New Video for Yelle’s “Comme Un Enfant” Premieres on Rolling Stone

Just in time for the second leg of the Safari Disco Tour 2011, Yelle has rolled out a brand new — and very pink — new video for the addictive single “Comme Un Enfant.” Rolling Stone premiered the video today, which sees Julie Budet weaving a fashion show-esque wonderland around some slick choreography from a handful of dancers in bodysuits. If you missed it, MTV Hive recently their hands on…

Blue Velvet (Blu-Ray)

Blue Velvet is one of cinema’s classics, and it only makes sense that MGM is going to release a tremendous Blu-Ray on the film’s 25th anniversary. After picking up a copy and popping it in, the first thing that viewers will notice is exactly how much care was taken in bringing the film to a contemporary and current set of visuals. After taking in the feature, viewers should check out…

Doctaryn – Conundrum (CD)

There are a number of female singer-songwriters that are currently out on the market. Frankly, a number of them are fair to middling. However, Doctaryn is an act that boldly looks to tear down many of these conceptions and create in Conundrum one of the most intelligent and inspiring albums that we at NeuFutur have heard in the last year. Fresh instrumentation and a unique singing voice are the reason…

Hollywood FLOSS – “So Much To Say” Ft. Brian Angel

Hollywood FLOSS is back with the video for “So Much To Say,” a song that features crooner Brian Angel and serves as a recent single from his latest album, One Fan At A Time. The video, directed by Rob Jay and edited by Justin Morrow, is a dedication to his love for hip hop, complete with graffiti in the back drop and mimes acting out FLOSS’ lyrics throughout. “The ‘So…

Blackwater (Xbox 360)

I believe that Blackwater has a tremendously interesting subject. Players are placed into a role as a member of the titular organization, a private company that works to provide services to whomever they enter into a contract with. Players have to ensure that democracy is brought to the inhabitants of Harri, a fictional country. However, there are a tremendous amount of forces that wish to continue the status quo. This…

Magic the Gathering: Innistrad (Expansion)

Innistrad is the first Magic: The Gathering expansion that I have played since Tempest (1997). The additional features and darker feel to the set are the reason that I have entered back into the fold. For those players that have been away from the game for so long, there is little different from the fundamental game. Sure, there may be terms that I was not immediately familiar with, but the…

The Life and Times of Tim: The Complete Second Season (DVD Set)

The writers for The Simpsons clearly gave up any sense of relevancy years ago; Family Guy is essentially the same laugh-free joke week after week; and Fox’s new Jonah Hill-voiced series (which is so dull I can’t even be bothered to remember the name) is dead on arrival, leaving South Park as one of a few adult cartoons that still elicits a chuckle every now and then. But HBO’s brilliant…

Hillbilly Vegas – Ringo Manor (CD)

Shake It Like A Hillbilly is the first track on Ringo Manor, and it immediately showcases Hillbilly Vegas as an act that can touch upon the work of Every Mother’s Nightmare and Bon Jovi, while still having a little bit of a country twang. What results during Ringo Manor is an album that is catchy and musically sound. The energy generated during Shake It Like A Hillbilly does not diminish…

Casanova ’70 (Blu-Ray)

Mr. Bongo came out with a DVD version of Casanova ’70 (1965) for foreign audiences last year. While that version was solid enough, I feel that Lorber has really stepped their game up with this Blu-Ray release. This means that there is an absolutely lush restoration for this Mario Monicelli (Toto and the Women, Big Deal on Madonna Street) film. The flick is absolutely out there, focusing on Andrea (Mastroianni)…

Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Box Seven (DVD Set)

The amount of work that Funimation has done in making these Dragonball Z episodes into a sharp and vibrant release is absolutely amazing. The collection comprises 40 episodes of the show, with full story arcs from episodes 251 to 291. This set comprises two distinct story arcs – the Kid Buu Saga and the Fusion Saga, while containing enough ancillary twists and turns during these stories to keep viewers at…
