What's New At G-POP.net:
Lefty O'Doul: Baseball's Forgotten Ambassador - Melissa Minners reviews a book about an American baseball player who helped pave the way for Japanese baseball players to achieve greatness in the States.
Excerpt: "This time of year, when baseball season is here, I enjoy reading books about the sport. Prior to seeing this book offered on Netgalley, I had heard about Lefty O'Doul – he used to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers after all – but I really didn’t know all that much about him. I certainly didn’t know what he did for baseball in Japan. I couldn’t wait to check out Lefty O'Doul: Baseball's Forgotten Ambassador by Dennis Snelling..."
Colossal - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a science fiction comedy starring Anne Hathaway.
Excerpt: "...Thus, the score is actually a bit ominous, featuring a mix of strings, electric guitars, electric beats and sounds. We get the impression that Gloria’s life is not quite a party…or rather a party gone wrong that she can’t seem to find her way out of..."
Game of Thrones: Season 2 - Melissa Minners reviews the second season of Game of Thrones on DVD.
Excerpt: "Having started reading the books in the George R.R. Martin A Song of Fire and Ice series, I was interested in learning how well the television adaptation of the books kept to the storyline. I watched the first season of the show and was impressed, but now that I had completed the third book, I wondered if the television series was still keeping true to the original content. Happily, I was gifted with Seasons 2 and 3 of Game of Thrones so I could find out..."
The Handmaid's Tale - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the new Hulu dramatic series.
Excerpt: "...The resulting score is a mix of orchestral and synths, acoustic and electronic. The sounds of normal instruments are often distorted to create a whole new and often ominous sound..."
Birds of Prey: Gabby and Dinah: Part 1 - A Birds of Prey fanfic by Melissa Minners.
Excerpt: "...It should be noted that all of the characters and many of the locales in this fan fiction are not mine. They are owned by The WB. This fan fiction is somewhat of an homage to the series, though I have used a little liberty here with events. The story takes place during the Birds of Prey television series and continues through my other fanfics which can be found here. I hope you enjoy..."
Galavant: The Unreleased Collection - Melissa Minners reviews the previously unreleased songs of the musical comedy.
Excerpt: "...However, the songs of Galavant live on through the soundtracks in January 2015 and January 2016. Unfortunately for fans of the series, these soundtracks were missing some of the hilarious songs. Now, Hollywood Records is releasing Galavant: The Unreleased Collection featuring twenty previously unreleased songs from the series with music by Alan Menkin (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Tangled) and lyrics by Glenn Slater (Home on the Range, Tangled)..."
