neo-soul

It is associated with hip hop not to be confused with gangsta rap, trip hop, classic soul, and street culture. the term was originated by Kedar Massenburg from Motown records in the late 90s.
erykah badu, jill scott, floetry are neo-soul artists.

dolby pro logic II

A system that splits a stereo signal into a 5.1 surround sound system. Since stereo recordings are made for 2 speakers and 5.1 surround sound systems have 6 speakers dolby pro logic II splits the different sounds into different speakers based on the wave length of the sound within the recording. Normally the vocals fall into the front center speaker and the instruments may fall into surrounding speakers and the bass falls into the sub woofers. many video game developers make games using dolby pro logic II technology because there is no digital audio outsource for the game device except some of the newer systems such as the ps3 and xbox 360. games that use dolby pro logic II will have sounds fall into an individual speaker based on where the sounds of gunshots or effects is located in relation to the perspective of the gamer. cd's are only available in stereo and dvd's could hold up to 7.1 surround sound. with dolby pro logic II stereo recordings could seem to have as much depth as a 5.1 recording.
some albums are recorded with dolby pro logic II in mind. notice how the main vocals falls into the front center speaker and the choir falls into all the surrounding speakers.

film noir

The definition of a film noir is very argueable and loose. Some state film noir as a time period in which the film was made. others suggest it as a style of film may be characterized by dark imagery, showing the end at the beginning of the film, shadows, corruption, night life, violence, pessimism, detective films, voice over narration by the character, inevitable bad endings, a film strong on thought. film noir may cross many genres such as action, sci-fi, drama, suspense, thriller, action, and even romantic comedy. One of the first films to be defined as a film noir is The Maltese Falcon and one of the defining films is double indemnity.
Film noir is still seen influenced in films today.

gimmick

A negative connotation for a unique characteristic to an advertisment, business, object, person,story, film, etc. that is unique for the sake of being unique or to draw attention. A gimmick normally holds no substance. Many products that try to be innovative and new that fail end up being labeled gimmicks. gimmicks sometimes end up becoming non gimmicks if it lasts through time and is proven itself worthy and becomes a tradition.
Mike Huckabee's wit is a gimmick. The band tool is a gimmick. the 3-d glasses are a gimmick. the strange twist ending to a movie is a gimmick. the video rental store's ad on tv with the sexy girls on it is a gimmick.
