Carmel (DVD)

This is Amos Gitai’s magnum opus. The film is an intricate look into the filmmaker and into Israel; the two entities have many things in common. The disconnect between Israel and the United States is shown well here, with the ancient tied together with the ultra-modern. Gitai’s work in imbuing eir home country with a human vitality will foster an increased level of interest for many in Israel. However, Carmel…

Luke Bryan – Tailgates & Tanlines (CD)

There have been two distinct forms of country music that have been splitting apart over the course of the last 15 or 20 years. While the line between pop and country has been blurred by a great many of the current wave of country artists, there are still a number of practitioners of the older country and western style. Of current artists, there are not many that attempt to join…

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Raw Food Detox (Book)

The amount of different reasons to try the raw food diet are legion – whether it be a number of famous figures extolling the diet’s virtues or from an individual’s concern about their lifestyle, there are some good reasons why individuals check out this diet.

Gerber Fit (Multitool)

There are a number of different multi-use tools that are currently on the market. However, the Gerber Fit is one of the best. This is due to its quality, number of tools, and sheer versatility. Where I believe that other multi-tools on the market are a little on the flimsy side, the Gerber Fit’s screwdriver, tweezers, scissors, pick, and knife all are constructed of thick metal. This ensures that no…

Marley’s Mellow Mood Lite (Drink)

Marley’s Mellow Mood is a beverage that is rare to find. Where there are a number of different products that are on the market that contain a similar constellation of compounds to Marley’s Mellow Mood, all of them just disappoint in the taste department. Furthermore, these drinks all have a high amount of calories and carbohydrates. Marley’s Mellow Mood avoids both of these icebergs and comes out with one of…

SciVation Dialene 4X (Fat Burning)

The amount of different diet and fat burning pills that are present at any one time on the fitness market will confuse anyone, and the differential effects that each have makes it hard to truly find the right supplement. However, I believe that SciVation’s Dialene 4X is one of the few fat burning pills that work, and will work no matter one’s age, level of health, or strictness of diet.…

Hesher (Blu-Ray)

Metal movies always become cult movies, but some of them are pretty poor. However, Hesher is a film that would gain a cult status no matter what sub-groups followed it. This is because the storytelling and the acting with bring viewers in, while the crisp presentation of the Blu-Ray here will have them agog at what they see on their TV. For those that are unfamiliar with the film, Hesher…

Mimi Goese and Ben Neill – Songs For Persephone (CD)

The interplay that is created by Goese and Neill on their Songs For Persephone ensures that the CD will remain in a purchaser’s player for months to come. This is not noticed only in the instrumental side of things, but also through the whole effort that follows from the disc’s initial track, Roma. The stylistic choices that are made during Songs For Persephone are nothing less than inspired; blending together…

360 Concord Grape Vodka

360 Concord Grape Vodka is one of the first vodkas that we have received that looks to go beyond a simple grape designation and move into specific varietals of the fruit. What results in the 360 Concord Grape Vodka is something that is fresh and interesting tasting, all while providing imbibers with the same high quality that has been present in all 360 Vodka efforts.

We’ve had the Premier Protein Shakes on our shelves for a few weeks, largely because our reviewer was a mite bit afraid of the Strawberry flavor. However, ey bravely forged through and was rewarded with one of the best ready-made protein drinks that ey has had as a NeuFutur reviewer. Essentially, all one needs to do to make the Premier Protein Shake possess the best possible taste is just to…

Indie-roots band, Sassparilla celebrates release of THE DARNDEST THING

Referred to as indie-roots, punk-Americana, and punk-roots, Portland, Oregon-based outfit Sassparilla may bend and cross genres, but the result is always electrifying, especially on their latest, The Darndest Thing. Comprised of Kevin “Gus” Blackwell (vocals, cigar box guitar, national resonator guitar), the father and son combo of Ross “Dagger” Macdonald (harmonica) and Colin “Sweet Pea” Macdonald (washtub bass), Naima (vocals, accordian, washboard), and Justin Burkhart (drums), Sassparilla offers one of…

Pentax Optio RS1500 (Camera)

I believe that the Pentax Optio RS1500 is a smart buy for anyone save for professional photographers. While there are features like the removable faceplate that will appease the fashion-conscious, I believe that the camera itself contains more than enough functionality to keep it competitive over the course of the next few years. For those that wish to use their camera for multiple functions, the style of video that is…
