Ceremony (Blu-Ray)

I was unfamiliar with the works of Max Winkler, the progeny of Henry Winkler, before I picked up a copy of this Blu-Ray. However, there seems to be the same dedication for filmmaking and for telling an interesting story as eir father. This is because Ceremony is a rare example of a film that defies convention at all sides – the film originally was released on Demand TV rather than…

Boondock Saints: Truth and Justice Edition (Blu-Ray)

When it comes to the top movies of the late nineties, I believe that Boondock Saints would be high up on anyone’s list. However, Boondock Saints has not received an exhaustive Blu-Ray treatment to this point. Fox has noticed that and has released a new Blu-Ray for Boondock Saints – the Truth and Justice Edition this month.

Smartwater (Water)

It still boggles my mind that there is such variation in the quality of bottled water. Perhaps it is due to the lack of sturdy standards for the bottled water industry or is just a lack in quality owing to the $4/case cost of the product. However, Smartwater is able to create an impressive product while still making it available to a wide subset of the population. The vapor distillation…

N-Secure (Blu-Ray)

N-Secure is a film that shows the breakdown of neat freak David Washington (Cordell Moore). With every action in eir life being required to be scheduled in advance, it only is a matter of time before eir girlfriend Robin (Essence Atkins) needs a little love. David ultimately proposes to Robin (being the right thing to do rather than being purely out of passion), a move that further alienates Robin. The…

Attack of the Killer Facts! (Book)

Attack of the Killer Facts! has 320 pages of sheer insanity to it. Specifically, the author Grzymkowski has delved deep to inform eir readers about the existence of goat-sucking vampires, crazy types of food, aliens, and even how individuals have perished due to home goods. Rather than furthering urban legends, Grzymkowski has tirelessly cited information for each one of the facts.

ElectroAmino (Amino Acids)

I really like ElectroAmino, a new product from High Energy Labs. While amino acids come in a number of forms (we’ve reviewed powders and pills in the past), High Energy Labs has placed them into a chewable tablet format. Each bottle of ElectroAmino contains 120 tablets (30 servings) and can be purchased for a hair under $30. However, the value that is present in each bottle of ElectroAmino makes this…

Bachelorette – Bachelorette (CD)

I must admit, I was not too terribly familiar with New Zealand recording artist Annabel Alpers before receiving eir Bachelorette disc a few weeks back. From the disc’s opening salvo “Grow Old With Me”, Alpers makes me want to search out the rest of eir music. There just seems to be an unique flair to this disc that distinguishes it from other similar sorts of releases. The tracks themselves have…

Cars 2 Soundtrack (CD)

I have little doubt in my mind that Cars 2 is going to be the biggest childrens’ movie of the summer. Regardless of what is present in the movie and what tracks are used, the flick is going to go gangbusters. However, Disney has created a soundtrack that further revs up the film, and will be some part of the reason why the film will do so well. The score…

Almighty Thor (DVD)

Thor was one of the biggest films of the year, and it is not surprising that The Asylum has created a title that looks to take some of Thor’s thunder. The mythology is incredibly rich; if the directors of Almighty Thor did not use the Marvel comic for influence, there are hundreds of stories from Norse mythology that could be adopted. Saying that, Almighty Thor is a film that is…

About Time Mocha Mint Protein (Whey Protein Isolate)

There are a number of companies that are attempting to make the best possible protein, both in terms of taste and in regards to sheer muscle building. Many of their products turn out to be passable, but only few are able to come forth and be definitively the best product. About Time has a line of proteins that I feel to be some of the best in the world. This…

Gerber Answer XL (Knife)

As it is getting to be the height of summer, we at NeuFutur wanted to add to our website and magazine and include outdoor-themed reviews. We could not imagine providing our introductory coverage for this section to a better company than Gerber. We received an Answer XL knife for review from Gerber and feel that it is a very solid product. The knife itself has a spring-loaded release that allows…

Squidbillies – Volume Four (DVD)

Squidbillies is by far the best cartoon depiction of redneck, inbred squids living in the Georgia’s Appalachian Mountains since… well ever. The Adult Swim show packaged in tidy 10 minute episodes was conceived by the same brains behind Adult Swim staple Aqua Team Hunger Force, so if that show has you scratching your head, it’s probably best to skip Squidbillies. Your loss though, unless you can find another adult-targeted cartoon…

MRM Reload (Amino Acid)

Ensuring that you have the correct balance of supplements and proper vitamins, acids, and chemicals to foster muscle growth and continued health is a hard thing to do. There are a tremendous amount of books currently on the market that look to provide some sort of information about this, but they seem to vary as much as the authors’ names on the spine do. However, there seems to be one…

Pros and Ex-Cons (DVD)

We reviewed a title a few days back that received a DVD release long after the film was finished. Pros and Ex-Cons, starring Sam Worthington, is another of these types of films. This Australian film is full of energy and showcases a much younger (and more handsome) Worthington in the lead role. The film touches upon a number of films in the action genre, whether it be Pulp Fiction, Die…

You Must Go and Win by Alina Simone (Book)

Given the paint-by-numbers memoirs that are being churned out at an alarming rate lately by rock stars that reveal just about nothing, it’s refreshing to read a collection of essays by a little known indie folk singer who reveals more about herself via humor than the recent works of Belinda Carlisle, Vince Neil and Scott Wieland combined. In You Must Go and Win, Alina Simone opens up about her childhood…

S.A.N. BCAA-Pro 5000 (Amino Acids)

I have just started to use amino acids in preparation for working out. I was unsure of the value that they had, but was able to read a few books about the subject and feel that it is what will bring my workout to the next level. Amino acids are what allow muscles to recuperate faster, and as such, allow for better and more sustained muscle growth. The SAN BCAA-Pro…

The Boy Friend (DVD)

We’ve covered Warner Archive titles in the past, but we cannot say enough about the company. By releasing a number of films in their vault with little more than a re-mastered version of their original, they are able to keep the price of the movie down while making previously forgotten films accessible to the wider public. The Boy Friend is one of their latest releases, a re-release of a 1971…

Material Issue – International Pop Overthrow 20th Anniversary Edition (CD)

Chicago’s Material Issue is one of the best power pop bands to come out of the 90’s and there were a slew of decent bands from that genre in the 90s. International Pop Overthrow, the band’s first major label (and finest )release is finally getting the anniversary treatment, complete with a slew (eight to be exact) of bonus tracks including a live version of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Boxer” and…

Sheryl Crow – Miles From Memphis Live at the Pantages Theatre (DVD)

Sheryl Crow has been around for a number of years, but to be honest, I never understood all of eir allure. It is really after watching Miles From Memphis that I have begun to realize exactly how talented ey is. Sheryl Crow’s performance of a number of eir classics – . There are a few bonus features here that further increase the “must-have” quotient of the DVD. Aside from soundcheck…
