Each and every week at G-POP.net, we strive to bring you a tremendous variety of entertainment. Here's what's new for this week's issue:
The WB's, Cable and Left Out Fall 2005-2006 Television Season: What Worked and What Sucked - Justine Manzano continues her series of reviews regarding the Fall 2005 Television Season. This week - The WB, Cable Networks, and a look at some shows that were missed.
Excerpt: " For the last few weeks, I have spent my time bitching, moaning, and celebrating the past television season in all its glory, ups and downs. This week, I wrap up this four week long series with a look at The WB, some cable stations and a couple of shows I didnt have space for in the previous installments. So, buckle your safety belts and enjoynext week I revert to being a reviewer again..."
Broken - Melissa Minners reviews the debut CD from Amy Famiglietti.
Excerpt: "Boston, Massachusetts native Amy Famiglietti has dreams of becoming a star in the music industry. With talents that include singing, songwriting, dancing and choreography and an ambitious outlook toward her career, she is destined to achieve her goal. Broken is Amy Famigliettis debut CD and features six songs. It is clear from the start of the first track that Amy is no ordinary singer. She is blessed with a rich, clear, powerful voice that will undoubtedly take her far in the industry."
BloodRayne - Ismael Manzano reviews the movie adaptation of the popular video game.
Excerpt: "It has become a well know fact amongst my droves of loyal followers that I love all things vampires. Movie, book, graphic novel, or poem, I love the whole vampire genre when its done right. Sadly, most attempts to revamppardon the punthis old tale of immorality and bloodlust, either come up short or just bitepun definitely intended. When BloodRayne, the uncut version, became available for DVD, I had to rent it and see for myself whether this movie was a hit or yet another miss..."
Bronx Accent: A Literary and Pictorial History of the Borough - Melissa Minners reviews a new book about the borough she was raised in - The Bronx, New York.
Excerpt: "Growing up in The Bronx, I have a natural attachment to the area. Every street seems to hold some sort of memory of the past for me. Over the years, the Bronx has undergone some major changes. Often times it seemed that the changes The Bronx went through were changes for the worst. A great deal of media coverage has been spent on the bad things that happen in The Bronx, the positive changes brushed aside for the more negative side of things. Very few people that I have spoken with folks who cringe when I say that I am from The Bronx truly know anything about the rich and fascinating history of the borough. They only know what they hear the destruction and turmoil that plagued the area in the 1970s and 1980s are first and foremost in their minds. They know very little about the efforts for reconstruction of The Bronx. They know little about the artists, poets, actors and others who grew to greatness in the Bronx. Bronx Accent: A Literary and Pictorial History of the Borough by Bronx Borough Historian Lloyd Ultah and poet and author Barbara Unger presents a different sort of view of The Bronx from past to present."
Bronx Producer Catches The Fever for Success - Jon Minners writes about Handal Gomez-Abdelrahim and his latest project, The Fever, a movie that chronicles the life of Sal Abbatiello, owner of the club where freestyle first took hold.
Excerpt: "To say that Handal Gomez-Abdelrahim is ambitious is an understatement. The Bronx-born director and producer is serious about making a name for himself and has been hard at work on a series of different projects in an attempt to take Hollywood by storm."
Billy Elliot: The Musical - Melissa Minners reviews the Original Cast Recording of the musical, featuring music written by Elton John.
Excerpt: "In 2000, the tale of Billy Elliot hit the big screen amidst rave reviews. The story, set in northeast England in the mid 1980s, centers around an 11-year-old boy who dreams of winning a spot at the Royal Ballet School, much to the chagrin of his miner father. In 2007, a musical based version of Billy Elliot will open on Broadway. It is already being hailed as The Greatest British Musical by The London Telegraph and The first musical since Rent to exert such a complete emotional hold on its audience by The New York Times."
Random Acts of Ismael and Badseed's Bottomline are new this week:
Random Acts of Ismael: Talk Show Deities - "Believers and Nonbelievers, beware! The Talk Show Deities of the Television are growing stronger and more numerous by the moment. They threaten to overtake the land of TV, infect it with its pervasive, mind-numbing drivel, much like their counterparts, the Reality Show Deities have done with the latter half of the land of Television. I warn you now so that you will be prepared, for no matter how innocent or benign they may seem, if given the chance, these Deities will destroy all that is good and pure about our precious Television, leaving nothing but lowbrow, repetitious gibberish from which we will never escape. In order to protect yourselves from these powerful beasts, you must first understand them and learn to distinguish between their various levels of influence..."
Badseed's Bottomline #377: Back to Basics - "Hey yo! Wrestling, wrestling, wrestling. Everywhere I look, theres wrestling on my television screen. Im like a little kid in a candy store. Needless to say, I got a lot to say, so lets just get into it..."
