What's New At G-POP.net:
Puzzle Soundtrack - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the romantic drama starring Kelly Macdonald.
Excerpt: "...Halloran’s pianist roots take center stage on the Puzzle Soundtrack with the piano serving as a theme for Agnes. A simple, elegant theme, the music becomes more involved as Agnes becomes more interested in jigsaw solving, adding strings and woodwinds in the mix..."
The Forbidden Door - Melissa Minners reviews the fourth novel in the Dean Koontz mystery thriller series.
Excerpt: "I’ve read a great many Dean Koontz novels over the years, but most of them were thrillers that contained elements of the supernatural or horror. Then I was introduced to the Jane Hawk series with The Crooked Staircase. Even though it was the third novel in the series, I found I could follow the story without having read the others (though I eventually plan to do so) and I was hooked. That’s why when the opportunity came to read the next novel in the series, The Forbidden Door, I jumped on the chance..."
Ultimate Superheroes - Melissa Minners reviews a compilation of superhero themes.
Excerpt: "On February 15, 2019, Sony Music announced the release of a new album featuring music form some of the most memorable scores created for superhero films. Being a fan of a great many of these scores, I couldn’t wait to take a listen, so I downloaded a copy of Ultimate Superheroes: Music to Save the World To and prepared to be wowed..."
Is This Heaven? - Melissa Minners reviews the documentary about Pete Hill, a Negro League Hall of Famer whose incorrectly marked plaque would inspire a movement.
Excerpt: "Here we are, coming upon another Baseball Opening Day. That means it’s that time of the year where I search for baseball books to read and baseball movies to watch. My latest baseball search led me to a documentary about a mistake on a Hall of Fame plaque that reveals more than just the correct name of a baseball legend, but the location of his final resting place..."
My Dad, Yogi - Melissa Minners reviews the memoir by Dale Berra.
Excerpt: "When I look for books, I sometimes choose them based on upcoming seasons. Such was the case with My Dad, Yogi by Dale Berra. I was looking for a book I could review to celebrate baseball opening day. I was also interested in this book for another reason – what better way to learn about a baseball great than from his son, also no slouch on the baseball diamond?..."
Baseball: The First Inning: Our Game - Melissa Minners reviews the first episode of a baseball documentary series by Ken Burns.
Excerpt: "When football season is over, all I can think about is baseball. I couldn’t care less about hockey or the March Madness of college basketball. All I can think about is a sport I have loved since I was very little...I could always imagine myself a professional baseball player when I was out there with my brother and our friends, playing a game with a wiffle ball and bat…Baseball has been with me since childhood and I will always get excited around opening day. That’s why, when that time comes around, but isn’t quite here yet, I look for books or movies that keep me going until the real thing is here. It was that search that led me to the documentary series, Baseball, by Ken Burns..."
