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. The spirit has a solid…

Premier Protein Shake

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…

ATH-WS55 (Headphones)

Having a pair of ATH-WS55 headphones is like having a receiver and a sound system all in one. This is due to the extreme care that Audio Technica has taken in creating a balanced effort in this product. While the bass comes through with an assertive thump, the sheer amount of frequencies that can be reproduced ensures that listeners get the entire picture. The slider allows a proper fit, no…

Last Kung Fu Monk (DVD)

The amount of kung fu and other similar types of action movies that have came out in the last few years is at a number that is much lower than during the genre’s heyday (1960s-1980s). The quality of these films have dipped slightly, but there is a solid flick in Last Kung Fu Monk. Screen Media Films has released this title to United States audiences, which focuses on the trials…
