Angel’s Crest is a movie that has been ripped from the headlines; it focuses on a town’s desire to find a lost child. The film begins with Ethan (Thomas Dekkar) and his three-year old child playing; the children is missing after playing in the snow. This initial act leads to the different motivations and character developments that are found in the film. Everything begins to unravel for the father…
This film is a perfect film to watch in a youth group or other Christian praise organization. This is because it contains a solid moral base while pushing viewers towards properly restoring their relationship with Jesus. This is not what one expects from Christian movies – the cast and crew give it their all. One can tell that they believe in this movie, and I believe that this is…
Animeigo has placed together the five Shogun Assassin films in a Blu-Ray set, ensuring that the films have been restored to their original levels. The clarity of each of these films is utterly fantastic; this is perhaps the cleanest that anyone has seen these films since they were originally in theatres. Aside from these films, Animeigo have added a number of features to the mix. There is an interview conducted…
We have not had the chance to play much of the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG up to this point. We were lucky enough to receive a booster box of the game’s latest expansion, Galactic Overlord. The expansion invigorates and expands upon the game. While players had a chance to check out the game at the Sneak Peek Saturday last weekend, I feel that further explanation of the set is necessary. There…
The sheer action that is present in this title is astonishing, and it matches perfectly the bleeding-edge graphics that will cause a player’s television to struggle. The different side quests and main storyline will provide players with a good twenty hours of gameplay, while one can honestly feel as if they are Heller. The different weapons available to players have been properly differentiated – this is not a gun…
The type of punk rock that the CONVALESCENTS play is insane; the energy brought to listeners with the opening strains of Scratch Scratch is reminiscent of 1039-era Green Day and Bad Religion. The tightness of the band is made more visible through a solid overall production. This production ensures that each part of the band is able to shine, be it vocals, drums, or guitars. The band is able…
Thanks to the new Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movie, the late 60’s/early 70’s vampire soap Dark Shadows is finally getting some much needed mainstream pop culture love. Granted there have been some diehard fans over the past few decades, but the proto-goth TV series has never had the opportunity to reach such a wide audience before now (despite some unfortunate reboots of the series). So it makes perfect sense that the…
Steelseries has one of the best mice that we’ve reviewed in NeuFutur. It is based off of the Xai, and provides gamers with a number of fixes over the original. The mouse is designed to be beat to hell; no amount of hard-core gaming will even put a dent into the mouse. The finish on the top side can easily be wiped off, while the programming aspect of the…

This drama will play on viewers’ heartstrings. It is not just the roles turned in by Vanessa Williams, Rolanda Watts, or Amenha Dymally, but rather the sheer applicability of the events in the film to viewers’ lives. I believe that anyone that has been hurt in their life will be able to identify with Regina (Watts). Regina has to deal with a drug-addled daughter (Monica, played by Salina Duplessis), a…
Ottoman Palace starts out Mediterranean, and the track allows Amberfern to create a bold sounding title. The track kicks into high gear at about the 50 second mark, providing listeners with a brief glimpse of the hustle and bustle of a marketplace. Moving from that, there is still a quick tempo and motivated feel to this introductory track. Moving into Es Grau, Amberfern shifts the album’s paradigm considerably; the song…
David Simon and Eric Overmyer – best known for HBO’s The Wire – were under tremendous pressure to follow up that critical darling with their second HBO outing: Treme. Despite the obvious moans about it being too different from The Wire, the Post-Katrina take on the locals trying to go about life in New Orleans was one of the best things on TV when it debuted two years ago. Proving…
This is a title that comprises both Deadliest Warrior: The Game and Deadliest Warrior: Legends. This represents a physical version of the two aforementioned titles, which were previously only available for gamers through their respective online marketplaces. To further add value to this video game, Spike has added a number of Deadliest Warrior episodes. The title itself does a great job in showcasing the “what-if” scenarios that fuel Deadliest Warrior;…
A little backstory: Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a film that was based off of a 1956 radio drama by Eugene O’Neill. This play was presented in a number of productions; Laurence Olivier took a turn at it in the National Theatre’s run in 1971. This film is an adaptation of the National Theatre’s version, and seems to have a little better quality of actors (the aforementioned Olivier, Denis…
Lionsgate has included three features in this movie pack: Doctor Strange, The Invincible Iron Man, and Planet Hulk. These releases are as clean and as sharp as they were in their original releases, but they have been bundled into a Blu-Ray pack for a cheaper price ($19.99, but can be found cheaper on online retailers). These movies showcase both the larger and smaller characters in the Marvel Universe. While everyone…
There is no denying how popular Elmo is o the audiences that watch eir. However, I feel that the increasing focus of Sesame Street on this character has made the show into a substantively different beast that it was when I was watching. That is neither good nor bad; I feel that the presence of Elmo allows for the younger set to understand and properly receive different messages and morals,…
This 1993 footage (recorded in Belgium at the Peer Blues Festival) looks absolutely stunning. The amount of work that Eagle Rock has done to this source is astounding, with a crispness present that rivals even Blu-Ray releases. Fans of the Jeff Healey Band will hear all of the act’s hits, whether it be taken from Feel This, See The Light and Hell to Play. Purchasers will be happy to hear…
We have not had much chance to review board games at NeuFutur, but received a copy of the newest addition to the Forgotten Realms line. Lords of Waterdeep is a board game, requiring 2 to 5 (ideally requiring the upper bounds of that range) players. The intricacies of the Lords of Waterdeep title are precisely the reason why this game will get considerably more play than other games in…
The Dandy Warhols have been around since 1994. Despite closing in on their twentieth year as a band, I feel that the band has been able to continually innovate. The 11 tracks on This Machine allow the band to continue with the sound that has been such a hallmark, but adds considerably to the overall paintbrush that the band can use. Sad vacation opens up the title, providing listeners…
The importance that Ernie Kovacs had on modern comedy is incredible. While eir early death made it harder to understand eir true role in current come, I feel that the variety of specials that are captured here should showcase the sheer impact that ey had on the art form. Shout Factory has found some solid versions of these specials, which do not possess the same graininess or audio problems…
