Lie to Me: The Complete Third Season (DVD Set)

This DVD set contains the last thirteen episodes of Lie to Me; while the shows had slightly softer ratings than did the other two seasons, I feel that the writers and actors were able to really create a special series. The backstories for each of the main cast of characters were further fleshed out this season, while there is a sense that there could be some serious story arcs should…

Lucky is a film that has an interesting premise. A childhood friend and current gold digger (Ari Graynor) marries an individual that has just won the lottery (Colin Hanks). Marrying eir for all of the wrong reasons, it gradually comes into view that the lottery winner is much more dark than previously thought. As a result, this significant other is forced to do increasingly illegal actions just to make sure…

C-BOL (Creatine)

Creatine has been one of the widest used supplements since it came into prominence in the 90s, but the different varieties of the stuff can make choosing a product confusing. Thermolife’s C-BOLis powered by the inclusion of creatine nitrate, and will further benefit those that purchase it by the presence of their nitrate techonology. Creatine nitrate allows the expulsion of additional water, while ensuring that muscles can growth without any…

Phase 7 (DVD)

There are a number of horror movies that look to take a more comical take on the genre. The amount that these films vary in terms of quality and of star caliber involved is similarly substantial; saying that, it becomes necessary to look at reviews and determine whether this is a hit or miss. Phase 7 is a title that does not benefit from an American’s familiarity with their actors…

1001 Touch Games (Nintendo DS)

1001 Touch Games is the perfect time waster. The title has (as one can guess) over 1000 levels of a variety of different titles which will get one’s digits going. The titles themselves do not use bleeding-edge graphics, but are a fun type of casual game that players of all ages can appreciate. The different genres of games here are substantial – along with hidden object searches, one can play…

Body Octane Game Day (Pre-workout)

I have been working out seriously over the course of the last fourteen months, and I have shed about 95 pounds and have packed on a decent amount of muscle. However, I found myself hitting a pretty serious plateau towards the end of my last pre-workout drink. We received the Body Octane Game Day a few days back and have begun to use it as our primary pre-workout. The product’s…

Go Vacation (Nintendo Wii)

Go Vacation is one of those few titles that individuals of all ages can appreciate and be challenged by; where a number of all-ages titles are made too easy for the older set, I feel that Namco Bandai’s Go Vacation will challenge all equally. The narration of the titular activity is such that players will be entered into their own world after they pick from a wide array of avatars.…

Jonathan Wilson – Gentle Spirit (CD)

This is a hell of a debut. Where there are a considerable amount of first recordings that seem to be a route toward a more polished second album, Wilson immediately hits the ground running from the beginning of the album’s first track. This titular song provides listeners with a microcosm of the sounds, styles, and overall approaches that Wilson will be taking with the album. Canyon in the Rain is…

Tim Mayer – Resilience (CD)

There is an absolutely sage sound to the tracks on Resilience that belies the youth of tenor sax player Tim Mayer. While a more youthful disposition would have Mayer push eirself to the front of each of the album’s 10 tracks, Resilience has a much more varied and intelligent use of the aforementioned instrument. Nowhere is this heard as well as during the introductory For Miles; the track is able…

This is because they have made their Energy Fuel product in tablet format – Vitamin D and Chromium will ensure that one is able to properly accept the blend of different herbs and fruits present.…
