[Movie News] “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” Trailer

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Andrew Majors

I’m sure many of my devoted followers will recall a book review I did way back when, called “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” by Tucker Max. And if you don’t remember that, allow me to present you with this once in a lifetime gift, in the form of a link to that (fantastic) review.

Now, as it turns out, our friends in Hollywood decided that this particular book would make for a worthwhile film! I know that books being converted to film is a rare happening, so I feel we should all support these legions of book and screen at ALL times. Yes, that was coated in sarcasm.

Anyway, here’s the trailer:

[DVD Review] Flight of the Conchords: The Complete Second Season

Posted on August 5, 2009 by Casual Clay Cunningham

Overview:

“Flight of the Conchords,” an HBO musical comedy series about a folk parody duo from New Zealand who moves to New York to make it big in America, set the bar pretty high with it’s first season. The show was fresh and insanely funny, proving to be on of the best comedies currently on American television. But as I stated in a previous review (the first review I ever wrote for the site!), the season started with a disappointingly flat first episode.

Well, for my six or so regular readers (for fun I decided to multiply the real total by three) who have been dying to know whether or not the second season picked up steam, your torturous wait is finally over, as “The Complete Second Season” of the series hit DVD shelves this week. Here we go! Continue reading →

[Movie Review] Funny People (Theatrical)

Posted on August 4, 2009 by Andrew Majors

Overview:

There are certain people out there who can’t seem to separate a good, but ultimately disappointing film from a non-quality film. I read other reviews about this film, and because of the talent involved I think people’s expectations were sky high, and rightfully so. Director Judd Apatow has shown an ability to be more hit than miss, Seth Rogen has really evolved into a breakout comedy star, and the film boasts one of the sure Box-Office powerhouses in Adam Sandler. So, with all this going in, how is the actual film? Continue reading →

[Food Review] Volcano Nachos

Posted on August 3, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

The Volcano Menu has recently began to feel stale for me. I’ve eaten countless Volcano Tacos and refuse to meet Taco Bell’s price demands with the Volcano Burrito unless it’s on a special occasion (happy anniversary, honey), and the magic was just starting to fade. Then lo and behold I receive an email from Everyview reader Troy, who runs the stellar energy drink review site edjunkie.com, informing me of the Volcano Nachos. This surprised me because I had been waiting for that Volcano Crunchwrap our friends over at Grub Grade had predicted. Still, I decided to check into it as soon as possible to see what the Volcano Menu had in store for me.

I’ve ordered them, eaten them, and my bowels violently rejected them, so the only thing that’s left is to review them. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s review time. Continue reading →

[The Everyview Update] 08/02/09

Posted on August 2, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Hey guys, I hope everyone is having an awesome Sunday! This week on Everyview we have no major updates to report, but we do believe we secured a new writer. I’m not 100% sure when he’ll start, but if he follows through you’ll see an intro post so make sure you make him feel comfortable whenever you get the chance.

Since I don’t have anything to talk about, make sure you stop by all of our friend sites and give them some love!

Taco Bell launches their new Volcano Nachos! We’ve got a review for these coming out tomorrow, but since I’m sure you can’t wait, go ahead and check out Grub Grade’s awesome review.
Everything I’ve read about Little King’s Story for the Wii has been super positive, and it looks like the game has managed to wow SuperPhillip Central as well!
Just as Taco Bell is building its Volcano Menu, Burger King is adding new Sandwiches to its line of pissed off Angry items. Check out The Impulsive Buy’s reviews.
I’ve never heard of Jagged Alliance, but a high score from The Tancave is enough reason for me to play it.
I hate myself. When I read We Rate Stuff’s review for a film called Moon I kept singing that damned “We Went to the Moon in 1969” song from Even Stevens. I suck.

[Video Game Review] BioShock (Xbox 360)

Posted on August 1, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

System: Xbox 360 (Also on PS3, PC)
Developer: 2K Boston
Publisher: 2K Games
Genre: First-Person Adventure

The majority of people, critics and consumers alike, refuse to believe that video games will ever be considered a true form of art. They claim that games are too crude and shallow to provide a truly inspirational and emotionally satisfying experience. For those people, here’s BioShock. Proof that video games are evolving into something that can be viewed as true art.

Now would you kindly go ahead and read this review. Continue reading →

[Music Review] Portugal. The Man “The Satanic Satanist”

Posted on July 31, 2009 by Andrew Majors

Overview:

I go through these phases where I discover wonderful bands at a breakneck pace, and then I sort of toil around for a bit waiting to see which of the bands will self-destruct, which will find mainstream success, or which ones will put out great music for years to come. Lucky for me I’m in one of my discovery phases right now, and one of the new bands I’ve uncovered for my listening pleasure is Portugal. The Man.

Portugal. The Man definitely and unquestionably have an interesting band name. The name has a background that involves David Bowie and a planned book by one of the band’s members, and it’s obviously an attention grabbing name. I’m actually still a little puzzled as to what it actually means. Continue reading →

[Energy Drink Review] Syzmo Organic Energy Drink

Posted on July 31, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

I’m going to go ahead and be honest with you guys. I usually refuse to taste anything with a label of “Organic” since I had a terribly frightful experience with organic peanut butter. I don’t really want to go into it here, but let’s just say that there was lots of blood, tears, and a great loss of dignity involved.

Organic things just usually suck. I’m not saying all organic products are the pits, but the majority of them are absolutely disgusting when sat next to their chemical-enriched counterparts. And if anything has the potential to go horribly wrong by becoming organic it’s energy drinks. And peanut butter. So much blood… Continue reading →

[Geek News] Cocaine Crashes Comic-Con

Posted on July 30, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Anyone who attended this year’s Comic-Con was treated to this cutie handing out Cocaine Energy Drink. Energy drinks, comic books, and cleavage? Hell yes!

I’m not sure what I’m more interested in, Cocaine Energy or that plad skirt. I love plad. And Skirts.

[Energy Drink Review] Die Hard Sports Energy

Posted on July 30, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

Sports/Energy Drink hybrid products are certainly nothing new. The trend was started with Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator, which was actually the very first sports energy drink on the market. Since its release there have been more and more of these hybrids that are designed to deliver a decent kick while keeping your body hydrated for strenuous exercise, something that standard energy drinks can’t do.

Straight from the can:

Scientifically formulated to deliver effective hydration, responsible energy and natural flavors to ensure optimum performance before, during and after physical activity.

Responsible energy? Sounds boring. Continue reading →
