What's New At G-POP.net:
Star Trek: Discovery: Chapter 2 - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the Star Trek prequel series created for CBS All Access.
Excerpt: "...I haven’t been much of a Star Trek fan since the original television series – most of the sequels and movie spinoffs just didn’t grab me like the original series did. But as I listened to the score by Jeff Russo for Star Trek: Discovery: Chapter 2, I found myself wondering about this prequel series. The music features that dramatic take on space exploration and discovery with the presence of strings and brass fanfare, but the soundtrack is so much more..."
The Christmas Chronicles - Melissa Minners reviews the latest holiday movie made for Netflix starring Kurt Russell as Santa Claus.
Excerpt: "Years ago, I heard about a young man in London who wrote a book about how a street cat helped save his life. James Bowen was a drug-addicted musician who couldn’t get straight until he met a street cat who needed him more than James needed drugs. He credits Bob with giving him the strength to get sober...I saw the movie, but I was really interested in reading the book that inspired it and just got around to doing so this past week..."
The Tale - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the dramatic film starring Laura Dern.
Excerpt: "...The musical score of The Tale is minimalistic, featuring guitars, strings, piano and bells. The music varies between innocence and anguish as Jennifer looks back on the memories of her early teenage years. Electronic sound manipulation aids in blurring the edges a bit, distorting the sound just as a memory will sometimes be distorted..."
A Christmas Carol - BOP Style: Part 3 - Melissa Minners presents us with a Birds of Prey version of the timeless classic.
Excerpt: "Disclaimer and Other Information: It should be noted that all of the characters and many of the locales in this fan fiction are not mine. They are owned by The WB. This fan fiction is somewhat of an homage to the series, though I have used a little liberty here with events. At the time, I hadn't noticed a BOP fanfic with A Christmas Carol or It's a Wonderful Life twist and thought it might be a fun distraction from my writer's block. Enjoy!...."
A Charlie Brown Christmas CD/DVD - One of Melissa Minners' animated favorites at Christmas time.
Excerpt: "Last year, I was in Starbucksand noticed this Collector’s CD of A Charlie Brown’s Christmas featuring a bonus DVD. I passed it up that year. But this year, after the ABC network destroyed the Peanuts cartoon holiday special I’ve been watching since I was a little girl by cutting out some of the most important scenes, I decided to pick up the CD/DVD set so I could at least own the original special in its entirety and never rely on a television network showing the proper version of A Charlie Brown Christmas ever again..."
Scrooge - The classic musical version of A Christmas Carol.
Excerpt: "When I was a kid, I walked in on my Dad watching the ending of a Christmas musicalthat looked like a lot of fun. My Dad told me that this musical – Scrooge, starring Albert Finney – was one of his favorite versions of A Christmas Carol. After watching the full version of the movie, I could definitely understand. Since that day, Scrooge has become my favorite as well and a musical that has become a must see for me every year..."
