What's New At G-POP.net:
Fix Me Up A Home - Melissa Minners discusses her favorite HGTV home reno shows..
Excerpt: "I don’t watch many reality series, but when I do, they all seem to air on HGTV, a television channel all about homes, whether it’s finding the right starter home, vacation home, international dream home or fixing up a home. I’m partial to the fixer-upper shows that prove that a house with good bare bones can become the home of your dreams with a little elbow grease and ingenuity and a lot of vision..."
Wheeler - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the faux documentary starring Stephen Dorff.
Excerpt: "...I’ve seen Stephen Dorff in films and thought he was an okay actor, but never pictured him as much of a singer. So, I was surprised when I started listening to the Wheeler Soundtrack and found a pretty credible voice crooning country songs coming out of the speakers..."
A Street Cat Named Bob - Melissa Minners reviews the film based on the memoir by James Bowen.
Excerpt: "Years ago, I heard about A Street Cat Named Bob, a memoir written by a man who credits his survival to a cat. It was not the first time I had heard about someone with an addiction problem crediting an animal with helping them kick the habit and get their life back on track..I haven’t read this book, but when I found I could rent the film based on the story, I jumped at the opportunity...."
Music of Game of Thrones - Melissa Minners reviews a compilation of music from the hit HBO television series.
Excerpt: "Before I was introduced to the Game of Thrones book series by George R.R. Martin, people had raved to me about the HBO television adaptation...Upon watching the first season, I was struck by the drama of the series, but also by the music – particularly that of the main theme. When I learned that Silva Screen Records would be releasing an album featuring some of the music of Game of Thrones, I couldn’t resist checking it out..."
Say Goodbye for Now - Melissa Minners reviews a dramatic book about love, trust, hope and perseverance in a time of racial disparity.
Excerpt: "Some books catch your attention with a glance at the cover. Now, I know that the old adage goes: you can’t judge a book by its cover. But it was the cover, featuring a dog with two boys on either side of it, that caused me to read the description of Say Goodbye for Now. The cover and the description combined told me that I might be interested in reading this book..."
Desert Dancer - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack based on the true story of Afshin Ghaffarian.
Excerpt: "...The Desert Dancer Soundtrack features a rather artistic score that begins with a strings theme. There always seems to be a dichotomy of emotions going on in each track. Often times, tracks begin with a sense of beauty and joy, but then a breath of sadness or a spark of anguish moves in. Such is the case with Afshin's Theme. Wallfisch blends in some exotic sound amongst the traditional orchestral instrumentation to define the locale of the film..."
