Butter (Blu-Ray)

Butter is a hilarious film that looks into a vital substance to the American breakfast table – Butter. There is a competitive butter sculpting scene that has just lost one of its finest competitors, Bob (Ty Burrell, Modern Family). Bob’s wife (Jennifer Garner, The Invention of Lying) enters the competition in order to restore the family name. The drama and intrigue that is present in competitive butter sculpting could easily…

Schreiner

The carpenters that are on a project are the ultimate determiners of whether the product that they are creating is excellent or just merely passable. While a great many individuals will say that carpentry is a dying art, I feel that there are a number of different carpenters that are creating exciting and otherwise otherworldly products with their bare hands. However, I feel that a great many of the chain…

Casey Hurt Interview

Hello! Can you introduce yourselves to NeuFutur readers? Hey Readers, my name is Casey Hurt. It’s a pleasure to meet you. What changes do you see occurring in popular and more niche forms of music? I guess the biggest change that I’ve seen lately is Power and Choice moving back into the artists’ hands. Now more than every an artist can write, record and put out a record all on…

The Expendables 2 (Blu-Ray)

  The Expendables 2 is pound for pound the beefiest action movie that has ever been released, and the crazy action and bigger than life feel translates nicely to the home theater. The Expendables 2 takes the crew of the first Expendables flick (Stallone, Statham, Lo, Lindgren, Couture and Crews) and throws them into a mission of revenge after new recruit (Billy the Kid, played by Liam Hemsworth) is killed.…

Ben 10 Omniverse (Xbox 360)

Ben 10 Omniverse is a game that captures all of the unique styling and feel of the various Ben 10 efforts and establishes a title that providers considerable replay value. The title refers to the game’s storyline, which allows players to fit into the shoes of either Teen or Young Ben.  The game possesses distinctly different dynamics based on whether one players the single-player mode or has a friend join…

Stereotyperider – Prolonging The Inevitable (CD)

  Stereotyperider plays an interesting brand of emo/indie-rock. Their first track on “Prolonging The Inevitable”, moves between rejoicing in odd arrangements at one point to rocking out in true emo-rock style throughout much of “Down As”. Immediately impressive are the guitar solos found on the aforementioned track, which move from sizzling guitar tracks that are slightly sloppy to some of the most impressive angular-technical that the genre has ever seen.…

Stella Maris – S/T (CD) Review

  The band Stella Maris plays a brand of pop-indie rock that will recall The Fray just as much as it should tie the band to older acts in that style like Fuel and early Goo Goo Dolls. The style is not emo but rather attempts to create a sound in-between rock and indie that has links to both styles. “Faces on Screens” is the break out track of the…

High Ground (DVD)

For anyone who’s ever carried around the “Woe Is  Me” banner, bitching about how boring your job is or how much your back hurt, blah, blah, blah. Take an hour and a half and watch the powerfully engaging High Ground and then you’ll realize what struggle and perseverance really looks like. The documentary profiles 11 wounded vets from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts (along with the mother of one soldier killed overseas)…

The Perfects – Sudden Victory (CD)

  Sudden Victory is the latest effort from Baltimore’s The Perfects, and each of the cuts presented here provide considerable insight for listeners. The album begins with a titular opener; the new wave styling of The Perfects seems vital and current with each subsequent note. The track acts as a microcosm of the styles, genres, and approaches taken during the whole of Sudden Victory. Control is a sub-three minute effort…

Gentleman Jack – Rare Tennessee Whiskey

We have reviewed a number of whiskeys in NeuFutur, but Gentleman Jack has always been elusive. We were luck enough to receive a bottle for review, and are pleased to report that it is perhaps the best value for price that one can find at a liquor store. Gentleman Jack is extremely versatile, and it is this “everything for everyone” attitude that gives it such worth. The spirit will work…
