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.

The Quartet has toured extensively since the September release of Mirror both in…

Myself and the wife like Greek food. While we have some love for the gyro or the generic Mediterranean food shop (check out South Side 6 in Bowling Green, Ohio or Continental Grill in Kent, Ohio), pure Greek food is hard to get. Pure Greek food that is actually well-made and cheap is even harder to get. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on NeuFutur as Sargeant, is the founder and editor-in-chief of…

We have had some form of television service for the last few years at the apartment, but I feel that there have been some problems with our cable service. First off, the cost of cable service is absolutely astronomical, while the selection of channels simply is not good. There are also some problems with the amount of different shows that we can record, while one cannot even go and have…
There are a tremendously large amount of stores that one can shop when they go online. However, there are precious little in the way of clues that potential shoppers may have when they begin to navigate. Luckily, there are a few web sites that individuals can use to find exactly what they want. For my money, though, the best of these sites has to be ShopWiki UK. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing…
