The Pink Panther 2 did surprisingly well at the box office in my opinion, and MGM has attempted to really capture the same spark with their Blu-Ray release of the title. In this sequel to the 2006 re-start of the series, Inspector Clouseau (Steve Martin) has to join forces with a number of the world’s best detectives. The cast of this film blends old hands (Lily Tomlin, John Cleese, Jeremy…
For those that did not watch it when it first aired, Princess Protection Program was a made for television movie that Disney crafted, utilizing the talents of Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place) and Demi Lovato (Camp Rock). The movie centers around trying to find safety for Princess Rosalinda (Lovato), who is the rightful heir to the throne in Costa Luna. Instead of taking this throne, a usurper takes power…
Gin seems to be one of those spirits that does not get too much in the way of love. I cannot count how many individuals turn down the chance to have a gin drink just because they think that the spirit tasters like pine trees. I’m sure that some (very) low-quality gins may only have the juniper taste present, but many of the different higher-shelf releases have a much more…
The Conduit may just upend Goldeneye as my favorite first-person shooter. This Sega-released title is one that truly pushes the Wii to its breaking point, both in regard to the graphics and the audio quality. Furthermore, the control scheme that has been mapped to the Wiimote is nothing short of amazing, establishing an intuitive way to control one’s character. The ability to further customize the control scheme allows players to…

I had no clue before looking at the promotional one-sheet that Luke Donald was a golfer. Terlato Wine has entered into an agreement with Donald to brand a number of their efforts with eir name, and we received a bottle of the 2007 Chardonnay for review. After draining this bottle, we learned two things. First, the heaviness of the glass used to bottle this wine is such that one could…
“Dr Jekyll†is a perfect track. I had not heard of Naree before receiving a copy of their “Jekyll & Hyde†disc for review, but after hearing this song, I am hooked. The style of music that this female-led act puts out is something that moves between alternative rock, pop, and even punk at points. This means that lead singer Naree simultaneously sounds like Avril Lavigne, Natalie Imbruglia, and Hayley…
“Krazy†is a bit of strong guitar-driven rock-infused music that takes on all genres and musical styles equally. This means that there are hints of hard rock and even alternative placed alongside the dominant rock/country mélange that first hits listeners. “Krazy†is destined for radio rotation; with high energy and Young following on a musical tradition that goes all the way back to Cat Stevens and Jackson Browne, the track…
What The Swamphouse do on “The Fade†is create a completely unique style of music that will have listeners’ turning their heads when the first notes of “The Fade†come on. “Break Down†ties together funk, soul, and rap into something that really stretches over the course of the last thirty years in music. The flow that is achieved during the track is tight as all get out, providing an…
This is one dark tequila. This is due to the fact that the spirit has been aged in oak barrels in much the same way as whiskey, imbuing all aspects of the Black Medallion with a smoky timbre that sets it off from all other tequilas on the market. The first experience beyond simply seeing the Jose Cuervo Black Medallion will be when one cracks open the bottle; the earthy,…
It has been nearly a decade since Capitol Records released what individuals still hold up as one of the best collections of Sinatra’s music specifically, and of how to create a definitive collection generally. The current leaders at Capitol are trying their hands at capturing lightning in a bottle twice. First off, all the songs that are on “Classic Sinatra II†have been digitally mastered, no matter whether they are…
Don Simon is the first wine that we have gotten for review that has been in a normal, recyclable plastic bottle. It is also Spain’s highest selling wine. The first thing that should be said is that the wine’s flavor has not been modified in the slightest; there is not a plastic or similar flavor profile present in each bottle. Of course, there needs to be some discussion of the…
Ted Nugent has shown eirself to really be a renaissance person, whether it be through eir radio show or through eir voluminous music career. While “Motor City Mayhem†may not show bits and pieces of eir radio show, I feel that Nugent’s tremendous charisma comes through on this release. This is due to the fact that Eagle Rock has crafted one of the best live recordings that I have ever…
While there seems to be some sort of stigma regarding different types of “educational†television content, I have a feeling that the presentation of Frontline’s Poisoned Waters will be enough to keep viewers on the edge of their seats throughout the entirety of the show’s runtime. The release details how exactly the work that was done in the years immediately preceding and following the Clean Water Act have not really…
I have never been a big fan of watching golf, but the games that have been released in the Tiger Woods PGA line have been something special. The amount of specificity that is present in this title, and especially the latest title, are far beyond compare both in regards to golf and general sports titles. Where a number of the different sports titles only make minor changes in-between the different…
“Misunderstood†showcases a strong female presence on the vocals, allowing for a blending of country, alternative, and pop music. This means that “Misunderstood†is a track that all can appreciate, and it is done with a skill that will ensure that listeners stick with the disc throughout all ten tracks. Valerie Nicole can literally go anywhere with “Naïveâ€, “From The Heartâ€â€™s second track, and settles into a unique sound that…
It may have taken Capcom 15 months to properly modify and translate Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, but the wait that players have had since the title first came out in Japan was well worth it. This Sony PSP title begins by building off of the framework that Monster Hunter Freedom 2 laid down, by introducing countless new monsters, missions, and equipables. Other minor (but still important) changes to the…
Ghostbusters was one of the first films that I remember watching. I have no doubt that this was after its original theatrical release, as I would have been 1 when the film was first released. Regardless of that, it remains as one of my favorite movies of all-time. This Blu-Ray edition shows me exactly how seeing it in its theatrical run must have been like originally; the clarity of the…
The premise for this comic is that three different writers/comic-creators live in the same-numbered apartment, and this commonality is what brought them together to create this comic-zine. The issue itself goes by incredibly fast; the different stories (laid down here by Josh Blair, Pete Borrebach and Noah Van Sciver) are accompanied by radically different art styles.
We here at NeuFutur HQ received a bottle of the “Grand Cosmopolitan†cocktail a few weeks back, and just finally had a chance to go and give it the coverage that it rightfully deserves. For those individuals that have no clue what a Cosmopolitan actually is, it blends together vodka, Grand Marnier, and cranberry juice (some other iterations include lime juice). This 30 proof drink really shines when it is…
