Southern Comfort: Ready To Serve Hurricane Cocktail (30 Proof)

For those that have not had a Hurricane in the past, it is (obviously) an alcoholic drink, made with light and dark rum, simple syrup and a ton of different juices (a complete list includes passion fruit, orange, grenadine, and lime juice). The Southern Comfort iteration of this drink hovers at about 30 proof, uses whiskey instead of rum, and is one of the latest flavors in the Cocktail line…

Slug #247 (Zine)

It’s been a little bit since we have had a chance to review SLUG, but the issue comes through with shining colors. Of course, there are a number of different advertisements for largely Salt Lake City-based events, but the vast majority of content in this issue deals with a healthy mix of skating, music, movies, and local culture.

Hope: The Alzheimer’s Project (3 DVD Set)

Alzheimer’s Disease is one of those diseases that is increasingly prevalent in the United States, especially considering that the Baby Boomer generation is rapidly getting older. To showcase exactly how prevalent this issue is becoming, HBO Documentary Films and the National Institute on Aging (as well as many others) have put together this set of documentaries, which look to probe every side of this unfortunate disease. This 3-DVD set comes…

Skyriders (CD)

As someone that was born a number of years after Skyriders was released, I had to do a little bit in the way of research before I could pop in the score. The film itself is well over the top, using a well-trodden plot device (the lead character’s family is kidnapped by baddies) and resolving the conflict by nothing less than hanggliding to save the day. It seems to me…

Fire and Ice (Book)

Over the course of the last twenty-five years, author J.A. Jance has provided a tremendous amount of work in fleshing out the characters of J.P. Beaumont and Sheriff Joanna Brady. Fire and Ice is perhaps Jance’s best work to date, as the story that Jance tells showcases two distinct sub-plots hat come together in a way that will keep readers focused in throughout the entirety of the 350-plus pages. The…

Dewar’s 18 (80 Proof)

We here at NeuFutur have had the chance to try a few types of scotch in the time since we first began the alcohol section; Dewar’s 18 is the first that we have decided to cover. The presentation is what will immediately strike potential purchasers, as the spirit itself comes in a lavish box; after this box is opened, the rich amber color of the spirit comes out. After opening…

Dragonball: Evolution (Blu-Ray)

Dragonball Z was one of the biggest anime shows to cross over to the American markets in the nineties, and it is frankly surprising that they took so long to make a film adaptation of it. For example, it only took the span of a few years to make movies based on two popular video games – Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, while only a few extra years passed between…

Space Bust-A-Move (Nintendo DS)

Bust-A-Move is one of those games that practically everyone has had some experience with. It was really a casual game before everyone got into casual games, and this latest iteration in the series has ensured that a completely new generation of fans will be able to enjoy the addicting game play. This title, for the DS, immediately will hit players with vibrant colors and fun-looking character design.

Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse: Season One (DVD Set)

Dollhouse is likely the one show that simultaneously has tons of buzz surrounding it and ratings that deserve to be higher. The titular entity employs individuals termed “Actives” for the term of five years. These individuals have their personalities wiped and are pimped out to different clients; the actions taken by the Dollhouse and their Actives are shrouded in mystery, operating in secret in a seemingly-current society.

Hughes Net

Hughesnet is one of those companies that really has increased their worth in the last few years. While they were always a solid companies, hughs in El Paso, Texas should be seen as a shining example of a satellite internet company. The customer service, speed and ease of installation all rate amongst the highest that I have ever familiarized myself with in the years since I first got satellite internet…
