Sid & Nancy: Collector’s Edition (Blu-Ray Disc)

The amount of care that MGM put into this version of Sid & Nancy makes it into one of the best Collector’s Editions / reissues that we have reviewed for NeuFutur. The grim, gritty feeling of the movie is restored to its original film quality, while the soundtrack feels much more visceral and in your face than it did on either VHS or DVD formats of the film. For individuals…

Howler – America Give Up (CD)

Fans of Total Babe will likely know about guitarist Gatesmith’s new act, Howler. However, I feel that Howler as a whole surpasses in quality Total Babe, while breaking eirself free of the former trappings. America Give Up is one of the first good albums of 2012, and it is due to this free and expansive sound. The album opens up with Beach Sluts, a track that will immediately introducer listeners…

However, this does not mean that love films are always good. The Chateau Meroux is good, and will have viewers eagerly anticipating what happens to Marla Sokoloff’s main character. This character is given a vineyard by eir…

Lamb of God – Resolution (CD)

We have reviewed a number of Lamb of God albums on NeuFutur. In the same vein, we have given extensive coverage to the various types of metal. The one thing that we have noticed over the last 13 years of covering these acts is that metal seems particularly prone for bands to come forth with an unique sound and then run it into the ground. Lamb of God is one…

Blackthorn (Blu-Ray & DVD)

The Western as a genre has never recovered from the precipitous decline experienced by the seventies and eighties. I believe that most of the viewing audience has been burnt by films in the genre, which tend to be rote recreations of better titles. Blackthorn, starring Sam Shepard, Stephen Rea, and Eduardo Noreiga, is one of the films that looks to restore the Western to its former glory. The title focuses…

The band is able to establish their own unique style of metal by taking bits and pieces from some of the biggest acts (Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Anthrax) and inserting their own flavor and flair. The band flips the album format on its head. Rather than…
