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…
In the last decade or so, there has been a monopoly in terms of wrestling games that are on the market. The TNA Impact video game did not do as well as it should have in bringing the company’s unique flair to consoles, while the variety of Japanese wrestling games are usually passed over for the American market. Hulk Hogan’s Main Event is a serious contender for wrestling fan’s video…
There are a number of different headphones that we have had the chance to review over the last year, and many of these were priced at a level that made it hard for individuals to swing. However, the price of the SE-CL331 headphones by Pioneer, coupled with a high level of quality, make them accessible to the widest array of purchasers. This quality is unmatched – these are for the…
Michael Winterbottom’s latest film The Trip contains quite possibly the funniest three-minutes of any movie released this year. Witnessing two comedians (played by Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon) trying to one up each other with Michael Caine impressions elicits a laugh-until-it hurts response. Not sure the same can be said about any scene from The Hangover II. The independent comedy follows Coogan (24 Hour Party People, Tropic Thunder), playing himself,…
There are a whole slew of different influences and styles that are cultivated during the twelve tracks that comprise the original self-titled effort by Yuck. However, I feel that the album takes a much different tone when a second CD of six tracks are included. Fat Possum has just released a deluxe edition of this album, providing fans with some fun new tracks and a snappy packaging option. Rubber is…
I was fairly sure that the X-Men franchise was gradually going to come to an end after the X-Men Origins: Wolverine title did a little worse than movie executives thought. X-Men: First Class was the way in which the X-Men franchise was able to properly gain steam, and I believe that Fox’s work with this Blu-Ray is strong enough to properly foster additional interest in the series. X-Men: First Class…
At some point, there is nothing to Frogger. One has to avoid different moving (fast and slow) objects to get to the other side. How Konami ultimately makes it into a title that individuals will want alongside all of the different titles being released for the platform is something that I want to look into. The multiplayer option that is presented here allows up to four players a chance to…
Very few horror films are scary or otherwise interesting anymore. If they are not remakes of older American or foreign horror films, the production values of a great many of these films are just too low to provide an immersive experience. I have faith in the horror genre with the release of a new title – Frat House Massacre. Where males in film are traditionally seen as those that are…
There are a number of different products that one can use in their bath. Whether it is the tried and true Epsom salts, bubble bath, or any other blend (bath salts), there is typically a good feel and smell blended together. However, I feel that some of these products are better than others. The Calgon Bath Pearls that we received are better than others on the market. First off, there…
On the surface, In Treatment shouldn’t work. Aside from Gabriel Byrne who plays therapist Dr. Paul Weston, there are few reoccurring characters to attach to; just about every scene takes place in either Weston’s office or the office of his own therapist; and there is very little action, putting all of the pressure on the dialogue. But somehow – and almost exclusively thanks to the brilliant Byrne, as well as…
