Vidal Sassoon: The Movie (DVD)

I believe that the actual person that is behind the Vidal Sassoon empire has faded in the years since ey was actively changing the world of fashion. For those that do not know, Vidal Sassoon is a British hairstyler that tied architecture, art, and high fashion into specific cuts. The work that ey did 50 years ago is why Vidal Sassoon (the company) is such a large one currently –…

Henry’s Crime (Blu-Ray)

Martin Venville (from 44 Inch Chest) directs Henry’s Crime, which is a film with tremendous indie cred and a cast to back up this. Keanu Reeves, James Caan, and Fisher Stevens make this film into a tremendously interesting watch; Henry’s Crime is about the tension between the easy score and the honest job. Where it would be easy enough to commit one big crime – a bank heist, for example…

Sodastream

Sodasteam is the one product that we continually use at NeuFutur headquarters. While alcohol, workout supplements, and practically anything else that we receive for review gradually begins to gain dust, there is rarely a week that goes by that we do not use the Sodastream. The process by which individuals can make their own soda is easy – just go and fill up on of the reusable containers with water,…

Paranormal State: The Complete Season Five (DVD Set)

It seems that a number of the different reality shows begin to show their age after the first few seasons, but that Paranormal State is able to buck that trend and keep itself fresh throughout. This ghost hunter show makes sure to ratchet up the drama, especially through the use of their cutting edge tools and night vision lighting. This DVD set captures all of the episodes from the fifth…

Hung – The Complete Second Season (DVD)

HBO’s favorite man whore is back for a second season. Hung, starring Thomas Jane as Ray Drecker, a former high school jock now coaching at the school, is still trying to rebuild his old burned out house, while juggling clients (women only), a one-night stand with one of his two pimps (again, women only) and now his ex-wife (played by Anne Heche). While season one was all about quickly introducing…

This collection gives viewers the chance to collect films that would not normally be available, at a price that would be amenable to all (Amazon has it available for a shade under $50). This release collects the three films in the Straight Boys Gay Boys collection, allowing for viewers to spend a night under the sheets with their lovers without having to leave the room. For those that may already…

Daguerreotypes (DVD)

Daguerreotypes is a documentary created by Agnes Varda (Jacquot de Nantes, La Pointe Courte) in 1975. Varda has had a career stretch out over a half century, with Les plages d’Agnes comprising eir latest work. Daguerreotypes is an intimate look into the area in which ey spent some of eir best years, looking into the different efforts, shops, and owners that make the Rue Daguerre such an unique place. The…

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (DVD)

Shows that are set in antiquity typically do pretty well; one just has to remember back to the 1960s just to see exactly how well Cleopatra did in theatres. This trend has continued into the current period as well; Rome and Gladiator both have or had huge fanbases. Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is a show that blends together all three of these releases, and does it in a fashion…

Captain America (DVD)

This 1992 version of Cap has been provided for the first time by MGM; individuals that wish to see how the comic was envisioned by early nineties filmmakers would do well to search out a copy of this release. The film will ultimately be seen by a wider segment of fans than it would have been; I believe that the over the top nature of the film will bring a…

Drambuie (92 Proof)

Drambuie is one of the spirits that we tried for years to get here at NeuFutur, but we were never able to firm up a contact for it. However, we were able to finally get in touch with someone and were able to receive a bottle of it for review. When we actually received the bottle of Drambuie, we were immediately shocked about how unique of a spirit it truly…

EAS Myoplex Nutrition Bar – Chocolate Peanut Bar (Protein Bar)

Out of all the protein bars that I have tested out for NeuFutur, I feel that the EAS Myoplex Nutrition Bar may just be the best that I have ever had. This is because it is so similar to normal candy bars on the market – it tasted to me as if it was a blend of Snickers and Three Musketeers. Saying that, it possesses the protein and materials that…

Moon Mountain Vodka (80 Proof)

We rarely receive straight vodkas for review in NeuFutur. This is likely because there are not many different types of plain vodka that are being added to the market. What is much more common is flavored variants of traditional vodkas (Stoli, Smirnoff); we were excited to see (and experience) what a new hand could do to the tried and true vodka format. Moon Mountain Vodka is a new product, and…

Yazi Ginger Vodka (70 Proof)

We received a ginger vodka in the mail a few months ago and were not impressed with how the company blended together the flavor with the vodka. However, we were approached to cover Yazi Ginger Vodka and thought that we would give the pairing a second shot. We are glad we did, as the Yazi represents one of the few flavored vodkas that are worth the time and money it…

Herr’s Hot Sauce Flavored Potato Chips

This is by far the most popular product that we have received for review at NeuFutur. Herr’s latest effort, their Hot Sauce Flavored Potato Chips, is simply amazing. While we usually focus on the health side of things, sometimes it is nice to just pig out. It seems as if the hot sauce or hot element that is used to flavor things typically is a no-name brand, but Herr’s has…

Remy V (Brandy)

Remy Martin is a very forward type of company. In fact, by releasing this clear product, I have little doubt in my mind that all of the other cognac producers will be following Remy’s lead in the years to come. The Remy V is a clear spirit distilled from grapes, and is filtered through a cold line to be given its unique flair. The Remy V is also distinct from…

Designer Whey Protein Bars

There is a sense a lot of times that protein bars are just like other workout products on the market – they taste horrible but are needed to increase the amount of fitness that one has. As a result, I think that a great deal of different protein bars that are on the market get by with a sub-optimum taste. However, Designer Whey has created a line of protein bars…

Jessica London Coleen Bow Soft Pants

The comfort of these pants is nothing less than complete – the fabric that is used here is nothing less than top notch. Couple the inclusion of smart fabric with a very forgiving type of cut, and individuals should be able to wear the Coleen Bow Soft Pants in pretty much any situation, no matter whether it is casual or formal. The high-cut waistband that these pants employ allow for…

Sci-Fi Invasion (DVD Set)

There is no reason why this DVD set should not be picked up for anyone that loves cinema or sci-fi movies specifically. This is due to the fact that this collection contains 50 different movies that range the gamut from fairly large-budget all the way down to slightly larger than independent movies. More impressive than the levels of films that are present on this set would have to be the…
