Sensational Soundtracks: June

-
   Are we halfway through the year already?! How is this even possible? I thought February wasn't far behind us then BAM! It's June. Well, I guess it also marks us half way through this Sensational Soundtrack journey. Have you been enjoying it so far? I know I have! It really gives me an opportunity to stretch out and listen to more music, which is always a good thing.



Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

by Bear McCreary 

   I know, I know. This movie literally just cam out, but hey, that wasn't part of the rules, was it? I saw this recently (obviously) with my siblings, and it was really enjoyable, if you enjoy massive monsters, gorgeous CGI, and destruction on a global scale. But I'm not here to give an opinion on the movie, but to praise its soundtrack. 
  This movie packs in so much action and fight scenes, and the music matches perfectly. Ever have those days where you feel like fighting the world? Well, this music will definitely set you on the warpath. There is so. Much. Bass and choir. Is it appropriate and totally necessary? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean the entirety of McCreary's score is all heart- stopping destructiveness. Goodbye Old Friend is a mournful piece, beautifully followed by Rebirth. Also, the titular track King of the Monsters truly lives up to its name. 
  I don't know Bear McCreary from much, except that he composed the theme for The Walking Dead, which is one of those TV themes that instantly activates my fandom radar whenever its played.

Robots in Film Blogathon

     Hello lovelies! This is my entry for my first ever blogathan! It's Robots in Film, hosted by  Hamlette's Soliloquy  and  Quiggy  at the Midnite Drive- In. I'll be covering the Transformers films and the robots in them. Here's the link to " Arrival to Earth " by Steve Jablonsky. I've played it on violin and it is epic! Highly recommend while you read! Autobot or Decipticon?    Move aside all other robots. These are the true killing machines and sentient beings. Their origins begin way back in the 80s, but they didn't get a live- action film until 2007. Special effects brought the robots to life, with detailed transforming sequences and large scale battle scenes. They've covered eleven years so far, from Transformers (2007) to Bumblebee (2018), with hopefully more to come. More than meets the eye.    The Transformers aren't just robots with cool abilities; they're an alien race, as intelligent and functioning a...

Know the Novel, Part 1: Introductory   Here's part one to my novel, by  Christine I know it's after NaNo and I'm already on the third draft, but I'm going to do this anyway and deepen my own knowledge of my story. So, here goes.                                                    The Third Coming 1. What first sparked the idea for this novel?    As you may or may not have read  already the idea came to me last year, while watching Yu- Gi- Oh! I'd had my current main character tucked away for a while, the product of a dream and couldn't let him go. I never thought I'd use him. But after getting the idea from the anime, I realized he'd be perfect for the role of hero. Thus started the Third Coming! 2. Share a blurb!  Sometimes, all it takes is the will to stand up.   Cas Yeager has lived a shelt...

Lovely Blog Party

   Hi lovelies! As you can tell, I'm joining the Lovely Blog Party this year, hosted by  Cordy ! It runs all February long, and to start, she has asked ten questions regarding romantic cliches. I want to answer the questions and then tell you one of my favorite couples. So, I guess this is a top ten kind of deal, even if they're in no particular order. Prepare yourselves for a long post!   Also, I MUST issue a huge warning for spoilers ahead! 1. Isn't it romantic to be serenaded?       Since there are dozens of movies out there with songs exchanged between lovers, I say yes. I would love to be sung to, or sing along with, by my true love. So dapper! Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan    OK, so they don't exactly run to each other singing at the top of their lungs how much they mean to one another; they don't have to. Actions speak louder than words, and they showcase it perfectly. Will has been in love with Elizabeth since t...
