Taylor Swift has been in the music industry for a number of years at this point, but the style and quality of music that ey creates has not dipped in the slightest. Journey to Fearless is a documentary into the creative process that leads into the creation of songs as well as massive concerts. All of Swift’s biggest tracks are contained here – Fifteen, Teardrops on My Guitar, Love Story…
Tajomaru: Avenging Blade is a title about the titular Tajomaru, who occupied a role not completely dissimilar to the highwaymen that caused problems in the American west. Specifically, Tajomaru and eir band of miscreants runs amok in feudal Japan, without any sort of law or forces to put an end to eir reign. Naomitsu (played here by Shun Oguri) is an exiled elite that has been aggrieved by Tajomaru. After…
There have been no limits to the amount of films that look to parody or otherwise attack (either seriously or jocularly) Kim Jong-Il. A number of these titles paint the despot as a pitiable creature, and The Juche Idea adds a bit more to this style of film. For those that are not familiar, The Juche Idea is a blend of different religions and philosophies. This belief system was originally…
Hugo Weaving may just be the most versatile actor currently in Hollywood today. In The Boxer and The Bombshell, Weaving is a mobster that has control of a seedy underground set of businesses during the interwar years (teens/twenties). Paired alongside Matt le Nevez and Rose Byrne, Weaving is able to lead the film to a surprising compelling tenor. However, it is not only the performances that are turned in by…
House of Suh is a fascinating film. This title marks the first foray into film by Iris Shim; ey captures the horrific events that took place in September of 1993, where a brother and sister combination planned out the murder of the sister’s significant other. The film starts out with a description of the generations between Andrew and Catherine While the events that are covered with the title are a…
There are so many protein bars that are currently on the market that it seems almost impossible to come up with the best for one’s dietary needs and restrictions. However, FortiFX has came strong out of the gate and I am confident that the product is gram for gram the best protein bar currently available for purchase. The FortiFX bar comes in three different flavors – Chocolate Deluxe, Peanut Butter…
Jack Yarber has pretty much done it all. Ey has spent tours in The Compulsive Gamblers, Jack O and the Tennessee Tearjerkers and The Oblivians. Rat City drops all the extra musicians and hangers-on and showcases Oblivian at eir most honest. What results with Rat City is a tremendously touching and emotionally intense album, with tracks that run the range of styles and feelings that listeners have came to expect…
We have reviewed singular clothing products in NeuFutur in the past, but I believe that Mountain Khakis has provided an amazing outfit for the autumn and winter months. This outfit combines the W’s Guru Organic Full-Zip Hoodie and W’s Cottonwood Cord Pant; both of these products have a contemporary but not overly flashy look. This translates well to whichever event one finds themselves in; our reviewer was able to rock…
Reviewer note: We received this sample from Swanson directly for review, gratis. There are a number of different sleep aids on the market. While they usually contain the same constellation of vitamins, minerals, and other materials, Swanson has done their work and made a supplement that combines all the different schools of thought about increasing an individual’s ability to sleep. This means that Sleep Essentials has Valerian, Chamomile, Hops, L-Taurine,…
There are a number of healthy uses for a deep fryer. As long as one has put it to the right temperature, the oil will cook – not soak into – whatever one places into it. While the first thing we tried in it was deep-fried Oreos, Kalorik has provided a number of temperatures for vegetables, delicacies, and anything else edible that one can think of. The pot (which contains…
The Kesho MJ in Taupe is the perfect autumn shoe. This is for many reasons; the color is a muted, lighter shade of brown that pops among the foliage, the unique MBT design ensures the highest amount of comfort, and the open top showcases a woman’s foot perfectly. The shoe’s versatility cannot be challenged – no matter whether the wearer is dressed up for dinner at a fancy restaurant or…
Radley Metzger’s Erotica Psychedelica set contains three films – 1969’s Camille 2000, 1970’s The Lickerish Quartet, and 1972’s Score – along with a beautifully-designed box to contain them. This box set also contains footage taken from Metzger’s set, along with a soundtrack CD that captures the unique and compelling scores laid down for the films. The Blu-Ray format makes each film pop. For those with bleeding-edge video systems, the 1080p…
We here at NeuFutur have covered a number of pieces of clothing, and we have looked into the benefits that a number of sporting goods have provided to individuals. However, we have not as of yet provided any coverage of socks. I believe that the socks that an individual chooses to wear has a tremendous effect on one’s well being, something that is considerably changed after a work out or…
Mya Communciation has been releasing rare and otherwise out of print titles for a decent while now, but we have not as of yet been lucky enough to review any of their titles. We received a DVD copy of 1974’s giallo classic Death Will Have Your Eyes, and are pleased to report that it utterly vanquishes all of the DVD bootlegs that have been flooding the market over the last…
BFS Entertainment has provided viewers with the final set of F Word episodes. These episodes comprise the 2009 run of the show, and give viewers a more worldly flavor than was present in previous seasons of the show. Focusing on the oldest (French) older (Chinese, Italian) and more contemporary (Thai) cuisines, the show is must watch based on the different tacks taken by each of the finalists. The star power…
Michael Sheen and Maria Bello star opposite each other in Beautiful Boy, a title that looks at the darkness that is present when a couple decides to separate. The sheer emotional intensity that is present in Beautiful Boy is more than enough reason to watch the film – I would even venture that it should be required reading for any couples that would be on the verge of breaking up.…
South Africa seems to be a land of considerable faith. We at NeuFutur cover many of the bodybuilding competitions, and the South African competitor was the only one to come out to a praise song. Angus Buchan is also from South African, and has penned Come of Age. This title showcases the difficulties that one will experience as one that holds faith. Rather than be beat down by life, the…
There have been a whole slew of artist-based video games, especially those that center around taking up the mantle of a musician. However, there seems to be much more of a focus on the real-life music side of things with Rocksmith, which allows individuals to plug in their own guitar to play. The title’s difficulty is keyed into the ability that the individual shows in previous rounds – instead of…
The multiple styles in which Maynard James Keenan can successfully work in is astonishing; eir latest work as Puscifer, Conditions of My Parole, should show that. Green Valley is one early-disc track that will immediately impact listeners – the dual-part harmony achieved with Carina Round rivals the traditional instrumentation for dominance. Man Overboard is the closest thing to a single that Conditions of My Parole has, but this is for…
Økland and Apeland attempt to faithfully recreate the mystique behind Ole Bull’s compositions. Bull, an 19th century composer, has largely been forgotten by the current generation of musicians and listeners alike. This CD, released earlier this year by ECM Records, looks to restore Bull’s good name as well as showcase the technical virtuosity of Økland and Apeland. I believe that the duo is able to succeed in these listed goals;…
