This week marks the second anniversary of the birth of G-POP.net!!! Happy Birthday, G-POP!!! And a special thanks to all our supporters out there that helped make this site possible and continue to support us throughout our journey into the land of entertainment!
Here's What's New This Week:
What Worked and What Sucked: CBS's and The CW's 2006-2007 Fall Season Edition - Justine Manzano discusses the 2007-2007 Fall Season shows that she watched on CBS and The CW.
Excerpt: "Hello again, everybody out in TV world! Last time, we discussed in detail what worked and what sucked in the last season of TV that ABC produced for us. Now, we move on to the wonderful worlds of CBS and the new CW, formerly known as UPN and The WB to see what had us cheering and groaning last season. Yep, in these hot summer months, a TV recap is just what we need to cool off. Ahhh….remember the Fall when you could only just imagine these shows? What a beautiful thing…."
Random Acts of Ismael: Misery Muse - Ismael Manzano rants about how a quantity of angst draws us closer to certain subject matter.
Excerpt: "It's time once again for another well circulated, world-famous, all important, social diatribe by the ruler and master of all things pop culture—except for anything regarding country music, country movies, anything outside of New York City that isn't covered on the WB morning news program and pretty much anything else that I'd actually have to get up off my ass and research. This weeks' rant tackles the subject of misery and inspiration and the link between them..."
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End[/u][/url] - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack for the latest installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Excerpt: "The legacy of the Pirates of the Caribbean lives on in a new movie from Walt Disney Pictures – Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. This is the third movie in a trilogy of popular action/adventure films based on a Walt Disney ride and starring Johnny Depp.., Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley. Having had so much success with musical score compositions in the first and second movies, award-winning composer Hans Zimmer was asked to compose the music for At World's End..."
Encores of the Week:
Gift of Expression - New writer, Belinda Sanchez reviews this book of poetry from M. Duane Rawls.
Excerpt: "I've always been a major fan of poetry, so when G-Pop decided to pass a book of poetry on to me to review, I couldn't resist. I always love to read things by new and interesting artists and, having never heard of M. Duane Rawls, I jumped at the chance to see what this virtually unknown poet had to offer..."
My Super Ex-Girlfriend - Ismael Manzano reviews the comedy which asks the question - what happens when a superhero in a relationship gets dumped?
Excerpt: "I was first interested in seeing this movie in the theaters, but due to complications with budgeting, scheduling and the fact that my wife did not want to see it, I was forced to wait until it came to video. And then, due to her really not wanting to see it, I was forced to wait until I was home sick and could order it on my cable IO to watch it. Well, it's been a long wait, but I here's my review of My Super Ex-Girlfriend..."
Platina: Volume 1 - Melissa Minners reviews the latest manwha graphic novel from Yeon Joo Kim.
Excerpt: "When I received Platina: Volume 1 by Yeon Joo Kim, I had never before read manhwa, the Korean equivalent to manga. In fact, I hadn't read much manga either. But, G-POP.net is about trying new things, so I decided that, rather letting one of the other writers here review the book, I would try my hand at it..."
