Finaflex Pro Xanthine (60 Capsules)

This is the first product that we have been lucky enough to review from Redefine Nutrition. Simply put, it is one of the best weight loss and energy-providing supplements that we have used yet. The versatility of Pro Xanthine means that individuals just wishing to lose pounds will benefit just as much as those that are doing a focused and sustained cutting phase in their workout regimen. An individual just…

Tom Shaner – Get Real or Get Gone (CD)

There are few singer-songwriters that are able to create something that successfully marries the rich tradition brought the genre by luminaries like Dylan and Cohen in the sixties with a vitality and vibrancy that is germane to current audiences. However, I believe that Tom Shaner does just that on his new recording, Get Real or Get Gone. This disc begins with “Waltz 13”, a track that does more than merely…

The Way Back (Blu-Ray)

The Way Back is a film that covers ground that has been trod fairly often; World War II. Furthermore, this is a title that focuses on the escape of prisoners from a Soviet prison camp. Saying that, what Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe, Legend of the Guardians), Colin Ferrell, and Ed Harris do in The Way Back is create a realistic and extremely fun title.

In the last few years, Pearson has been honing eir craft. 2011’s Last of the Country Gentleman is eir first solo effort, but the keen edge created over the last decade immediately will strike listeners. The album begins with “Thou Art…

TRON: Legacy 3D (5-Disc Blu-Ray)

This is the definitive collection for anyone that is into the storyline or special experience that TRON brings them. Where many releases only require a single Blu-Ray (possibly 2 if there are a number of additional features), Disney has ensured that they provide viewers with a tremendous amount of information. This 5 disc Blu-Ray set has the best special feature ever – a remastered version of the original 1982 TRON.…

Bodyminder

Before using the Bodyminder, I pretty much just jotted down my workout on a piece of paper and hoped that it did not get lost. The Bodyminder is the perfect addition to the workout, as it ensures that exercise-minded individuals will be able to continually build their workouts up. Each part of the book has a tremendous amount of information to jot down, whether it be whether the individual stretched,…

Let Your Emails Fly With Sparrow

It has been said, time and again, that Mac’s “are the computers for the rest of us.” And while this is a true statement, there are a few select things about OSX that could use some updating. It is also true that OSX is about to get a new update this summer, Lion (for those keeping track), and with said update some of the basic Apps will be re-imagined; the…

Obits – Moody, Standard, and Poor (CD)

The Obits’ first album was 2009’s I Blame You, an album that distinguished the band considerably from Hot Snakes, Rick (lead’s) prior band. 2011 brings the release of a new album, Moody, Standard, and Poor. Moody, Standard, and Poor brings forth a considerably different sides to The Obits, while linking each of the album’s 12 tracks to the band’s prior releases.

The Asylum Session (DVD)

Few films that are created for the 3D market really seem to shine in regards to storyline. However, The Asylum Session does not require parlor tricks or other googahs to keep viewers interested. This hour-long title surrounds the actions taken by a number of homeless youths that take residence in a stadium. Creating community and a sense of family amongst the members of The Asylum, plans to tear down the…

Barista Prima Italian Roast K-Cup (24 Count)

We were able to receive a Keurig machine for review a few months back, and we received a sample box of the Barista K-Cups for review soon after that. While we had a few favorites in the sample box that was provided with the machine, I feel that the Barista Prima K-Cups are a little more nuanced and intense than what was provided us. These K-Cups are more for the…

SideFolders; or How To Do Things On The Sly (Mac)

Ever since the Apple made the Mac AppStore, I have made it a habit to go trolling through the different lists to find Apps that would make my Mac-loving-readers lives a little easier. On one such adventure, trudging through the endless deluge of crapware, I discovered a few gems. Among the list was the App; SideFolders. Said App is a wonderful way to gain access to commonly used folders and…

Fiddler on the Roof (Blu-Ray)

This is the last version of Fiddler on the Roof that you need to buy. This is because Fox has provided every single thing fans of this 1971 film adaptation of the Broadway musical could want. First off, the transfer from the original source over to the Blu-Ray format has been done masterfully, blending a slightly dark print with a stunningly sharp (for the age) focus. The audio is the…

Fantastic Pets (Xbox 360)

This title requires a Kinect to play, so make sure that if this game is a purchase that the giftee has one. Saying that, Fantastic Pets is a tremendous title and should be seen as an essential purchase for any young one that likes to play dress up or otherwise customize their stuffed animals, dolls, or the like. There is a feel always present to Fantastic Pets that one has…

Morgan Bracy – End of Cinderella (CD)

It seems as if a number of female singers have given up any desire to be unique and largely morph together into one bland mess. Morgan Bracy, during her “End of Cinderella”, looks to destroy this trend. “Between the Covers” is a track that works on a number of levels, whether it be country, pop, and even rock genres. Bracy’s soft vocals will bring listeners in by the barrelful, while…

FUZE (16.9 Fl. Oz)

There are a number of different fruit-flavored drinks that are on the market that command a hefty price. Odwalla, for example, charges $3 for a bottle of their juice. FUZE is able to halve that price ($1.59 suggested retail) and include a variety of juice for a wide array of interested customers.

GAT Jetfuel Pyro

GAT Jetfuel Pyro is the first energy-providing supplement that I have taken that has been captured in a liquid, rather than dry, format. We were able to experience Jetfuel Pyro for a total of 40 days, completely exhausting one of their 120 count bottles. Jetfuel Pyro may just be the best thermogenic product that I have ever taken, for a number of reasons. The 4-part multi process that is present…

Norwegian Wood: Original Music By Jonny Greenwood (CD)

With the decreasing effect that a band like Radiohead can honestly have in music, it only makes sense than a musician like Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead’s guitarist) will be trying to increase eir versatility. This is done well with eir soundtrack for Norwegian Wood, a Japanese film set in the early sixties that focuses on a couple that is tremendously affected by the death of one of their mutual friends. Charged…
