This is the definitive release surrounding the musical side of Andy Williams’ career, with each disc showcasing a different side of the legend. Couple that with a number of great featurettes rounding out the rest of the release, and what viewers will have with this sub-$40 set is something that will do perfectly as a birthday or Easter present.
Mill Creek knows how to pull series from well beyond the grave and provide viewers with an experience that many of them have not had since the show originally aired. For those that were not alive or watching NBC from 1985 to 1987, Stingray was a Stephen J. Cannell (The Rockford Files, The A-Team) production. Provided further energy through the inclusion of a number of different musical interludes, Stingray is…

We are giving away these copies to three randomly-chosen entrants. How do you enter? All we ask is that you email NeuFutur directly (our email is found in the contact section) or comment this post.

Sam Sneed may just be one of the forces in rap music that has been slept on over the course of the last few decades. On “Street Scholars”, Sneed looks to come out from behind the curtain. Despite bringing out the big guns on “U Better Recognize”, Sneed’s goal with “Street Scholars” is to give some up and coming rappers, R&B artists, and other musicians a chance to shine. What…
The real-life exploits of John Wayne Gacy far outstrip in terms of horror any film or any similar type of suspense or thriller celluloid, so it only makes sense that there should be a film made detailing Jason Moss’ look into Gacy’s life and crime. For those not familiar with Moss, ey was a student of criminology (related to criminal justice), and attempted to provide some sort of look into…
By the time the 14th season of E.R. hit the air, the show had long since stopped being water cooler fodder at work the next day, which is a shame because the show had finally hit a comfortable groove. ER proved years ago that it’s not always the actors that make the show. With the exception of maybe Law & Order, no other drama managed to be as successful as…
Laura Roppe is a performer that defies convention. Where it is easy to provide broad comparisons to artists or other influences for many discs, I found myself sitting down and really focusing in to what she attempts to do on “I’m Still Here”. The album begins with “Bail Yourself Out” an effort that blends together country, gospel, rockabilly, and soul into a catchy and splashy introduction to Roppe. Continuing to…
A quick note before the review truly begins – there are a number of different releases that fans of Transatlantic can sink their teeth into. While we are reviewing the 2 DVD version, fans of audio can pick up a 3 CD version and those that wish to have both can pick up a bundled package. Saying that, we were lucky enough to have over five hours of footage from…
While familiarizing oneself with Heliocentric (from April, 2010) would be the best course of action, I am glad to report that the learning curve on Anthropocentric does not require familiarization with Heliocentric. Understanding the overall themes and genre approaches taken by the band on the earlier album would be great, but when the titular opening begins, listeners are brought to an entirely new space.

7 Wonders 2 represents the exact reason why I originally purchased a Nintendo DS. The hand-held, while diverse in the types of games that are present for it, should be used for those doctor’s visits and other time wasting scenarios that pop up from time to time. Mumbo Jumbo is a game company that creates tremendously addictive games, and does so in a way that the replay value never declines.…
I do not take many in the way of supplements. Whether it is because I am lazy or do not like drinking colloidal solutions full of whey or other proteins, I really have no clue. However, Infinite Labs has created a pill in their Phenyl Core that I actually want to take. While marketed as a fat-burner / energy enhancing type of supplement, I feel that bodybuilders will gain some…
Every year, it seems as if there are a number of films that look to cash in on a successful original or first sequel. Many of these films are devoid of solid or interesting content, and seem to be questionably made. For example, Bring It On has spawned a number of sequels while Spiderman 4 looks to be trucking pretty nicely in development. However, Step Up 3 largely avoids many…
There is a sense present among a great segment of the population that those individuals that are into classical music, be it playing or just listening, are somewhat aloof and are not in touch with the rest of society. They Came To Play, a documentary surrounding a number of amateurs looking to win the Van Cliburn Foundation’s Piano Competition, so compelling. When focusing in on each of the different contestant,…
Paper Man is a film that I felt completely went under the radar when it received a limited release in April 2010. MPI is releasing the DVD (and Blu-Ray) of the film, and hopes that the title gains cult status. At a quick glance, the cast is strong enough to match that of a Farrelly Brothers or Apatow flick; Kieran Culkan, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone, and Jeff Daniels all play…
There are a number of games for all current-gen consoles that claim to provide fitness to those that play them. NewU Fitness First Yoga and Pilates immediately comes forth with a sort of focus that none of these other titles have. Furthermore, while the title does not completely avoid traditional types of cardio-based exercises, the variety in exercises that are provided here ensure that players will be able to break…
To celebrate the release of Issues Remix EP and The Dead Masquerade Tour, Escape The Fate has teamed up with neufutur.com to give fans the chance to score a brand new Xbox and Xbox Kinect prize pack! The EP has five remixed versions of Escape The Fate’s hit single, “Issues”, off their recently released self-titled album. Also, don’t miss Escape The Fate in a city near you as they headline…
It takes a hell of a classic sci-fi film to merit such careful restoration, especially one that that seemed largely lost among the scores of other similarly-themed films that were released in the same general period. Robinson Crusoe on Mars benefits from its director, Byron Haskin. Haskin’s previous coup de grace was The War of the Worlds, a film directed over a decade before Robinson Crusoe on Mars’ 1964 release.…
These are anxious times. >From unemployment and embattled governments to mysterious mass deaths of birds and fish, it’s easy to wonder if 2012’s apocalypse won’t come a year early. It’s heady fare for an indie rock record, but somehow the dense soundscapes from Hooray for Earth’s True Loves find a way to float on thin air. “The record is really aggressive sounding, but soft in attitude,” band leader Noel Heroux…
Kingdom Hearts: Re-coded has Square Enix bringing their popular Kingdom Hearts title, coded, off of the mobile phones which it was originally released. This seems to me to be the strongest effort in the series. Where most titles make do with ratcheting up the graphics or game play, this DS port puts all of the dials to 11. Furthermore, unlike the original coded, Re-coded contains all the different chapters that…
