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…
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 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…
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…
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…
As individuals work out, they burn up pretty much everything in their body – the food that they have eaten, their muscles, energy, and even the building blocks known as amino acids. Prolab has created a supplement in their BCAA Plus that should be present in the cabinets of anyone that wishes to take their exercises to the next level. Aside from containing the aforementioned amino acids, the BCAA Plus…
It’s been said before, but needs to be said again: Tom Perrotta knows suburbia. In his previous works (Election, The Abstinence Teacher and Little Children), Perrotta used his unique perspective to tackle the everyday challenges and worries – both real and ridiculous – of his characters that populate the suburbs of America. And nowhere is that done to better effect than his latest novel The Leftovers. Absolutely absorbing from the…
The type of music that issues forth during Naked Truth’s Shikaru is incredibly interesting, even more so considering the breakdown of the members. Both the Pat Methany Group (Cuong Vu) and King Crimson (Pat Mastelotto) are represented, while Roy Powell is the pianist and Lorenzo Feliciati rounds out the act on bass and guitars. What results on Shikaru is a mélange of the different influences and styles that each member…
Glee is a global sensation. It is not surprising that Fox will go all out with their Blu-Ray and DVD releases regarding the show, but I feel that I was completely surprised when we received a copy of Glee: The Complete Second Season. Aside from the season’s episodes, the Glee Music Jukebox will allow viewers to rapidly find their favorite tracks to the show and rock out like it’s no…
Grape is one of the most common vodka flavors and is quite possibly the easiest one to screw up. We reviewed the Pucker Vodka take on Green Apple a couple months ago, and wanted to see how they did on their take of Grape. The great thing about the Pucker Grape Gone Wild is that it contains all sides of grape flavoring, tying together wine and the fruit’s flavor along…
The ease in which Fiery Blue moves across different genres is absolutely amazing; it takes just a few seconds for the act to shift gears and link together country, rock, and even pop music into a cohesive and coherent approach. Our Secret is a title that will give something to everyone, no matter what types of music one fancies themselves to appreciate. Our Secret is one of those special titles…
I feel that a great number of the microbreweries that are currently in operation make beer that is ultimately forgettable. However, there are a few intrepid breweries that are able to push forward and create unique beers that should be checked out. Yards Brewing Company has done just that in their Philadelphia Pale Ale. There is a nuanced taste to the beer that will be tremendously compelling to those that…
Just as a warning; we were unable to test Muscle Gauge Nutrition’s NO2XL as vigorously as we have other products in the health and fitness section. Saying that, I believe that we capture the product’s essence and can provide benefit to our readers. NO2XL is a product that will get individuals amped up and ready to take on whatever they need during their workout. The product blends together A-AKG, GKG,…
Spice + Wolf is an anime that looks to break free from some of the different trends and topics that are commonplace in the genre. By doing this, the show moves from something simply good to a must see. While the happenings in the show are larger than life, there is a sense that what happens to Craft and Holo could have conceivably happened at some point in history. The…
You know what’s great about a musician like Tom Waits? Aside from being a great songwriter, he has made a musical career out of simply doing his own thing, not content to change his vocals or music style to fit into whatever happens t be the prevailing trend (this is a guy who was signed by David Geffen alongside 70’s country rockers like The Eagles and Jackson Browne, and said…
Nickelodeon has been trying to release different cartoons for the first time on DVD. This means that shows that were all the rage in the nineties and two-thousands can be enjoyed in a clear and visually appealing format. Hey Arnold! is the latest show to get this treatment, and the release has been given a price point (about $20-30 depending on where one picks up the disc) that should easily…
I believe that this is the first time that we have had a gummy-flavored vodka drop in for review at NeuFutur. For those individuals that normally familiarize themselves with lower-proof offerings, be careful – this Pinnacle product (and all their flavored versions) clocks in at 70 proof. Pinnacle Gummy is able to create a very natural type of flavor that allows the grain flavor of the vodka to still be…
3 Women is one of those forgotten films that stands up perfectly today. This Robert Altman-directed and Shelley Duvall / Sissy Spacek –starred title showcases a bizarre friendship between the two leads that rapidly changes into something much more sinister. The dream-like feel to the film breask free to the narrative style employed in the vast majority of films; there seems to be a much heavier focus on the moods…
I had made a warming implement that essentially was a sock with rice inside. One could put this into the microwave for a few minutes and it would maintain its heat over the course of a few hours. However, this was pretty small and lost its heat more quickly than I would prefer. I was lucky enough to receive a Carex Bed Buddy for review in NeuFutur, and this is…
Top Secret Nutrition N.O. 370 / Pre-Workout / http://www.topsecretnutrition.com Many of the pre-workout products that are on the market are able to do a basic level of work for individuals that take them – they can energize or otherwise prime someone for their physical exertion. However, Top Secret Nutrition’s N.O. 370 is a product that looks to re-cast what a pre-workout is and what it can do for the person…
