NeuFutur Review Rewind: The Secret Machines – Ten Silver Drops

The opening of “Ten Silver Drops” coalesces the last forty years in rock music to create something that authoritatively speaks to all who listen to music. This is not just rock music, but taps on a number of different styles while doing so. This means, during a song like “Alone, Jealous, and Stoned”, segments of the track come forth in a very indie rock style, but the vocals soon after…

DAVID MEAD’S DUDES DEBUTS ON ITUNES CHART THIS WEEK

Given that David Mead recorded Dudes as a communal effort, it’s not surprising that it’s populated by character portraits, examinations and stories of, well, mostly dudes. There are spunky retirees, a CIA recruit, a befuddled lover, an armed lackwit, and on the title track – an homage to the best guy friends of all – dudes themselves. Mead, known for his wicked wit and “honeyed and compelling vocal” (Entertainment Weekly),…

Red State (DVD)

I must admit; after Clerks 2, I had not watched any of Kevin Smith’s films. I loved the View Askew universe, and I believe that my expectations of eir work as a filmmaker would mar any further titles that ey did. We were lucky enough to receive a copy of Red State from Lionsgate, and I believe after watching it that this represents Smith’s strongest film to date. The film…

Imagine It (DVD)

This documentary has an extraordinary premise – taking the problems in the world in one’s own hands – and showing exactly what can happen if an individual puts their mind to it. This documentary is hosted by former Last Comic Standing star Iliza Shlesinger , which does a tremendous job to make the feature that much more relevant. Trying to get a younger set interested in anything is a Sisyphean…

Generator Rex: Agent of Providence (Xbox 360)

There is a focus on Generator Rex: Agent of Providence for the younger set. However, I believe that the game has more than enough legs for all fans of video games, and that the experience present on Generator Rex: Agent of Providence is sufficiently fun to merit the game’s cost at retail (39.99). This is largely due to the different skills that players will be able to utilize as Rex,…

Cave Story 3D (Nintendo 3DS)

Few games have had the ability to properly engage the Nintendo 3DS. This means that there is little reason to pick up the console. However, I believe that the execution of Cave Story 3D is strong enough that it should be seen as a deciding factor for whether an individual purchases the console. Cave Story 3D is a side-scrolling shooter that will take players no time to learn, but a…
