Carnivor Beef Aminos Review

      MuscleMeds provides athletes with a set of aminos, sourced from beef, that look to decrease (or stave off) catabolization. Where many amino-containing products only provide three amino acids (typically L-Leucine, L-Valine, and L-Isolucine), Musclemeds has placed a slew of amino acids into the stew – the typical amino acid profile includes the three aforementioned amino acids alongside L-Threonine, L-Lysine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Tryptophan, L-Methionine, and L-Histidine. The supplement is…

The Exorcist 40th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray Review

The Exorcist is provided to viewers through a crystal-clear print, which contains a longer film (with deleted scenes) than was viewed during its initial theatrical run. The visual quality of the Blu-Ray print is stellar, breathing new life into each scene. I feel that the crispness and clarity of the audio contained on this release makes for a more alluring overall experience. The release comes with a miniature pamphlet written…

Kindred – The Embraced: The Complete Series DVD Review

Kindred – The Embraced: The Complete Series contains the show’s entire run of 8 episodes. Kindred – The Embrace focused on the rich White Wolf (Vampire: The Masquerade) universe, and deftly combined political intrigue with love elements. An all-star cast (Mark Frankel, Stacy Haiduk, and C. Thomas Howell) ensure that viewers will be at the edges of their seats. Five clans strive for dominance in a world in which vampires…

Met-Rx NOS Pumped Energy Bar Review

We were lucky to receive some of the Orange Creamsicle flavor of Met-Rx’s latest protein bar, NOS Pumped. Each bar contains 220 calories (45 of which come from fat), 5 grams of fat (7% RDV), 30 grams of carbohydrates, and 13 grams of protein (26% RDV). The balanced nature of the Pumped Energy Bar’s macronutrients ensures that the boost that the bar provides will be both long-lasting and functional. The…

Steelseries Apex Gaming Keyboard Review

  The durability of the keyboard ensures that players will be able to eke out years of use, no matter how hard to brutal the player’s gaming style may be. I feel that the lighting options available on the Apex provides the perfect amount of customization, while the bumps that are present on the W key make it a breeze to get back to the right finger placement. For those…

Jupiter in Velvet Screaming The Love Behind The Scars Review

Jupiter in Velvet is able to cultivate and provide listeners with an inimitable style on his latest effort, Screaming The Love Behind The Scars. So How Could They Know? Is a track that looks back into the halcyon days of late eighties rock, all while the act impresses through stellar arrangements and a production that allows each constituent element to shine. Monkey See Monkey Do is a high-energy track that…

Morrissey 25Live DVD Review

Morrissey fans are a devout bunch. Some might say fanatical, but I’ll go with adoring. Regardless there are bound to be some that have a problem with any DVD that comes out about Moz (“Why didn’t it include interviews with Morrissey?” “There were not enough up close shots of him singing!” and on, and on, and on). But this 25Live captures one of Morrissey’s most intimate concerts in recent memory,…

Last Night at the Viper Room Review

  River Phoenix was 23-years-old when he died on the sidewalk outside of the Viper Room. And given his childhood – raised in the Children of God cult, forced to panhandle in the streets of South America to feed his family, and serving as the main source of income for his parents and siblings for the rest of his short life – it’s hard to imagine a scenario where he…
