After a bumpy couple of seasons, the long-running HBO series finally gets back into its groove with the seventh and second to last season. This season finds actor Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) between movies, hooking up with porn star Sasha Grey (essentially playing herself) and getting addicted to booze and Cocaine. His hangers on have each found their own lives, Eric (Kevin Connolly) managing other actors; Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) pitching…
“Last Transmission” is the first track on “After All This Time”, and it immediately provides listeners with the perfect blend of emo, rock, and punk music. The nearest thing that I can link Low Fi to is the pre-Metal Blade Goo Goo Dolls. There is a fury and passion that is present with each of the cuts on this EP that will permanently imprint the band onto the minds and…
The beer comes out with a very yellow-orange color and an opaqueness that immediately establishes the effort as pretty unique. The whitish-yellow head that pours out added to the slightly astringent nose provide imbibers with a few hints about the beer, but it does take a few solid swigs to get a better appreciation for the beer. There is some sweetness to be had, but it is moderated substantially by…
Matthew McConaughey may have just found his ticket out of the romantic comedy ghetto. Lincoln Lawyer, based on the wildly popular Michael Connelly novels, centers around the somewhat sleazy defense attorney Mickey Haller who works out of his Lincoln Continental (get it?). Don’t worry, Haller (played deftly by McConaughey) is a loving dad, gets along great with his ex-wife and has just the right amount of charm to make you…
American TV audiences have a problem saying goodbye… well, let me clarify, American TV show producers have a problem saying goodbye as evidenced by how often they keep the shows on life support long after all of the story lines have been exhausted and the audience has moved on. Though NBC’s ER happens to be a big exception to that rule. By centering the show around a revolving cast of…
Taking a cue from Activision’s popular Mortal Kombat series, HotHead Games has released their effort in the virtual CCG arena entitled Kard Combat. At first blush this just sounds like a vain attempt at stealing some thunder from Mortal Kombat, but I assure you it’s slightly more cheesy than that. A “Kard” according to the in game tutorial is something like a Legend or General in the Magic: The Gathering…
For what they are, products like Gatorade and Powerade are pricey. However, there were not electrolyte-supplementing products readily available on the market. We were lucky enough to receive some samples of GU Electrolyte Tablets, and believe that they should be how you can cut down on workout-related costs. If each 32 ounce bottle of Gatorade costs around $1.50-$2.00, then a tube of the GU Electrolyte Tablets ($6.50) represent a substantial…
Women can do just as hard of workouts and throw up just as much weight as men in the gym, but it seems that there are not too many products currently on the market that specifically target women that do serious weight training. Next Level Formulations is one of the only companies that I know that has tapped this market, and has done so with their Complete System. This stack…
Moscato is perhaps the hottest wine on the market today. Mentioned in a number of rap and R&B songs, there is no lack of love for this varietal. In much the same way, [yellow tail] has been the belle of the ball when it comes to wine producers. This wine seems to be a match in heaven, available in practically any supermarket or wine store for around $7 for a…
I believe that the largest failing of powder proteins is the fact that water has to be included. This is because after I endure a grueling workout, drinking additional water is the furthest thing from my mind. Protein shots are better than protein shakes for this reason, but I still always search out any sort of alternative. Twinlab has released a Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein that will provide buyers with 15…
Dan Sartain has been crafting eir own unique style since 2001; “The Legacy of Hospitality” is eir seventh album, and showcases more of the same compelling skill that made eir last albums must-have. “Atheist Funeral” begins this album of rarities and otherwise forgotten tracks, providing listeners with that little bit of energy to keep them hanging on. Particular high notes during this album have to include “I Don’t Wanna Go…
There has been a lot of buzz surrounding Hobo With A Shotgun over the course of the last year. This DVD (and Blu-Ray) release looks to be the comprehensive release regarding this DVD. Hobo With A Shotgun focuses on Rutger Hauer’s character as ey moves into a new city and looks to try to make a new start. However, the denizens of the city are sufficiently messed-up to ensure that…
Nightbeast is a 1982 film directed by Don Dohler (The Alien Factor, The Galaxy Invader), which had on its crew a young J.J. Abrams. Nightbeast focuses on the exploits of an alien that is using a deadly gun to waste the inhabitants of a small city. Along with the sheer body count, there are gore shots and other scenes of destruction that will keep viewers interested throughout. Troma has bundled…
A pre-workout supplement is vital to ensure that you can have a workout at the intensity that is needed, while having the energy to stick with it until your mind and body is completely exhausted. The quality between the different types of pre-workout supplements is considerable, and I believe that PreSurge Unleashed is one of the best pre-workout supplements that we have had the chance to use at this point.…
There are a number of examples of films that use a non-acting celebrity that end up being some of the worst of all time (Kazaam, for example). However, Love’s Kitchen is a movie that looks to destroy this belief; the inclusion of Gordon Ramsay in the film seems to work well. This is likely because the title does not only revolve around Ramsay; Dougray Scott (Rob) and Claire Forlani (Kate)…
I had a Hungarian grandmother, so the topics that are covered during Hunky Blues are tremendously interesting to me. This documentary, directed by Péter Forgács, showcases the unique experience of Hungarian immigrants to the United States. To showcase the first-hand materials that ey has found, Forgács presents viewers with footage culled from the Library of Congress, different members of the New Jersey Hungarian community, and even from the museum on…
Whey Isolate Protein is the best possible type of protein for those individuals that wish to see the best possible gains from their workout regimen. Prolab’s version of whey protein isolate is similarly better than other similar products on the market, due to how the protein is bundled. Their whey protein isolate is available in three flavors – the Milk Chocolate, which we reviewed; Vanilla Crème, and Wild Strawberry. No…
Burberry has created a fragrance in their Summer that both links itself to their classic perfumes while making a fragrance that perfectly captures its titular season. Burberry Summer is perhaps the best fragrance that we have covered, and this is due to the fact that it contains such a unique blend of different floral, fruit, and other natural elements. No other perfume on the market is able to say so…
Pucker has been a mainstay of a great many college parties over the course of the time that I’ve been floating around college campuses, and I have no doubt in my mind that this will continue. However, Pucker has released a set of vodkas that look to update the brand’s image in 2011. We received a bottle of the Pucker Sour Apple Vodka, which will go head to head with…
Jungle Rot is one of those bands that has been bubbling under the radar for the better part of two decades, and their hard work has been paid off with their 2011 signing to Victory Records. Far from appeasing their new label, “Kill on Command” builds off of a great many of the sounds and styles that were first brought fans during 1997’s Slaughter the Weak and 2004’s Fueled By…
