When it comes to the top movies of the late nineties, I believe that Boondock Saints would be high up on anyone’s list. However, Boondock Saints has not received an exhaustive Blu-Ray treatment to this point. Fox has noticed that and has released a new Blu-Ray for Boondock Saints – the Truth and Justice Edition this month.

It still boggles my mind that there is such variation in the quality of bottled water. Perhaps it is due to the lack of sturdy standards for the bottled water industry or is just a lack in quality owing to the $4/case cost of the product. However, Smartwater is able to create an impressive product while still making it available to a wide subset of the population. The vapor distillation…

With every action in eir life being required to be scheduled in advance, it only is a matter of time before eir girlfriend Robin (Essence Atkins) needs a little love.

Attack of the Killer Facts! has 320 pages of sheer insanity to it. Specifically, the author Grzymkowski has delved deep to inform eir readers about the existence of goat-sucking vampires, crazy types of food, aliens, and even how individuals have perished due to home goods. Rather than furthering urban legends, Grzymkowski has tirelessly cited information for each one of the facts.

I really like ElectroAmino, a new product from High Energy Labs. While amino acids come in a number of forms (we’ve reviewed powders and pills in the past), High Energy Labs has placed them into a chewable tablet format. Each bottle of ElectroAmino contains 120 tablets (30 servings) and can be purchased for a hair under $30. However, the value that is present in each bottle of ElectroAmino makes this…

There just seems to be an unique flair to this disc that distinguishes it from other similar sorts of releases. The tracks themselves have…

I have little doubt in my mind that Cars 2 is going to be the biggest childrens’ movie of the summer. Regardless of what is present in the movie and what tracks are used, the flick is going to go gangbusters. However, Disney has created a soundtrack that further revs up the film, and will be some part of the reason why the film will do so well. The score…
