What's New At G-POP.net:
Chloe's Litter Box: One Cat's View of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - Chloe Minners reviews rants about a Christmas classic.
Excerpt: "You know Grumpy and Max and Lil Bub, too….but do you recall, the most underrated kitty of all! Chloe the opinionated kitty…had a bunch of views to share. I’ll share if you wanna listen and if you don’t, I really don’t care. Hey, there! I’m Chloe Minners and it’s that time of year when the humans sit down to watch Christmas stuff. Last night it was Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Man, I can’t believe they watch this stuff. Here’s my opinion of that Christmas favorite:..."
Coco - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the new Disney/Pixar animated hit.
Excerpt: "...The Coco Soundtrack features songs performed by Miguel and Natalia Lafourcade, Anthony Gonzalez, Benjamin Bratt and Gael Garcia Bernal, and musical score by Michael Giacchino...The big song for Coco, repeated a number of times in various formats on this album is Remember Me. The lyrics describe Miguel’s great-great-grandfather’s feelings as he left his family to pursue his dream..."
Leaving Time - Melissa Minners reviews a dramatic mystery novel by Jodi Picoult.
Excerpt: "Sometimes there’s a sale at a bookstore, say a Buy 2 Get the 3rd Free thing, and you find two books you want right away. The third can usually be a struggle. That’s what happened when I found myself looking for a third book at the local Barnes and Noble. I wondered what the third book should be when I noticed Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult. I’d heard of the author before - I had seen My Sister’s Keeper, a movie adaptation of one of her novels and a friend of mine has raved about another of her novels, Sing You Home. So, I felt that Leaving Time would be a good third book choice..."
Murder at the Orient Express (2017) - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the latest movie version of the Agatha Christie classic.
Excerpt: "...The music of Murder on the Orient Express is mainly orchestral. The opening tracks are filled with wonderment and awe with a hint of the exotic as a nod toward the locale. The fourth track, The Orient Express, is fast-paced with a piano style that mimics the sound of the train’s wheel movement as it speeds towards its destination. The longest track on the album, Justice, is the best reflection of Patrick Doyle’s classical training..."
Thor: The Mighty Avenger: Volume 1: The God Who Fell to Earth - Melissa Minners reviews a graphic novel outside the Thor continuum.
Excerpt: "I’ve been catching up on some Marvel comic books and realized that I have read a great deal of the Spider-Man, Iron Man and X-Men comics, but really haven’t read much of Thor. I decided to fix that by checking out Thor: The Mighty Avenger: Volume 1: The God Who Fell to Earth..."
Charlotte's Web - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the 1973 animated film based on E.B. White's children's book.
Excerpt: "... When I was a kid, I must have read Charlotte's Web by E.B. White a dozen times. I loved this book in which a scared little farm pig becomes friends with a barn spider. When the animated film adaptation of the book came to television, I loved it as much as the book. Thus, I was thrilled to learn that Varese Sarabande Records would be releasing a new vinyl edition of the Charlottes Web Soundtrack on November 17, 2017 and that I would get the opportunity to review the soundtrack for G-POP...."
