What's New At G-POP.net:
Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol - Melissa Minners reviews the Mr. Magoo version of the classic Charles Dickens tale.
Excerpt: "When I was a kid, Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol was a staple of the holiday season. If you didn’t see it at least once a year, it just didn’t feel like Christmas. As I grew older, it seemed that Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol was forgotten by the media powers that be in preference to more modern holiday specials. But I never forgot the original favorite and when I saw it was available on DVD, I jumped on the opportunity to purchase it..."
Songs to Celebrate 25 Days of Christmas - Melissa Minners reviews a soundtrack compilation from ABC Family.
Excerpt: "This year, Disney's Family Channel will be running its 12th Annual 25 Days of Christmas. Running from December 1st through December 25th, the Family Channel runs Christmas programs including holiday animation specials, movies, premiere television events and more. Songs to Celebrate 25 Days of Christmas is an album released by Walt Disney Records featuring some of the most enjoyable songs from the various programs featured during this 25 day event..."
Deck the Halls With Catnip Presents! - Natasia Minners discusses what Christmas is like for the cat.
Excerpt: "Of all the crazy holidays my human celebrates, the one that I most enjoy has to be Christmas. You would have to be insane not to love this holiday - all of the wrinkly, crinkly paper, all of the flashing lights, all of the neat catnip presents! What’s not to like?!..."
I Still Believe in Santa Claus - A Christmas tradition: Melissa Minners discusses what Christmas means to her.
Excerpt: "...It would seem that the spirit of the holiday season is lost on many people. How often do we hear people rant about how they hate this time of the year, citing everything from traffic jams to undesirable relatives, to empty pockets? Well, I’m writing this article in an effort to spread some Christmascheer to all of the G-POP readers out there and to perhaps stir up some of that old Christmas spirit still lingering within us all..."
Ghosts of Mars Movie & Soundtrack - Melissa Minners reviews the sci-fi horror film and the soundtrack by John Carpenter.
Excerpt: "In the early 2000s I saw a science fiction action horror film that received mostly negative reviews from critics. I waited to see Ghosts of Mars on VHS (yes, I said VHS) and I found that, though it was a bit cheesy in some areas, I found the film to be somewhat badass and I would remember this film in latter years as an under-rated beginning to the career of action film star Jason Statham. Recently, I was offered an opportunity to review the Ghosts of Mars Soundtrack and listening to that music made me want to see the movie again. Thus, a combined movie and score review of Ghosts of Mars..."
The Essential Games Music Collection: Volume 2 - Melissa Minners reviews the 2nd volume of video game music from Silva Screen Records.
Excerpt: "I remember the days of 8 and 16-bit graphics video games provided with equally horrible music accompanying them. Things have drastically changed in the video gaming world, in both the quality of graphics and the quality of music accompanying the gameplay. Video games today feature scores that are of epic movie quality. In 2011, Silva Screen Records released The Essential Games Music Collection: Volume 1. It took them seven years to release the sequel – The Essential Games Music Collection: Volume 2. Does it measure up to the first?..."
