The release of this three and a half hour special on gospel singer Mahalia Jackson is vitally needed. As Jackson passed on in 1972, each year that passes ensures that that many more individuals never saw eir perform or otherwise were graced with eir skill. “A Gospel Calling” is a video that may be long for some, but should be required watching for anyone studying African-American or gospel history.
British Steel is for many the quintessential Judas Priest album, despite being their sixth studio album, recorded a full 11 years after the band was founded. This is due to a number of features, primary of which has to be the band’s output. “Rapid Fire”, the track’s first salvo, is exactly that – those listeners that originally stuck the needle on their new vinyl copy back in 1980 would have…
Penn & Teller have been a comedic powerhouse for well over twenty years by this point, and their show, Bullshit!, has been on the air since 2003. Where some of the earliest episodes seemed to have the duo provide the pros and (many) cons of major issues such as alien abductions, second hand smoke, and feng shui, the seventh season seems to focus on a little bit more specific of…
A Mind To Kill is a show that I’ve been curious about for a while now; off the top of my head, it is one of the few shows that ran for as long as it did to not receive an American DVD release. Acorn Media has taken the first step to engendering a love for the show in American audiences by the releasing of the first season’s DVD set.…
I know that we are only a few minutes away from the end of the night, but I thought that we here at NeuFutur would have a little bit of the Cinco De Mayo spirit. We have been holding back on covering Pa’Qui (Aztec for “to be happy”) for a while now, not only because it is such a beautifully-covered tequila but also because it is one of the most…
It seems as the years pass on a video game franchise, that there is always a tendency to begin to let inertia take over and for subsequent releases to merely rehash what was revolutionary years ago. While the Splinter Cell line never got to that point, Ubisoft has allowed the developers to take Sam Fisher’s story in a drastically different way. Where there was a decidedly stealth-heavy component in previous…
After we opened up the beer side of the alcohol review section, I found myself in a serious quandary. We were receiving some seriously full-body beers, and were not getting too much in the way of more mild or properly seasonal types of efforts. The Summerbright beer is the perfect middle ground between these tremendously deep and full-bodied beers and the more familiar, macro styles of portable bread. Saying that,…
EA Sports’ latest efforts in the soccer realm may just be the best in-genre that I have ever played. Instead of being a reskin of FIFA 10, there are a number of serious steps taken with this title. The amount of uniqueness brought forth soccer sims by this title is simply stellar, as individuals can expect to play as any one of nearly 200 different national teams. Furthermore, the inclusion…
