When bad songs happen to good people. The Scottish-born singer/songwriter Donovan has a slew of remarkable songs, inspired everyone from Jeff Beck to World Party (he even taught John Lennon how to finger pick on the guitar), and easily moved from folk, to pop, to jazz to psychedelic. But to many people, he is simply that guy who sang “Mello Yellow,” that acid-drenched, tie dyed novelty song that sounds exactly…
DJ-Kicks is making a solid bid for 2012 as one of the strongest years of the series so far. Following much-loved entries from Photek & Maya Jane Coles, the first DJ-Kicks of the summer comes from none other than Digitalism. Featuring a generous serving of exclusive tracks (eight in total), the mix is sure to have fans dancing all summer long. The brand new exclusive track “A New Drug” is…
Simply put, The Wicker Tree is much better than The Wicker Man. This is a messed up film, and I mean that in the best possible way. The Wicker Tree focuses on two faithful Christians (Henry Garrett and Brittania Nicol) and their trip to Scotland. Deciding to take a small amount of time in Tressock, these two have their lives turned upside down. Everything seems to be on the…
This effort by VPX may just be the best protein that we have reviewed for NeuFutur. The chocolate flavoring tastes like a liquefied chocolate bar, while its overall miscibility is unparalleled. While one typically will have to deal with protein chunks in their shaker, each drink made with VPX Protein Rush! is silky smooth. One will be able to pound these in work, at the gym, or any time that…
There has been indisputable evidence that EFA (essential fatty acids) should be added to the diet of anyone that is in the least concerned about their overall health. Max Muscle has an EFA-containing product in their Max EFA. This supplement contains Flaxseed, Wheat Germ, CLA, EPO, and Borage Seed Oils; each bottle of the Max EFA will give individuals a month’s work of supplementation. There is nothing in the…
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…
