Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (DVD)

Shows that are set in antiquity typically do pretty well; one just has to remember back to the 1960s just to see exactly how well Cleopatra did in theatres. This trend has continued into the current period as well; Rome and Gladiator both have or had huge fanbases. Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is a show that blends together all three of these releases, and does it in a fashion…

Captain America (DVD)

This 1992 version of Cap has been provided for the first time by MGM; individuals that wish to see how the comic was envisioned by early nineties filmmakers would do well to search out a copy of this release. The film will ultimately be seen by a wider segment of fans than it would have been; I believe that the over the top nature of the film will bring a…

Drambuie (92 Proof)

Drambuie is one of the spirits that we tried for years to get here at NeuFutur, but we were never able to firm up a contact for it. However, we were able to finally get in touch with someone and were able to receive a bottle of it for review. When we actually received the bottle of Drambuie, we were immediately shocked about how unique of a spirit it truly…

EAS Myoplex Nutrition Bar – Chocolate Peanut Bar (Protein Bar)

Out of all the protein bars that I have tested out for NeuFutur, I feel that the EAS Myoplex Nutrition Bar may just be the best that I have ever had. This is because it is so similar to normal candy bars on the market – it tasted to me as if it was a blend of Snickers and Three Musketeers. Saying that, it possesses the protein and materials that…

Moon Mountain Vodka (80 Proof)

We rarely receive straight vodkas for review in NeuFutur. This is likely because there are not many different types of plain vodka that are being added to the market. What is much more common is flavored variants of traditional vodkas (Stoli, Smirnoff); we were excited to see (and experience) what a new hand could do to the tried and true vodka format. Moon Mountain Vodka is a new product, and…

Yazi Ginger Vodka (70 Proof)

We received a ginger vodka in the mail a few months ago and were not impressed with how the company blended together the flavor with the vodka. However, we were approached to cover Yazi Ginger Vodka and thought that we would give the pairing a second shot. We are glad we did, as the Yazi represents one of the few flavored vodkas that are worth the time and money it…

FIX: THE MINISTRY MOVIE TO SCREEN AT CMJ THIS OCTOBER

Music doesn’t get any more harrowing and in-your-face insane than Ministry. Luckily for us, Doug Freel was there in 1996 when the band was at its most…well, everything… to document every moment. The good, the bad, the downright uncomfortable, very ugly and extremely fascinating. Screenings of “FIX: The Ministry Movie” have been few and far between (only a couple “friends and family” type events). The screenings announced below offer a…

Herr’s Hot Sauce Flavored Potato Chips

This is by far the most popular product that we have received for review at NeuFutur. Herr’s latest effort, their Hot Sauce Flavored Potato Chips, is simply amazing. While we usually focus on the health side of things, sometimes it is nice to just pig out. It seems as if the hot sauce or hot element that is used to flavor things typically is a no-name brand, but Herr’s has…

Vocalist Heather Ramsey Lets the Music Flow in Peace Like a River

Her soulful vocal style and poignant interpretations of holiday classics are a reflection of her diverse influences in music. Renowned pianist, arranger, composer and author Dr. Monika Herzig adds her unique spin to these festive tunes to showcase Ramsey’s ability to sing many styles. Ramsey draws some of her influence on this album from the beloved holiday music of The Carpenters. “I’ll admit it, I’m a huge Karen Carpenter fan,…

Remy V (Brandy)

Remy Martin is a very forward type of company. In fact, by releasing this clear product, I have little doubt in my mind that all of the other cognac producers will be following Remy’s lead in the years to come. The Remy V is a clear spirit distilled from grapes, and is filtered through a cold line to be given its unique flair. The Remy V is also distinct from…
