie Mills many years later..."
