What's New At G-POP.net:
It's that time of the year - time to list the top articles of all time!
The History Channel Magazine - Melissa Minners' review of the now defunct magazine dedicated to history.
Excerpt: "I’m a history buff. I’m absolutely fascinated by our world’s past and how it affects the way the world works today. I had watched The History Channel on numerous occasions and discovered that there was a club that you could join on the Web. In joining the club, I discovered that for the tiny sum of $24 a year (club membership), I could receive The History Channel Magazine. I was promised fascinating facts, stories and legends and The History Channel Magazine has come through with flying colors..."
Class Act: The Movie or The Book: Pride and Prejudice - In this edition of Class Act, Justine Manzano discusses Pride and Prejudice in book and movie format.
Excerpt: "...This year in my Literature class, I was assigned Pride and Prejudice to read, having the luck of the new movie rendition starring Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFayden released only two days after the book was to be completed. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity for an investigation, I read the classic novel and then went to see the movie. Below is what I discovered..."
After Almost 50 Years, Gino’s Café Says Goodbye - Jon Minners' feature article about the closing of an iconic restaurant in the Bronx.
Excerpt: "...You’ve heard of Al Pacino, Chazz Palminteri, Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, Tony Randall, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, The Sopranos’ own Dominic Chianese, John Cusack and even funnyman Jackie Mason, right? Well, one thing they all have in common is their love for the great food at my hometown restaurant; Gino’s Café..."
Hachi: A Dog's Tale - Natasia Minners' article about one dog's loyalty to his person.
Excerpt: "So, the other day my human comes home with a stack of videos. “Natasia,” she says, “I have a movie you’re going to love! It’s called Hachi and it’s about a cute doggie who loves his master!” A DOG?!! Why would I want to watch a movie about a dog?! And why would I want to watch a movie about any animal who is subservient to humans? Utterly absurd! But my human seemed to think I was going to enjoy this film and popped it into the DVD player attached to MY television. And so, this is how I came to watch the movie Hachi: A Dog’s Tale..."
WEW Vol. 1- Vol. 4 - Drayven's Crow's review of the DVD collection of Women's Extreme Wrestling.
Excerpt: "Have you ever been at a gentleman's club and, while watching the dancer on the main stage, asked yourself "Yeah, she's beautiful and dances great, but can she wrestle?" Well then, the folks at Women's Extreme Wrestling have a double-sided 2-disc set for you..."
North and South - The Trilogy - Melissa Minners' review the soundtrack of the North and South trilogy DVD set.
Excerpt: "When I was a kid, I remember that one of my Dad’s favorite authors was John Jakes. You could always spot him with a John Jakes novel in hand. Author John Jakes was known for his period-piece epic novels that recounted the complicated lives of fictitious characters in historic settings. Dad would travel easily through books like The Rebels, The Bastard, The Seekers, etc., and when those novels were made into television movies, Dad would make certain he caught every episode..."
