Samuel Adams Alpine Spring

It is hard for a beer company to continually innovate. This is made all the more difficult when it feels that may beer companies are utterly complacent with the beers that they are currently releasing. Samuel Adams is one of the few breweries that are actively changing their efforts in a meaningful way, and this is a great amount of the reason why I find myself picking up a sixer…

Punishment Nutrition Muscle Fusion (Chocolate)

It has been a while since we have been surprised by a new workout supplement company. It seems that many of these companies do little more than ape a product that is currently on the market without adding anything new or interesting to the mix. Muscle Fusion is one of Punishment’s mainline products, and it is marketed at a price point ($60) that keeps it well within the budgets of…

Levi – Vintage Flare in Riviera Jeans

The sheer quality in Levi’s Flare Jeans should be more important to potential purchasers than what the company’s name represents. These are jeans that will stick around an individual’s collection for years to come, even if they tend to put them through the ringer. The style of the Flare jeans is such that individuals of all ages will be able to successfully match them with the rest of an outfit.…

Dry Erase Ultra-Calming Face Cream

This is perhaps one of the best lotions that we have been able to review at NeuFutur. The cost of the Dry Erase Cream is only $38, which puts it toward the lower end of luxury. The amount of product that is needed to properly cover a patch of skin is incredibly small, which will allow purchasers to make a bottle of the cream stretch out for months. Check out…

NeverDead (Xbox 360)

Konami has created this game with the comic fan in mind. There is no sense that the character that you play can actually die – one can go through the proverbial woodchipper and still live to tell the tale. Bryce, the demon hunter that players are tasked to use, is someone that makes eir livelihood through the killing of demons. Bryce has to stop a massive demon attack that could…

Dragon Age: Redemption (DVD)

Dragon Age is one of the world’s largest RPG franchises, so it makes a lot of sense that there would be efforts to immortalize the game on celluloid. Dragon Age: Redemption is a title that draws considerably from the game’s mythos, but from traditional fantasy and tales of yore. Felicia Day (from The Guild) is the focal point of Redemption, an episodic tale that is presented in a serial format.…

Justin Timberlake looks to make eir triumphant return to the silver screen with In Time, and shares equal time with Amanda Siefried. The film focuses on a future in which no one is forced to get old; they can pay to stick around the world. The movie focuses on Timberlake’s character coming upon a surplus of time, even as eir mother has passed on. A chase sweeps up all the…

VPX Friction / Pre-workout Review

Without getting too much into the nuts and bolts of running a magazine, one has to contact the relevant individual at a company with a coverage pitch. Some companies respond immediately, while one has to show their worth to other companies. We’re pleased to report that we received VPX’s pre-workout Friction for review, and that it’s quality showcases why VPX is head and shoulders above other supplement companies. The Exotic…

TNA: Bound for Glory 2011 (DVD)

It has been a while since we last reviewed a wrestling release. What better product could we receive to mark the re-opening of the wrestling reviews section? TNA (Impact Wrestling) puts on one of their historically best PPVs, and the 2011 edition of the show is no different. The show united some of wrestling’s biggest stars (Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Sting, and Hulk Hogan) with those talents that will…

Drive (DVD)

The sharpness of Drive’s print, even on the DVD format, showcases the amount of care that Sony has taken in transferring this onto a home video format. For viewers that wish to get more information about Drive, the included featurettes showcase the intense cars that are used (Under the Hood), the difficulty in the different stunts (Driver and Irene), and an in-depth look at Drive’s producer (Nicolas Winding Refn). Drive…

Lyle Lovett – Release Me (CD)

Lyle Lovett has finally hit that point in his career where he can turn in a covers album and not be accused of simply fulfilling a contract agreement or tossing out a record as a desperate last grab for relevancy or to make the next mortgage payment (I’m looking at you Rod Stewart). Ok, so the fact that this is his last record for longtime label Curb may have just…

GoPicnic Ready-to-Eat Meals

Many of the professionals that are currently making large decisions for companies grew up on Lunchables. If they have not, there is a good chance that they have had to deal with airline food. GoPicnic is a company that looks to sate both sets of individuals. By making a wide array of different meals, the company is able to give those too busy for a proper meal something that is…

Sid & Nancy: Collector’s Edition (Blu-Ray Disc)

The amount of care that MGM put into this version of Sid & Nancy makes it into one of the best Collector’s Editions / reissues that we have reviewed for NeuFutur. The grim, gritty feeling of the movie is restored to its original film quality, while the soundtrack feels much more visceral and in your face than it did on either VHS or DVD formats of the film. For individuals…

Band members are Gil Pz(Vocals) Emir Erkal (Guitars) Primer (bass) and Tbone (drums) This is the follow up to their latest full length release ‘Symptoms Of Sin’.

Howler – America Give Up (CD)

Fans of Total Babe will likely know about guitarist Gatesmith’s new act, Howler. However, I feel that Howler as a whole surpasses in quality Total Babe, while breaking eirself free of the former trappings. America Give Up is one of the first good albums of 2012, and it is due to this free and expansive sound. The album opens up with Beach Sluts, a track that will immediately introducer listeners…

The Chateau Meroux (DVD)

The love story is one of the oldest stories that we have archived. It plays to the most common emotions that individuals have, and in cinema, it is an easy film to make. However, this does not mean that love films are always good. The Chateau Meroux is good, and will have viewers eagerly anticipating what happens to Marla Sokoloff’s main character. This character is given a vineyard by eir…

Lamb of God – Resolution (CD)

We have reviewed a number of Lamb of God albums on NeuFutur. In the same vein, we have given extensive coverage to the various types of metal. The one thing that we have noticed over the last 13 years of covering these acts is that metal seems particularly prone for bands to come forth with an unique sound and then run it into the ground. Lamb of God is one…

Blackthorn (Blu-Ray & DVD)

The Western as a genre has never recovered from the precipitous decline experienced by the seventies and eighties. I believe that most of the viewing audience has been burnt by films in the genre, which tend to be rote recreations of better titles. Blackthorn, starring Sam Shepard, Stephen Rea, and Eduardo Noreiga, is one of the films that looks to restore the Western to its former glory. The title focuses…
