Love’s Kitchen (DVD)

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)…

Hunky Blues (DVD)

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…

Prolab Whey Isolate (32 Ounces)

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 Summer (Perfume)

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 Sour Apple Vodka

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 – Kill on Command (CD)

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…

U’luvka Vodka

There are a number of vodkas on the market, and it becomes hard at a point to come forth with one that actually shines among the rest of the chaff. U’luvka Vodka is one of the few that will immediately have people take notice – the unique shape of the bottle will be what first brings fans in. The kink on the neck of the bottle showcases how U’luvka differs…

Natural Calm (Sleep)

There are a number of distinct supplements on the market that attempt to ensure the most fulfilling and refreshing sleep that an individual can have. At some point, they all succeed in providing a more efficacious alternative to the Benadryl-based pills. This is due to the fact that they do not saddle individuals with the same sort of long-lasting funk that is present with the Benadryl-based brands. There are four…

Seun Kuti – From Africa With Fury: Rise (CD)

With the increasing interconnectedness of the world, it becomes easier to find musicians that are creating some impressive music no matter where they may reside. Seun Kuti, from Nigeria, is a perfect example of this phenomenon. Originally breaking on the scene with 2007’s “Think Africa”, “From Africa With Fury” represents eir first release on Knitting Factory Records. The previously mentioned interconnectedness increases when one hears the production on “From Africa…

Captain Morgan Private Stock (80 Proof)

I understand that there are rums on the market that will set one back a pretty penny, but I find that most of the selection that is present at a local liquor store is limited to the under-$50 bracket. It becomes much more of a chore to figure out which of these rums are worth trying, and when it makes more sense to just go cheap. We were able to…

Jonathan Edwards – My Love Will Keep (CD)

Jonathan Edwards has been creating music for a period of time longer than a great many listeners have been alive. Eir career gradually got larger during eir stint in Sugar Creek, while many casual listeners may be familiar with Edwards’ music through “Sunshine”. “My Love Will Keep” is the first album that Edwards has released for over 12 years, and represents further maturation and evolution of the music that ey…

Schiff Sweet Slumber (Sleep)

With the sheer amount of different sleep aids on the market, it becomes hard to find the best one. Where natural sleep aids typically collect the same types of herbs, they do bundle them differently and in different amounts. The efficacy of these different supplements does vary, despite each of the herbs that they contain having some noticeable effect on ensuring that individuals go to sleep. Of these different sleep…

Perpetual Peace (DVD)

Peace is an interesting concept. Despite being a nation that prides itself on peace, the United States has gotten in to a tremendous amount of war. The idea of peace is something that is poorly defined; this is why the Perpetual Peace Project has gotten together to create this DVD. By trying to tease out what peace means, both in terms to individuals as well as in a philosophical sense,…

William Elliott Whitmore – Field Songs (CD)

“Field Songs” is the fifth album by William Elliott Whitmore, and it provides listeners with some of the most touching and compelling music of Whitmore’s career. The tracks on Field Songs unite into one cohesive entity – while the different tracks on the album can be enjoyed alone, I feel that there are is a considerable amount of intertrack interplay that one has to listen to to properly get what…

ER: The Complete 15th Season (DVD Set)

ER: The Complete 15th Season captured the final episodes of the venerable show, which all originally aired in 2008 and 2009. These twenty-two episodes tie together a number of the loose ends that had been presented viewers over the course of the show, while still having time to create cutting-edge medical drama. Where the 14th season had seemed to sputter due to the writer’s strike, the 15th season immediately hits…

Heather O’Neill – A Feminist Manifesto (CD)

“A Feminist Manifesto” begins with “Ballerina”, a spicy track that soars on the back of some sizzling horns. O’Neill’s vocals during “Ballerina” benefit from challenging time signatures and a style that touches upon pop, rock, and even country and blues in their execution. What is one of the most exciting sides of “A Feminist Manifesto” has to be the inclusion of stellar musicians to lay down the instrumental backdrop for…

Up Your Gas (Energy)

There are just so many different energy supplements that are currently on the market that it becomes difficult to figure out how they differ, both in terms of composition and quality. While the caffeine side of things feels pretty standard, there are literally hundreds of different compounds that can increase the amount of energy that an individual has. Up Your Gas may just have the most comprehensive amount of these…

Monk’s Blood (Beer)

Since we have started the beer reviews section at NeuFutur. I feel that our love for the stuff has drastically decreased. This is likely due to the fact that a great number of breweries create efforts that are not too terribly offensive. However, we have received a beer in the 21st Amendment Brewing’s Monk’s Blood that really recreates our love for the stuff. This beer comes out of the can…

Bushnell BackTrack D-Tour (Personal GPS)

Anyone that knows me knows that I have absolutely no sense of direction. I believe that I can continue having no sense of direction just as long as I have the Bushnell BackTrack D-Tour. This personal GPS is cheaply priced (around $100-125) and provides buyers with a way out of any geographical trouble that they may be in. There are other low cost handheld gps available in the market today that…

Pharmacopia Aromatherapy Body Lotion

Pharmacopia Aromatherapy Body Lotion is perhaps the best body lotion that we have used, and there are a good many reasons for why that is. The fragrance is what will immediately lure individuals in. The Pharmacopia Aromatherapy Body Lotion line contains two efforts – Citrus and Lavender – that are mild while still having an assertive fragrance. The ability of these body lotions to spread is without fault – a…
