Superjail Season 2 (DVD)

The first season of Superjail may just be the best that Adult Swim has ever played. The trippy visuals, utterly bizarre stories, and insanely catchy theme music unite to create an experience that is unforgettable. After a few years, the second season of Superjail finally aired. I believe that the themes and overall feeling generated by this first season is ratcheted up further with the second. The time dilation that…

Scivation Whey Review

Scivation has been on a tear as of late. Whether it be their pre-workout Novem or their intraworkout Xtend, their products represent the highest quality. Late last year, they released their Whey Protein in vanilla and chocolate. While the amount of proteins on the market are numerous, I believe that Scivation’s effort is one that is different. The miscibility of the product is some of the best that we have…

WWJD II: The Woodcarver (DVD)

The overall presence of Christian films is the praise of Jesus or the teaching of specific morals. I believe that WWJD II fulfills both of these goals. However, this film does what most Christian cinema is unable to do – it entertains as it inspires. This is due to the smart direction of Terry Ingram just as much as it is the stars that grace this film. John Ratzenberger (Ernest…

Joe Cocker – Hard Knocks (CD)

Joe Cocker has one of the most unique voices in rock music. Hard Knocks is an extremely personal tale, and the overall album showcases all sides of the veteran performer. Whether it is showing off a fondness for precursor genres like blues and jazz or boldly forging through in new directions, Cocker ensures that listeners will not be bored. The set of musicians tapped to lay down hooks, drum lines,…

Game of Thrones – The Complete First Season (DVD)

Who would have imagined that a drama set in a medieval fantasy world would have any appeal beyond the Lord of the Rings obsessive’s and those guys playing Magic in the back of the comic book store. Based on a series of fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin, the series, quite possible the best thing to come out of HBO in over a decade (and yes, I know about The…

Newcastle Winter Ale (Beer)

Newcastle’s unique flavor is something that has to be present in any seasonal effects from the brewery. This IPA variant is able to build off of this unique mantra and provide imbibers with an experience that is unparalleled. Newcastle has provided individuals with a blend of Super Styrian and Styrian Goldings hops. This has the effect of inserting a little bite to the subtle smoothness that exists. This is assertive…

Nine Nation Animation (DVD)

There are a number of different animation traditions to be had I the world, and I believe that those living in the United States have largely been limited to a select few of these (domestic animation and Japanese anime, for example). New Yorker Films has picked a number of the strongest representations of these different animation styles, and has placed them in an easy to view format. While there…

No Subtitles Necessary (DVD)

It is important to know humanity’s history, and although the Soviet Union has not been a force for nearly 20 years, the stories that individuals have about the former behemoth are legion. Laszlo (Kovacs) and Vilmos (Zsigmond) are able to provide their story, one that parallels that of countless other individuals under the Soviet regime. While the United States put forth its own propaganda as part of the Cold War,…

Act Thirt33n – Salute and Smile EP (CD)

Shine is an immediate introduction to the band, and it will be what keeps one listening in. This is due to the fact that the band is able to fully insert themselves into this track. This emotive rock contains high energy and smart musicianship. While the genre seemed to be on its last legs a few years back, Act Thirt33n may single-handedly promote its revival. One need only listen to…

Defending the Realm – The Battle of Britain (DVD)

I believe the most interesting thing about war is how different battles and events are construed by other cultures. While the Battle of Britain was an important battle no matter where one sat in World War II, I feel that it is much more important in the eyes of individuals that were directly impacted. This documentary does well in describing the importance of the battle to American viewers, while keeping…

Orly – Orly (CD)

My Oh My is a track that spreads out over a number of different genres. There are hints of country, Broadway musicals, and the up-front vocals will draw listeners’ attention. The eclectic opening to Orly leads into Boy On A Hill. This track is more introspective and pensive; the pre-grunge created by Neil Young has a referent in the overall tack the song takes. The harmony between the instrumentation and…

A Town Like Alice (DVD)

A Town Like Alice was originally a book by Nevil Shute (On The Beach). VCI’s version of the film is the stellar 1956 release, and the company has provided viewers with an incredibly clean and sharp print. The film is particularly interesting as it provides viewers with a sense of an independent woman’s life during World War II. Recently moved to Australia, Jean Paget is provided a chance to move…

Metal Shifters (Blu-Ray)

Metal Shifters is an incredible film. The plotline is something that has not been done before – a mysterious satellite starts to impact the city of Redeemer, Idaho. What seemed to be nothing more than a bit of scrap starts to take over various living creatures and turns them into metal. This becomes a problem when the satellite gains some form of sentience. Whether the city is able to…

KHX1333C7D3K2 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 Ram

We were able to test out DDR3 RAM from Kingston. The KHX1333C7D3K2 is a value-priced RAM (around $25-45) that will provide individuals’ computing needs for a lengthy cycle. Installation of the RAM is simple, and will seat properly onto whichever motherboard one may be running in their build. The 2X2 (4GB) pairing is coupled with low latency (7-7-7-20), ensuring rapid retrieval of information and an across-the-board decrease in loading…

The Jazz Singer (DVD)

This is an incredibly rare recording. This version of the Jazz Singer features Jerry Lewis, and the recording is taken directly from the legend’s video vault. One has to remember that this recording was done in 1959, which precludes the existence of home-based VHS recorders. The fact that this recording still exists is particularly impressive, as a number of the television stations that received these performances recorded over these…

One Model Nation – Totalwerks [1969-1977] (CD)

Before understanding that this is a side project of Dandy Warhols’ Taylor-Taylor, I originally thought The End Records had picked up a collection of rare tracks from the late modern period. While this is ultimately not true, One Model Nation is an act that calls back to the rich German musical tradition. This means that the band takes on Can, Kraftwerk, and even later acts like Joy Division during…

Many online retailers have Bizarre Foods Collection 5 Part 2 available for under $20. With ten hours of footage present, this makes the cost per hour at about $2. This should make Bizarre Foods Collection 5 Part 2 a must buy for any fan of Andrew Zimmern. Continue to check out Bizarre Foods; the current season has Zimmern focusing on all the crazy foods that have made the United States…

Weeds – Season Seven (DVD)

Weeds – the Showtime comic/drama about a widowed suburban mom who turns to drug dealing to make money – has always been a victim of its own success. The first couple of seasons were remarkably fresh, with quirky supporting characters and even quirkier plot points then it ran into a wall trying to one-up the original premise. Drug dealing led to smuggling and then marrying a corrupt Mexican mayor/cartel leader,…

Noctua NF-P12 PWM (Fan) Review

There is a lot of noise that is typically generated at the 120mm mark on fans. I believe that many individuals have the bottom of the barrel in their computer, which leads to a great amount of the noise that is typically heard. However, Noctua has a solution to this problem. Their NF-P12 PWM kit provides computer builders with strong air displacement and an incredibly small increase in noise from…
