When one is making a protein shake, there are a tremendous amount of different options to be had. Whether it is whey, hemp, pea, or any one of a number of different protein sources, there seems to be a tremendous amount of differentiation between these types. The simple fact is that humans typically need a whole heap more protein than they traditionally get in a normal day, and this need…
There are a considerable amount of protein shots that are currently available on the market. A number of them provide a decent serving of protein, but do it with a horrible taste or too small of an amount of protein to really mater. However, the Liquid Morph+ by iSatori is one of those products that considerably raise the bar. When one looks at the vial of Liquid Morph+, what immediately…
Coming across as a modern day version of That’s Incredible! or Ripley’s Believe It or Not, at least once in every episode of Stan Lee’s Superhumans there’s an “is that real?” moment. Co-hosted by Stan Lee – creator of comic heroes like The Hulk, X-Men and Spiderman – the show centers on real people with real, if odd, physical abilities, like being able to withstand extreme heat or conduct electricity…
Five years seems like a long time to wait nowadays for a new record, when any laptop can convert into a portable recording studio, but Nicole Atkins gets a pass. On Mondo Amore, the first real follow up of new music to her 2006 debut (the EP released in 2009 was all covers), Atkins ratchets up everything from the writing to the music, turning in an effort that eclipses her…
It was a little over a year ago when I first picked up a copy of Pat’s book, ‘Name of the Wind,’ the first book of his fantasy trilogy. At first, I was reluctant to give a new author a chance. I had been a long time fan of a number of writers, and had a pile of their works collecting dust on shelves, or hidden in bins. A new…
When it is compared to the amount of running, weight-lifting, cardio, or any sort of exercise an individual may do, scooping out a load of protein powder seems like a lot of work. However, Twinlab’s new product, Power Fuel, has made it much easier to get the benefits from the workout that you truly need.
When it comes to getting protein in our systems for a hard workout (either after or before), we typically use a traditional protein powder in a water (or soy milk) suspension. We received some samples of New Whey Liquid Protein from IDS Sports, and have taken quite a liking to them. This is due to a number of features. First off, 3.8 ounces of the liquid protein contains 42 grams…
Dolemite is a blaxploitation film from 1975 starring Cleveland, Ohio born actor Rudy Ray Moore. Dolemite is crime fighting, butt kicking, all around pimp. In the beginning of the movie you see our hero being released from incarceration. He was set up by his greatest competitor Willie Greene played by D’Urville Martin.
Ever wanted to take notes on top of power point, I mean hand written notes? Ever wanted to draw on your Mac to help someone with a tutorial? I have too! Luckily for the both of us, there is such a thing as DeskScribble. This App does exactly like you would imagine after hearing it’s name, it allows you to scribble all over your desktop. Not only your desktop though;…
The New York Dolls are at least as much of an institution as the Rolling Stones, but are actually still able to create an album that hangs with current bands. Listeners will be assured of that the second that “Fool For You Baby” starts. Capturing the same magic that made their early albums so classic, there seems to be an intensity in each of the album’s tracks that showcases a…
We receive a number of different beers for review at NeuFutur. However, a great many of these brews seem to be paint by numbers. Independent breweries have a sort of hivemind when it comes to the styles and tastes that are popular, and rarely deviate from that perception. Saying that, it truly is exciting when we receive a beer that breaks the mold. This beer is Trumer Pilsner, and it…
Blow Out is a 1981 film that stars John Travolta as an unwitting witness to an assassination; set in Philadelphia, this film is full of intrigue and will have listeners on the edges of their seats throughout. The use of color and darkness in Blow Out is perhaps the strongest side of the title, and is something that simply looks fantastic in this Criterion release. This is because the company…
In this time of rapidly-increasing gas prices, it is important to view a film like Gashole and see exactly why they are what they are. This is not a documentary that merely focuses on the present, but looks into the history of the United States and its fascination with oil and gasoline. To properly flesh out this story, the creators of Gashole place this question in the larger context of…
Funimation has done a tremendous amount of working trying to get all of the One Piece episodes captured onto DVD in the last few years. This April, 2011 release sees episodes 196-205 captured, with the “marathon play” option perhaps being the most interesting inclusion of them all. This “marathon play” feature allows viewers that may have a few hours to watch the show the ability to cut straight to the…
I find that there are two distinct types of fans of Fox’s Glee. There is a decided side of the fans that like the show for the narrative quality it contains, and there are those people that are much larger fans of the musical numbers that the cast does. Glee: Encore is a DVD (and Blu-Ray) release that captures just these musical numbers, excising any of the plot or other…
So, a brief story about this release. We had a reviewer at NeuFutur that requested this title. They flaked out. I took over and finally found a copy of the album, and have been spinning it nonstop since then. Piano Red is nothing less than Atlanta blues royalty, and The Lost Atlanta Tapes represents recordings that were previously deemed lost.
There is little information present online about the HD Cinema Classics label. In fact, after giving Dementia 13 a spin, the only thing that I know about the company is that they are looking to become a major force in giving forgotten-about films the light of day. Dementia 13 is one of the examples of this; Francis Ford Coppola’s first film is cleaned up and given its proper chance to…
Ever since Lester Bangs OD-ed in 1982, there’s been a massive void in the role of “well-known rock music journalist”. Neil Strauss, thankfully, has finally come along to fill that role well. If there were any doubt after reading his legendary Motley Crue book The Dirt (not to mention the other rock bios he’s helped pen for Marilyn Manson and Dave Navarro), Strauss’s latest Everyone Loves You When You’re Dead,…
Never assume that the quality of jeans is limited to those types that are available in normal department stores. I nearly did that with Wrangler, and I am glad to admit that I gave their Wrangler Premium Performance jeans a spin. I’ve been lucky enough to lose a substantial amount of weight over the last eight months, so the jeans that I had were ill-fitting. The three pairs of jeans…
Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers may just be the largest band we’ve ever reviewed without a Wikipedia. I am confident that as soon as listeners can give “Teenage and Torture” a fair shake, that those in the know at Wikipedia will fall over themselves creating a page for them. This band has had one previous recording – 2009’s A Fish Hook An Open Eye – which set the stage…
