Live: All in the Family and The Jeffersons - Melissa Minners reviews the live remake of classic Norman Lear tv sitcoms.
Excerpt: "When ABC first announced that they were going to do a live remake of shows I grew up with – All in the Family and The Jeffersons – I was not amused. I thought that the powers that be might ruin groundbreaking sitcoms that aimed at educating America as to class, race and gender discrimination, among other things. How could anyone nowadays do this show justice. Well, I got my answer shortly before the episode aired – Jimmy Kimmel and Norman Lear. Norman Lear was the creator of these shows and surely wouldn’t allow them to be destroyed and Jimmy Kimmel is a huge fan and believes in being true to the original series. Thus, I decided to check out Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear’s All in the Family and The Jeffersons..."
Stella Blomkvist - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the Icelandic crime tv series.
Excerpt: "...The Stella Blomkvist Soundtrack features an edgy score heavy with synthesizers and percussion. The first track, Stella, features the main character’s theme. The synthwave sound gives you some insight into the character – that she is a badass who often flirts with danger and doesn’t fear the consequences..."
Star Wars: Thrawn: Alliances - Melissa Minners reviews the latest Star Wars novel featuring Thrawn by Timothy Zahn.
Excerpt: "I haven’t read a Star Wars book in a while, so I decided to check out one of the new books I recently purchased at the local Barnes & Noble. But which one…well, that was an easy choice. I had just purchased Star Wars: Thrawn: Alliances by Timothy Zahn. Mr. Zahn is my favorite Star Wars writer, having brought the Star Wars Universe back to live in the early 1990s with The Thrawn Trilogy. I loved that series and every other Star Wars book he has written since. Having created the character of Thrawn, who better to write more of his back story than Zahn. I couldn’t wait to start reading..."
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the first live action Pokémon film.
Excerpt: "...I wasn’t quite certain what to expect from this score. On the one hand, the film is based on a video game, so one might expect some heavy synth styling. On the other hand, Pikachu is pictured dressed in a throwback gumshoe detective outfit, so one might expect some detective noir/jazz. According to Henry Jackman, to create the music for Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, he blended orchestral with electronic music..."
FBI - Melissa Minners reviews the CBS crime series from the creators of Law & Order.
Excerpt: "I had meant to watch this dramatic crime series on CBS in preparation for a First Impressions article, but I never got a chance to write it and after a few episodes, it seemed silly to write my First Impressions when the series was half-over. So, I decided to wait until FBI had aired for a full season and give you my “full impressions” of the series..."
Impulse - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the dramatic science fiction YouTube series.
Excerpt: "...The Impulse Soundtrack definitely has that science fiction feel. The score is quite dark…rumbling almost at times…and contains a haunting electronic sound. To create that sound, DERU used something decidedly not electronic..."
