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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
Unwritten Law has been around for a hell of a long time. They first played music together all the way back in 1990, while “Blue Room”, their first album, was released in 1994. Over the course of these last twenty-one years, Unwritten Law has allowed their style to evolve and change considerably. What results in “Swan” is the band’s best-balanced album to date. The album begins with “Starships and Apocalypse”,…
Viewers have to understand that Sharktopus is not a movie that takes itself seriously. When viewers do that, they can begin to know what makes it such a fun flick. This new Roger Corman-produced film begins with a shark / octopus hybrid breaking free from the Navy and beginning to wreak havoc on a surfer’s haven in Mexico. In the desire to restore order, a number of Navy troops are…
Bands like Journey and Styx may have hijacked the 70’s nostalgia movement, but it’s musicians like Leon Russell that prove that decade was a lot more than tight jeans, poufy hair and neutered arena rock, dripping with saccharin. Lyrically Russell’s right up there with Bob Dylan and Neil Young with a voice just as distinctive as… well Bob Dylan and Neil Young. The 16 track Best of Leon Russell collection…
The absolutely beautiful transfer of The Mikado is well worth the purchase price of the movie, even without the number of additional features that Criterion has bundled alongside it. The Mikado is the 1939 D’Oyly Carte Opera version of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, which linked together masterful performers like John Reed, Phillip Potter, Valerie Masterson, and Christene Palmer. Schertzinger’s direction of The Mikado links together softly-spoken (or sung) musical…
