Hugo Weaving may just be the most versatile actor currently in Hollywood today. In The Boxer and The Bombshell, Weaving is a mobster that has control of a seedy underground set of businesses during the interwar years (teens/twenties). Paired alongside Matt le Nevez and Rose Byrne, Weaving is able to lead the film to a surprising compelling tenor. However, it is not only the performances that are turned in by…
House of Suh is a fascinating film. This title marks the first foray into film by Iris Shim; ey captures the horrific events that took place in September of 1993, where a brother and sister combination planned out the murder of the sister’s significant other. The film starts out with a description of the generations between Andrew and Catherine While the events that are covered with the title are a…
There are so many protein bars that are currently on the market that it seems almost impossible to come up with the best for one’s dietary needs and restrictions. However, FortiFX has came strong out of the gate and I am confident that the product is gram for gram the best protein bar currently available for purchase. The FortiFX bar comes in three different flavors – Chocolate Deluxe, Peanut Butter…
Jack Yarber has pretty much done it all. Ey has spent tours in The Compulsive Gamblers, Jack O and the Tennessee Tearjerkers and The Oblivians. Rat City drops all the extra musicians and hangers-on and showcases Oblivian at eir most honest. What results with Rat City is a tremendously touching and emotionally intense album, with tracks that run the range of styles and feelings that listeners have came to expect…
We have reviewed singular clothing products in NeuFutur in the past, but I believe that Mountain Khakis has provided an amazing outfit for the autumn and winter months. This outfit combines the W’s Guru Organic Full-Zip Hoodie and W’s Cottonwood Cord Pant; both of these products have a contemporary but not overly flashy look. This translates well to whichever event one finds themselves in; our reviewer was able to rock…

On November 14, Iestyn Davies – named 2010’s Royal Philharmonic Young Artist of the Year – makes his house and role debuts at the Metropolitan Opera, singing Unulfo in Handel’s Rodelinda. This is an important milestone, not only for the singer but also for the company: the occasion marks the first time in the Met’s 131-year history that a British countertenor will have graced its stage. What makes this all…
Reviewer note: We received this sample from Swanson directly for review, gratis. There are a number of different sleep aids on the market. While they usually contain the same constellation of vitamins, minerals, and other materials, Swanson has done their work and made a supplement that combines all the different schools of thought about increasing an individual’s ability to sleep. This means that Sleep Essentials has Valerian, Chamomile, Hops, L-Taurine,…

There are a number of healthy uses for a deep fryer. As long as one has put it to the right temperature, the oil will cook – not soak into – whatever one places into it. While the first thing we tried in it was deep-fried Oreos, Kalorik has provided a number of temperatures for vegetables, delicacies, and anything else edible that one can think of. The pot (which contains…

The Kesho MJ in Taupe is the perfect autumn shoe. This is for many reasons; the color is a muted, lighter shade of brown that pops among the foliage, the unique MBT design ensures the highest amount of comfort, and the open top showcases a woman’s foot perfectly. The shoe’s versatility cannot be challenged – no matter whether the wearer is dressed up for dinner at a fancy restaurant or…

For those with bleeding-edge video systems, the 1080p…

In celebration a handful of career-spanning “Evening with the Walkmen” shows have been scheduled including January…
We here at NeuFutur have covered a number of pieces of clothing, and we have looked into the benefits that a number of sporting goods have provided to individuals. However, we have not as of yet provided any coverage of socks. I believe that the socks that an individual chooses to wear has a tremendous effect on one’s well being, something that is considerably changed after a work out or…
Mya Communciation has been releasing rare and otherwise out of print titles for a decent while now, but we have not as of yet been lucky enough to review any of their titles. We received a DVD copy of 1974’s giallo classic Death Will Have Your Eyes, and are pleased to report that it utterly vanquishes all of the DVD bootlegs that have been flooding the market over the last…
