What's New At G-POP.net:
Doctor Who: Series 11 - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the 11th season of the popular British science fiction television series.
Excerpt: "...With a different composer, the Doctor Who: Series 11 Soundtrack was bound to be a new and exciting experience. The Opening Titles received a revamp, making it edgier and electronic sounding. According to an interview Segun Akinola did with SYFY.com, he decided to experiment with sound quite a bit for this score, taking existing sounds and manipulating them. With the addition of new companions for a new Doctor, all new musical themes would be created, touching upon their ethnicity as well as their emotional perspectives along their journey..."
We're Going to Need More Wine - Melissa Minners reviews a book by Gabrielle Union.
Excerpt: "Why did I purchase this book? I had a credit I received after buying Michelle Obama’s memoir and this title grabbed me: We're Going to Need More Wine. The title alone was funny, but then I noticed that the book was written by Gabrielle Union. I have always liked Gabrielle Union’s work and, after watching interviews with the actress, always had the feeling that she was “real.” I felt that this book may offer up some insight into the life of the actress and I had the feeling that this book would be honest to a fault in doing so..."
The Hustle - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the female-based remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Excerpt: "...The music of The Hustle is what you would expect from a comedy with a sophisticated twist. Each character has a theme: Josephine’s is sophisticated violins, while Penny’s is mainly guitars. The two collide at times. When working against one another, things can get rather funny with guitars playing off violins and accordions entering the picture. But things get even more interesting when the women decide to work together and the combo of violins and guitars offer up a sort of sophisticated, yet free style..."
An Actor Prepares - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the comedy starring Jeremy Irons.
Excerpt: "...I can honestly say that I enjoyed the soundtrack of An Actor Prepares. The music is quite enjoyable and the short, but not overly short tracks, made for an enjoyable experience that I couldn’t help but listen to multiple times..."
The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes - Melissa Minners reviews a dramatic mystery by Ruth Hogan.
Excerpt: "I was looking for something different to read when I came across The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes by Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things. I had heard great things about The Keeper of Lost Things and thought it might be interesting to read her new novel, especially thanks to the flowery cover and the tag line: “They say friends make life worth living.” That tag line definitely sold me..."
Blind - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a romantic drama starring Alec Baldwin, Demi Moore and Dylan McDermott.
Excerpt: "...After reading about the film and watching the preview, I can’t really say I understand the song selection. Unless one of the characters is into jazz. But I can say that the singing, particularly that of Sasha Lazard was beautiful, especially her work on The Sexiest Mistake. And Amy Lee – well, I loved her vocals when she was with Evanescence, so it goes without saying that I loved her work on Through Your Eyes..."
