I believe that this is the first time that we have had a gummy-flavored vodka drop in for review at NeuFutur. For those individuals that normally familiarize themselves with lower-proof offerings, be careful – this Pinnacle product (and all their flavored versions) clocks in at 70 proof. Pinnacle Gummy is able to create a very natural type of flavor that allows the grain flavor of the vodka to still be…

3 Women is one of those forgotten films that stands up perfectly today. This Robert Altman-directed and Shelley Duvall / Sissy Spacek –starred title showcases a bizarre friendship between the two leads that rapidly changes into something much more sinister. The dream-like feel to the film breask free to the narrative style employed in the vast majority of films; there seems to be a much heavier focus on the moods…

I had made a warming implement that essentially was a sock with rice inside. One could put this into the microwave for a few minutes and it would maintain its heat over the course of a few hours. However, this was pretty small and lost its heat more quickly than I would prefer. I was lucky enough to receive a Carex Bed Buddy for review in NeuFutur, and this is…
Leema Mountain is a band from Northwest New Jersey. It can also be just one guy from the same place. Since 2004, Leema Mountain has taken many names and therein lies his history. Eventually, Lima turned into a 4 piece band called Lima Research Society. Lima Research Society played hundreds of shows and went on many small tours with Math the Band (also on Slanty Shanty). They also self-released a…
Top Secret Nutrition N.O. 370 / Pre-Workout / http://www.topsecretnutrition.com Many of the pre-workout products that are on the market are able to do a basic level of work for individuals that take them – they can energize or otherwise prime someone for their physical exertion. However, Top Secret Nutrition’s N.O. 370 is a product that looks to re-cast what a pre-workout is and what it can do for the person…
I believe that the actual person that is behind the Vidal Sassoon empire has faded in the years since ey was actively changing the world of fashion. For those that do not know, Vidal Sassoon is a British hairstyler that tied architecture, art, and high fashion into specific cuts. The work that ey did 50 years ago is why Vidal Sassoon (the company) is such a large one currently –…
Martin Venville (from 44 Inch Chest) directs Henry’s Crime, which is a film with tremendous indie cred and a cast to back up this. Keanu Reeves, James Caan, and Fisher Stevens make this film into a tremendously interesting watch; Henry’s Crime is about the tension between the easy score and the honest job. Where it would be easy enough to commit one big crime – a bank heist, for example…
Sodasteam is the one product that we continually use at NeuFutur headquarters. While alcohol, workout supplements, and practically anything else that we receive for review gradually begins to gain dust, there is rarely a week that goes by that we do not use the Sodastream. The process by which individuals can make their own soda is easy – just go and fill up on of the reusable containers with water,…

It seems that a number of the different reality shows begin to show their age after the first few seasons, but that Paranormal State is able to buck that trend and keep itself fresh throughout. This ghost hunter show makes sure to ratchet up the drama, especially through the use of their cutting edge tools and night vision lighting. This DVD set captures all of the episodes from the fifth…
