Nantucket Brand is a company that has only been around for a few years (formed in 2005), but the sort of quality that they operate under has made them into a force to be reckoned with in clothing. We received one of Nantucket Brand’s shirts – the Women’s Cashmere Blend Henley Sweater – for review a few weeks ago. After familiarizing ourselves with the wear and overall feel of the…
When I do hard workout days, particularly those that employ my legs, I find myself in absolute agony for the next few days. While I usually can make it to my next workout, there have been some times in the past where I have ghad to scrub a day just based on the muscle and joint pain that I am dealing with. However, NRG-X Labs have had to deal with…
I have no idea how they keep doing it, but spirits manufacturers are able to key in to a specific set of flavors and impeccably create a spirit that tastes like it should. Hiram Walker has made a Caramel Apple Liqueur that fits into this perfectly. At 15% ABV, one should not be afraid that a few shots will put them under the table. Keeping some alcohol burn to the…
The amount of different styles that The Fairchilds place on Our Revolution is simply stunning; the constituent band members are talented enough that they are able to create a unique and compelling sound that reaches through the majority of tracks on this album. Our Revolution begins with I Need You, a tremendously emotional track that pits vocals against instrumentation; with this antagonistic relationship, the resulting effort is pushed to the…
This DVD set contains the last thirteen episodes of Lie to Me; while the shows had slightly softer ratings than did the other two seasons, I feel that the writers and actors were able to really create a special series. The backstories for each of the main cast of characters were further fleshed out this season, while there is a sense that there could be some serious story arcs should…
Lucky is a film that has an interesting premise. A childhood friend and current gold digger (Ari Graynor) marries an individual that has just won the lottery (Colin Hanks). Marrying eir for all of the wrong reasons, it gradually comes into view that the lottery winner is much more dark than previously thought. As a result, this significant other is forced to do increasingly illegal actions just to make sure…
Creatine has been one of the widest used supplements since it came into prominence in the 90s, but the different varieties of the stuff can make choosing a product confusing. Thermolife’s C-BOLis powered by the inclusion of creatine nitrate, and will further benefit those that purchase it by the presence of their nitrate techonology. Creatine nitrate allows the expulsion of additional water, while ensuring that muscles can growth without any…
There are a number of horror movies that look to take a more comical take on the genre. The amount that these films vary in terms of quality and of star caliber involved is similarly substantial; saying that, it becomes necessary to look at reviews and determine whether this is a hit or miss. Phase 7 is a title that does not benefit from an American’s familiarity with their actors…
1001 Touch Games is the perfect time waster. The title has (as one can guess) over 1000 levels of a variety of different titles which will get one’s digits going. The titles themselves do not use bleeding-edge graphics, but are a fun type of casual game that players of all ages can appreciate. The different genres of games here are substantial – along with hidden object searches, one can play…
I have been working out seriously over the course of the last fourteen months, and I have shed about 95 pounds and have packed on a decent amount of muscle. However, I found myself hitting a pretty serious plateau towards the end of my last pre-workout drink. We received the Body Octane Game Day a few days back and have begun to use it as our primary pre-workout. The product’s…
Go Vacation is one of those few titles that individuals of all ages can appreciate and be challenged by; where a number of all-ages titles are made too easy for the older set, I feel that Namco Bandai’s Go Vacation will challenge all equally. The narration of the titular activity is such that players will be entered into their own world after they pick from a wide array of avatars.…
This is a hell of a debut. Where there are a considerable amount of first recordings that seem to be a route toward a more polished second album, Wilson immediately hits the ground running from the beginning of the album’s first track. This titular song provides listeners with a microcosm of the sounds, styles, and overall approaches that Wilson will be taking with the album. Canyon in the Rain is…
There is an absolutely sage sound to the tracks on Resilience that belies the youth of tenor sax player Tim Mayer. While a more youthful disposition would have Mayer push eirself to the front of each of the album’s 10 tracks, Resilience has a much more varied and intelligent use of the aforementioned instrument. Nowhere is this heard as well as during the introductory For Miles; the track is able…
Twinlab has made it possible for individuals of all income levels to provide themselves with a supplement that will create a tremendous amount of energy without making them crash (a la gas station pep pills). This is because they have made their Energy Fuel product in tablet format – Vitamin D and Chromium will ensure that one is able to properly accept the blend of different herbs and fruits present.…
How Do You Do is an album that is like fine wine; it gets better with age. Get To Know You is an impressive introduction, with emotive sentiments tying in perfectly with intricate arrangements. The intense feelings that are brought to bear during How Do You Do represent the glue that holds the track together. While there are definitely rising and falling moments to be experienced here, the same nuanced,…
X-Men has continually been the one super hero franchise that has had solid titles made for it, through the course of the last twenty years. While many of these titles now are focused on the fighting aspect of the X-Men, X-Men Destiny keeps things interesting by building an action-RPG title from scratch. What results is a varied experience that stays fresh through repeated plays of the title, all with a…
The sheer amount of energy providing supplements currently on the market clutters things up considerably, and I would venture to guess that not many are able to find the perfect supplement for their needs as a result. However, Betancourt has created in Ripped Juice EX2 a product that works well, no matter whether the individual works out seriously or just needs to cut off a few pounds for their class…
One could take a different fat burning supplement every day for a year and not have went through the sheer number of products on the market. The active ingredients that they contain, as well as what they are touted to do, vary considerably. One has to educate themselves thoroughly before purchasing a product, and I feel that Better Body Sports’ Phoenix should be seriously considered by anyone that wants to…
Tony Desimone is an artist that wishes to establish himself as being one of the major forces of Americana rock. By taking on bits and hints of John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, and even newer acts like Third Eye Blind and Matt Nathanson, what results on The Second Time Around is something that bleeds red, white and blue. This does not mean that Desimone saturates everything with Old Glory, but rather…
The Howling Reborn is one of those films that is a remake, but it strong enough to actually allow the story to be updated in a compelling and fresh way. This is due to the work put in by the actors, which are headed up by Ivana Milicevic (Casino Royale) and Lindsey Shaw (10 Things I Hate About You); despite being something to look at, the duo make their motivations…
