Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop (DVD)

After Conan O’Brien was jerked around by the powers that be, I feel that ey really let it affect eir. This is seen especially in eir current show; I believe that there has been a certain spark that is not usually present there. However, Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop is a release that showcases that speak and shows it to individuals that may not be too familiar with O’Brien’s earlier work…

Old Forester

Old Forester is one of those whiskies that are likely on the shelves at every single liquor store and a great deal of the bars that are currently operating. However, there is not the same publicity present for this spirit that there is for Jack Daniels or other similar types of efforts. What results is a spirit that is simply fantastic but that few actually order when they are looking…

Adventure Time: My Two Favorite People (DVD)

Adventure Time may just be the most fresh show that Cartoon Network has aired since Ed, Edd, ‘n Eddy was still in production. The sheer amount of pop-culture references present, tied to a fantasy backdrop, makes this into a show that can be enjoyed no matter whether the watcher is 8, 28, or 58. Along with Regular Show, Adventure Time is part of a major resurgence for Cartoon Network. My…

Carmel (DVD)

This is Amos Gitai’s magnum opus. The film is an intricate look into the filmmaker and into Israel; the two entities have many things in common. The disconnect between Israel and the United States is shown well here, with the ancient tied together with the ultra-modern. Gitai’s work in imbuing eir home country with a human vitality will foster an increased level of interest for many in Israel. However, Carmel…

Astrid Williamson – Pulse (CD)

The transformative power of music is something that really transcends boundaries, whether human created or naturally made. This means that what Astrid Williamson does on Pulse is something that speaks more generally to humanity. The specific genre and styles broached during this album do not matter as much as eir honest and earnest approach, something that is refined over the course of the album’s 10 tracks. What results with this…

Luke Bryan – Tailgates & Tanlines (CD)

There have been two distinct forms of country music that have been splitting apart over the course of the last 15 or 20 years. While the line between pop and country has been blurred by a great many of the current wave of country artists, there are still a number of practitioners of the older country and western style. Of current artists, there are not many that attempt to join…

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Raw Food Detox (Book)

The amount of different reasons to try the raw food diet are legion – whether it be a number of famous figures extolling the diet’s virtues or from an individual’s concern about their lifestyle, there are some good reasons why individuals check out this diet. However, I believe that there are not too many in the way of different resources that collect the sheer amount of information that The Complete…

Gerber Fit (Multitool)

There are a number of different multi-use tools that are currently on the market. However, the Gerber Fit is one of the best. This is due to its quality, number of tools, and sheer versatility. Where I believe that other multi-tools on the market are a little on the flimsy side, the Gerber Fit’s screwdriver, tweezers, scissors, pick, and knife all are constructed of thick metal. This ensures that no…

Marley’s Mellow Mood Lite (Drink)

Marley’s Mellow Mood is a beverage that is rare to find. Where there are a number of different products that are on the market that contain a similar constellation of compounds to Marley’s Mellow Mood, all of them just disappoint in the taste department. Furthermore, these drinks all have a high amount of calories and carbohydrates. Marley’s Mellow Mood avoids both of these icebergs and comes out with one of…

SciVation Dialene 4X (Fat Burning)

The amount of different diet and fat burning pills that are present at any one time on the fitness market will confuse anyone, and the differential effects that each have makes it hard to truly find the right supplement. However, I believe that SciVation’s Dialene 4X is one of the few fat burning pills that work, and will work no matter one’s age, level of health, or strictness of diet.…

Hesher (Blu-Ray)

Metal movies always become cult movies, but some of them are pretty poor. However, Hesher is a film that would gain a cult status no matter what sub-groups followed it. This is because the storytelling and the acting with bring viewers in, while the crisp presentation of the Blu-Ray here will have them agog at what they see on their TV. For those that are unfamiliar with the film, Hesher…

Mimi Goese and Ben Neill – Songs For Persephone (CD)

The interplay that is created by Goese and Neill on their Songs For Persephone ensures that the CD will remain in a purchaser’s player for months to come. This is not noticed only in the instrumental side of things, but also through the whole effort that follows from the disc’s initial track, Roma. The stylistic choices that are made during Songs For Persephone are nothing less than inspired; blending together…

360 Concord Grape Vodka

360 Concord Grape Vodka is one of the first vodkas that we have received that looks to go beyond a simple grape designation and move into specific varietals of the fruit. What results in the 360 Concord Grape Vodka is something that is fresh and interesting tasting, all while providing imbibers with the same high quality that has been present in all 360 Vodka efforts. The spirit has a solid…

Premier Protein Shake

We’ve had the Premier Protein Shakes on our shelves for a few weeks, largely because our reviewer was a mite bit afraid of the Strawberry flavor. However, ey bravely forged through and was rewarded with one of the best ready-made protein drinks that ey has had as a NeuFutur reviewer. Essentially, all one needs to do to make the Premier Protein Shake possess the best possible taste is just to…

Kendra: Seasons 2 & 3; Holly’s World: The Complete Seasons 1 & 2 (DVD)

Let’s get Holly’s World out of the way first. With plenty of plastic surgery and a grating voice she heads off to Mecca for those who like to disrobe for strangers: Vegas! The show follows Madison and her dim assistant (even for realty show sidekick standards, she is jaw-droppingly ditzy) in their new city, where Madison has taken up residency at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino where she headlines…

Pentax Optio RS1500 (Camera)

I believe that the Pentax Optio RS1500 is a smart buy for anyone save for professional photographers. While there are features like the removable faceplate that will appease the fashion-conscious, I believe that the camera itself contains more than enough functionality to keep it competitive over the course of the next few years. For those that wish to use their camera for multiple functions, the style of video that is…

Pink Floyd –14 Studio Albums Remastered (EMI)

Listening to Pink Floyd’s three decade spanning, 14 song catalog, two things are clear; One: they were more than a tad bit pretentious at the beginning. With droning organ solos and album titles like A Saucerful of Secrets and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, you can almost imagine that scene from Spinal Tap with the little people dancing around the replica of Stonehenge actually came from the acid-soaked…

The Entitled (Blu-Ray)

The Entitled is a film that has an interesting premise. This film has Kevin Zegers play Paul Dynan, an individual that is looking to make a quick score. However, eir plan is to abduct the daughters of three wealthy individuals in the community. Holding them ransom, Dynan hopes to net three million dollars. However, Dynan’s plays rapidly go awry as it becomes obvious that the fathers have different priorities than…

ATH-WS55 (Headphones)

Having a pair of ATH-WS55 headphones is like having a receiver and a sound system all in one. This is due to the extreme care that Audio Technica has taken in creating a balanced effort in this product. While the bass comes through with an assertive thump, the sheer amount of frequencies that can be reproduced ensures that listeners get the entire picture. The slider allows a proper fit, no…

Last Kung Fu Monk (DVD)

The amount of kung fu and other similar types of action movies that have came out in the last few years is at a number that is much lower than during the genre’s heyday (1960s-1980s). The quality of these films have dipped slightly, but there is a solid flick in Last Kung Fu Monk. Screen Media Films has released this title to United States audiences, which focuses on the trials…
