Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Michael Giacchino

After seeing Rogue One in the theater, I liked it better than Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  The story is as expected.  If you're a Star Wars fan, you know how it should end.  I did like the character development, even though it felt rushed at times.

Favorite: Track #19 - Jyn Erso & Hope Suite

Hidden Figures (Original Score) - Hans Zimmer, Pharrell Williams & Benjamin Wallfisch

I knew very little about the mathematicians that worked behind the scenes of NASA. I don't remember it being mentioned when I was in school, but it's something that probably should have been discussed a lot more.  Eventually I'll see the movie.  In the meantime, I'm going to search the internet for more information on.  Some of piano cues surprisingly to me sounds like James Horner. There is also a soundtrack.  Not really my cup of tea.

Favorite: Track #20 - Katherine Calculates


For those with kids, there's a Lego set with the Women of NASA.  This may help inspire or spark an interest in the next generation of engineers and mathematicians.
