I feel that a great number of the microbreweries that are currently in operation make beer that is ultimately forgettable. However, there are a few intrepid breweries that are able to push forward and create unique beers that should be checked out. Yards Brewing Company has done just that in their Philadelphia Pale Ale. There is a nuanced taste to the beer that will be tremendously compelling to those that…
Today marks the first official day of fall, but The Cinema Twin’s Zollie Maynard and Jason Chimonides offer us a final summer hurrrah before we get out our sweaters and look to the changing colors… Their breezy new single “C’mon Today,” the first to feature both bandmates singing, evokes nostalgic sonic landscapes and showcases their influences – like early R.E.M, The Smiths and RIDE with an approach that is both…

Spice + Wolf is an anime that looks to break free from some of the different trends and topics that are commonplace in the genre. By doing this, the show moves from something simply good to a must see. While the happenings in the show are larger than life, there is a sense that what happens to Craft and Holo could have conceivably happened at some point in history. The…

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…
