Life (DVD)
The BBC and the Discovery Channel have a solid track record so far having produced Planet Earth and The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, both surprisingly enthralling documentaries on topics that could easily come off as simply dull.

Herradura Tequila Reposado (80 Proof)
What individuals smell when they first open a spirit, whether it be Tequila, Vodka, Whiskey, or Gin, is not necessarily an indication of what is to follow. This is perfectly encapsulated with Herradura Tequila, which has a strong, biting aroma that immediately assaults imbibers’ noses as soon as the bottle is crack. The color of the spirit seems to be right in the middle of the Reposado range, not as…
You Couldn’t Ignore Me If You Tried by Susannah Gora (Book)
John Hughes has been given God like status by hordes of Gen X 30-somethings like me. His movies spoke to teenagers, not at them, in a way that had never been done before or since. In her completely engrossing study of Hughes and the actors that surrounded him, Susannah Gora has managed to turn a researcher’s eye to a topic that few would have bothered to tackle. In doing so,…
BAD RELIGION ENTER THE STUDIO TO RECORD 15TH STUDIO ALBUM
Three decades after recording their first incendiary songs as teenagers reared in the budding hardcore scene in Los Angeles, Bad Religion are marking their 30 year anniversary with a new record, filled with both the free thinking ire that has fueled the band from the very beginning, and a certain introspection that comes only from long-lived experience. “While we’re celebrating our 30th anniversary as a band this year it’s also…
Boulevard Pilsner (4.8% ABV)
This beer begins its pour in a tremendously effervescent way, which will ensure a solid inch-plus head in a pilsner glass, no matter how carefully individuals pour. The continual bubbliness of the beer is a sight to see, while there is little in the way of nose to speak of. The first taste of the Boulevard Pilsner provides imbibers with two distinct sides. First off, there is a decidedly run-of-the-mill…
Pocket Creatures (iPhone)
Once upon a time, in a land only fourty-five miles away from here, there once lived a young boy. He watched digi-mon, and saw other children of the same age playing with tamagotchi’s. Jealousy grew within the boy, then during that summer he grew up and was no longer interested in having his own little “pocket monster”. Fast forward to today – that boy is now a young man and…

Defendor (DVD)
It is unfortunate that the home video release of Defendor came at a time when the media machine for Kick-Ass was kicking into high gear, as this film will unfairly be linked to the superhero / comedy genre in a way that it should not be. Arthur Poppington (Woody Harrelson) is an absolutely demented individual that thinks that ey is a superhero, shifting into the titular role with a panoply…
True Blood: The Complete Second Season (Blu-Ray)
True Blood has to be one of the most talked-about shows of this new decade, and this is for good reason. Where a number of vampire-themed shows and television shows have been hokey or more intended for a juvenile case, True Blood injects all the drama, sex, and violence that the genre demands. True Blood’s second season is able to succeed due to tremendous arcs and storytelling that were laid…
ModNation Racers (Playstation 3)
There are a number of reasons why individuals should seek out the Playstation 3 version of ModNation Racers. First off, it may just be the catchiest track-racing game since the original Mario Kart, and second off, the sheer amount of customization that players have over their cars and their surroundings far outstrips other racing titles. Just take for example the drivers themselves; where there are oftentimes customization numbers in the…
Daria – The Complete Animated Series (DVD)
Eight years after the animated show Daria ended its five seasons run, the series – tailor-made for Generation X – is finally being released in its entirety. The collection includes the pilot, episodes from all five seasons and a slew of extras. They may have taken their time rolling this one out, but they did it right.
Pinnacle Raspberry (Vodka)
Pinnacle’s flavored line was one of the few that we had not had the opportunity to review at NeuFutur. Where we have reviewed countless other flavored vodkas in the time that we have had the alcoholic section active, Pinnacle’s Raspberry effort is special. Aside from being the first of its brand, it also is the first raspberry-touched spirit that we have covered. The seventy-proof spirit represents a fairly normally-fueled spirit,…
Dragonball Season Four (DVD Box Set)
It has been a long while since I Had the chance to watch any of the original series of Dragonball. I still recall that my sister was a fan of it while we were both in school, so it has been a few years. Funimation has stoked my interest in the show with their re-mastering of the fourth season of Dragonball. This season surrounds the lead up to the major…
Seon Smith Interview
Q: What’s your story? How’d you fall into music and in particular, praise music? I grew up in Trinidad in a hard part of the country. I came to the United States 12 years ago and ended up getting saved and stayed here. I have been singing all of my life but when I was first saved I stopped and just focused on growing in the Lord and on His…
Dirt – Season Two (DVD)
Much like the tabloids it parodies, the Courtney Cox-starring cable show Dirt, is a guilty pleasure: Pure trash, little redeeming valuable, but extremely hard to turn away from. Cox does the nearly impossible playing cold-as-ice Lucy Spiller, editor-in-chief of the glossy celeb tabloid Dirt Now, and manages to actually come off as likeable. She might just be one of TV’s ultimate antiheroes.
Canabalt (PC Game)
Well, you jump, and that’s about it. Doesn’t exactly sound like that intense of a gaming experience right? In fact, at first glance Canabalt looks more like a rejected Atari title than the incredibly innovative and fun little gem that it is. I stumbled on the game about a week ago, and since then have been playing it quite a bit and I have to say, this is one of…
Red Dead Redemption (Xbox 360)
It has been a number of years since Red Dead Revolver came out, and chances are that many players of Red Dead Redemption have likely not played the original title. Regardless of whether individuals have familiarized themselves with the 2004 original, there has been countless work put into this 2010 title. The plot sets players up as the controllers of John Marston, a 1911 ex-con that is looking to take…
Bacardi Torched Cherry (Rum)
It seems as if many cherry-flavored alcohols tend to taste like cough syrup. I’m not sure if companies feel emboldened to go forth and make a half-arsed cherry iteration of one of their products, but it is very common . However, as Bacardi has moved to reinvigorate their brand, whether it be through changing of the cap (to keep the vodka fresher) or giving a more up to date bottle…
