Working out hurts. Practically anyone that has so much has picked up a weight or has ever gotten onto an elliptical can tell you that. The products that are readily available at Target and Wal-Mart simply do not have the power needed to get to deep muscle pains. All Pro Science has released a product in their Complete Relief that goes on easy and works to cool and calm any…
We have reviewed practically every different type of workout supplement under the sun, but have not had the chance to really go and test out some of the more serious ones. Chain’D Reaction is one of these supplements, something that may not be needed by the average Curves or home gym individual. However, it should be seen as a vital purchase for anyone that is attempting to grow muscle mass.…
Transformers: Dark of the Moon is one of the summer’s biggest films. It only makes sense that there would be a video game that was released to capitalize on its success. However, the game is strong and represents a title that will be in my PS3 for months to come. This is because the title looks to flip genre convention on its head, all while providing players with a fun…
The Con Artist has the supreme injustice of being released straight to DVD, rather than receiving a proper theatrical run. This is not due in any fashion to the quality of the picture, and really does speak to the fact that American audiences will not give a movie a chance if it does not contain sufficient star power. The Con Artist is headed up by Rossif Sutherland and Rebecca Romijn…
Dora’s Big Party Pack is the latest release by Nickelodeon, and it is a boxed set that contains three different DVDs – Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure, Super Silly Fiesta, and It’s A Party!. This bundled set gives viewers nearly five hours of material, while ensuring that each of the individual releases continue to contain the material that they did when they were originally released. Each DVD has a video quality…
It is the middle of summer, and the temperatures continue to rise. I know that personally, I do not like heavy beers or alcohol as the mercury climbs. Mike’s Hard Lemonade understands this premise, and has released to the market a Lite effort. While ostensibly to corner the market for those that like the more fruit-based malt beverages but are still watching their figures, I contend that the Mike’s Lite…
G.H. Mumm has been creating champagne since 1827, and represents for many the pinnacle of the champagne style. Unfortunately, I must admit that I was not familiar with the Cordon Rouge before receiving a bottle for review. After opening the bottle, there is a nuanced nose that blends together a number of distinct notes – a bit of citrus, some woodiness, and even a little bit of smokiness can all…
There are a large amount of supplements on the market, and the amount only decreases slightly when it comes to pills that are intended to increase the amount of weight that individuals lose. Where many of these products rely on caffeine for weight loss, Lipolyze’s blend of different materials is a much more holistic and ensures that the weight that is lost is kept off. This is due to what…
The versatility of the ATH-ANC23 phones is considerable. The design of the headphones is such that it is perfect for those that are working out, either on their cardio or their weight days. However, the noise cancelling aspect of the headphones increases their versatility. When this option is switched on, a listener is lost in their own world. The volume needed to bleed through the headphones is nothing less than…
For whatever reason, it seems as if the college scene is single-mindedly obsessed with the beer efforts of the biggest breweries. Whenever we have any sort of get-together at NeuFutur, individuals bring their own Bud or similar product rather than take advantage of our beer selection. Where many of the different brews that we receive are from small-time breweries, we requested Corona for review. The surprising thing about this beer…
I believe that there are more fish oil and omega-containing products on the market than any other sort of health product. Simply put, there is a tremendous amount of variation that is here in terms of quality and what each of these supplements contain. It is thus vitally important to research the differences between these products, and to really understand what one is getting into before purchasing a product. The…
DHEA is one of those supplements that I must admit that I was not too familiar with when we first received product for review. We had heard a lot about it, but nothing about what it was supposed to do. However, we can speak from experience now that it works, and in particular, it affects a number of different parts of an individual. Specifically, DHEA effects how an individual deals…
I come from a period in which headphones had to be large to be good in quality. We received the new headphones from Bang Olufsen, the Earset 3i, for review a few days ago and I was a little skeptical. However, these headphones have a tremendous amount of functionality and should be seen as must-buy for anyone that is in the market for a new pair. There are a number…
Primal Scream is a band that has never gotten the adoration in the United States that they have around the rest of the world. While they have flirted briefly with fame here (2006’s Country Girl is the one track that I can call to mind), the band has continually been making music since 1982. Eagle Vision has placed their Screamdelica Live release onto Blu-Ray, placing a tremendous amount of additional…
It has been a pretty long time since Blindside has cut an album. However, in the four years since they released their last effort, they have done a tremendous job in tightening up their sound and crafting a compelling album. While it is true that the band has been crafting music for nearly twenty years, I feel that there is a freshness to the tracks on “With Shivering Hearts We…
Nick Cave is right up there with Leonard Cohen and the late Jeff Buckley as being one of those musicians everyone claims to love but if you look purely at record sales all three still hover closer to cult status rather than international superstars…which is far from being a bad thing (unless you have to pay a mortgage). If you’ve been resolving to actually listen to Cave versus just nodding…
A hybrid of fact and fiction, Bob Pfeifer’s latest is an impressively original look at secret societies and International corruption in the courtroom, all tied into the real life trial of Amanda Knox. The story is cleverly told through journal entries, interviews and news reports and centers around a hush-hush society of international celebrities called The Strangers (everyone from Dave Grohl and Woodie Allen to Sean Penn and the fictional…
Zuccarin is a product that is made from Japanese Mulberry leaves, and New Nordic claims that the product will go and balance out an individual’s sugar. The logic behind this product is that the leaves hold a large amount of DNJ, which stops an individual’s absorption of sugar into glucose. By doing this, Zuccarin will ensure that one’s sugar does not get too high, no matter what sort of food…
Jazz sits at the juncture between classical and current. Gerald Wilson explores this break by simultaneously working at these two poles. What results is a truly fitting experiment on eirself; listeners will get whom Gerald Wilson is and what influences eir quite nicely. At 92, there is no loss in eir step or sharpness – each of the twelve tracks on “Legacy” are impressive collages of musical interactions that will…
This is the third album that Vasandani has released; this singer has been garnering strong reviews from all sides of the jazz community since 2007. Hi-Fly showcases a singer that can power through traditional jazz tracks and experiment at length. What results is one of the most unique albums that we’ve been able to review, while still showcasing eir skill at every turn. Hi-Fly starts out with “The Very Thought…
