What's New At G-POP.net:
Lady Bird - Melissa Minners reviews the dramedy starring Saiorse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf.
Excerpt: "After listening to the soundtrack, reading about the film and listening to all of the awards hype, I was definitely interested in seeing Lady Bird, starring Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf. But time constraints would hold me back and then, once I finally did see it, other time constraints and commitments kept me from writing the review. Finally, here it is, my review of Lady Bird..."
The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the HBO documentary about one of the most important journalistic figures of the 20th Century.
Excerpt: "...The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee Soundtrack features a dramatic and upbeat string and piano-led opening score. Depending on the moments in Ben Bradlee’s life, the score can become rather dark and more dramatic. Tracks like Whitehouse Reaction feature longer and more drawn-out strokes on the violin. Cover-up is a rather serious piano piece. Headlines features a darker, lower registry opening. There are various themes to be found on this album..."
Bird Box - Melissa Minners reviews the much-talked-about Netflix film starring Sandra Bullock.
Excerpt: "I had been seeing previews for a new movie scheduled to air on Netflix for about a month now. Based on a novel by Josh Malerman, Bird Box stars Sandra Bullock in the lead role and has a rather frightening premise – an entity is out there and if you see it, you die. I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to see this film, especially based on the incredibly varying opinions I’ve been reading on the web, but a co-worker assured me that I was going to like this film, so I decided to give it a shot..."
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the new computer-animated movie starring a new person behind the mask of our favorite webslinger.
Excerpt: "I had been seeing previews for a funky new computer-animated Spider-Man film featuring a new young man behind the mask. It caught my eye right away and I began to ask people who have seen it whether this was something I might want to see. They said that it was totally out of the Spider-Man continuum and offered a fresh new look on an old favorite...Well, I had already made up my mind that I wanted to see Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse when I received an offer to review the movie’s soundtrack. You bet I jumped at the opportunity..."
Star Wars: Canto Bight - Melissa Minners reviews the short story anthology based on characters seen in the Canto Bight casino featured in The Last Jedi.
Excerpt: "When I first heard about Canto Bight, a book compiling stories about the various entities seen on screen in the casino visited by Finn and Rose in The Last Jedi, I was excited. I’d bought Star Wars compilation books featuring characters from bars and other locales visited in Star Wars films, like Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina and Tales from Jabba's Palace, and found them very entertaining. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Star Wars: Canto Bight..."
If Beale Street Could Talk - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the critically acclaimed romantic drama based on a novel by James Baldwin.
Excerpt: "...Listening to the If Beale Street Could Talk Soundtrack, I noted a number of different musical styles were woven into the score. The album opens with Eden (Harlem) and we are instantly transported back to the 1970s with an orchestral score reminiscent of all those dramatic films I watched as a child. Fast forward to the third track, Agape, and we are hit with some amazingly played jazz horns accompanying a beautiful piano piece. Then comes Encomium and its classical orchestral tones. Through the entire beginning of the score, one can feel the romance..."
