video review : Travis [ The True Story Of Travis Walton ]

video review : Travis [ The True Story Of Travis Walton ]

The title implies a full biography, but this documentary, which starts off interestingly but loses its way, is about the one thing Travis Walton is known for; his alleged alien abduction. The incident, which supposedly happened in Snowflake (Arizona) back in 1975, is presented as a True Story, but the evidence is mostly limited to eyewitness accounts from his six logger buddies.

Marketside Blueberry Muffins

Marketside Blueberry Muffins

I don’t generally like Blueberries, but these Muffins, which can be found at your local Walmart, are damn good. That’s mostly because, while the fruit is plentiful, its flavor isn’t overwhelming. It’s mostly the Muffin cake you taste; it’s sweet, soft and fluffy from top to stem; which makes me wonder if they’ll be even better plain.

Great Value Frosted Flakes

Great Value Frosted Flakes

This knockoff version of Frosted Flakes may be a Great Value, but it isn’t “gr-r-reat” like Kellogg’s. It’s surprisingly close though. You have to eat it the same; pour small bowls and chow down before the Flakes get soggy; to get the full experience, but it is comparable. The mascot; a polar bear as opposed to a Tiger; also better utilizes the double meaning in the name.

Noosa Frozen Yoghurt Gelato : Chocolate Fudge

Noosa Frozen Yoghurt Gelato : Chocolate Fudge

The best way to enjoy this Frozen Yoghurt Gelato is to melt it down to a goo. That’s how I prefer to eat most ice creams, but this Chocolate Fudge is especially improved that way as it becomes a lumpy delight. The Fudge bits have the taste and texture of cookie dough in a mug of thick hot cocoa. “Mmm” is right.

audio review : The Love Album [ Off The Grid ] ( album ) … Diddy

audio review : The Love Album ( album ) ... Diddy

This isn’t really a Diddy album in the traditional sense, but it starts like one. When he first raps on the opening Love song; his voice hasn’t changed much after all these years; it brings about a sense of late 1990s nostalgia. Bad Boy was on top of the rap world back then and a major player when it came to the modern soul genre commonly referred to as “R&B”. This is more of a compilation album with strong emphasis on the latter.

There are twenty songs here and every one has a singer on the hook, most of whom are quite famous. That says more about Diddy’s clout than his artistic skills as the mogul bows out of whole songs like he’s still talent scouting for Uptown Records. You won’t fall in Love with most of them; the constant crooning rarely results in memorable melodies; but The Weeknd steals the show with his feature and HER shines on the Space closer.

video review : Alexa Grasso versus Valentina Shevchenko at UFC Fight Night

video review : Alexa Grasso versus Valentina Shevchenko at UFC Fight Night

This is a close fight that results in a draw. Valentina Shevchenko suggests she would’ve won if not for the judges feeling pressured not to make Alexa Grasso lose her Championship title on Mexican Independence Day. A “10-8” Round 5 score for Grasso, which even the commentators imply is ridiculous, suggests she’s probably right.

Grasso wins in cuteness, even when bloody and bruised, but not much else as Shevchenko is generally the better fighter. It’s no blowout though by any means. Grasso fights like a champion, ending the bout with an impressively snappy submission attempt, and seems to think she actually (literally) won during her post-fight interview.

Bang Sweet Ice Tea : Lemon Drop

Bang Sweet Ice Tea : Lemon Drop

I don’t like the taste of Tea nor Lemons, especially the former, so this Bang is, for me, one of the worst. That’s despite the fact that their Sweet Ice Teas are “non-carbonated” thus lack the off-putting sting of regular Bangs. The first sip is quite unsettling, but it does get better as the flavor of Lemonade; this is a drink best served cold; takes over.

Hello Cake Stim For Him Serum

Hello Cake Stim For Him Serum

This gel, made to rub on your or your partner’s penis before sex, is promoted as “a tingling serum for his enhanced play”. The sensation, which isn’t immediately noticeable, is rather underwhelming. Neither is the scent; it smells like Peppermint Patties; conducive to sexual arousal. It makes for a decent lube though.

audio review : 4AM Mulholland | After 4AM ( albums ) … Amerie

audio review : 4AM Mulholland ( album ) ... Amerie audio review : After 4AM ( album ) ... Amerie

This would’ve been better as one full-length album, but at least we get two cover photos of Amerie; she’s nearly 40 but still hot; almost showing her tits. Unfortunately the songs aren’t as risqué as the 4AM theme suggests. It starts with a Curious tease, but the set is more about romantic Love than raunchy sex. Late night highlights include A Heart’s For The Breaking, Give It All Up and the Mulholland title cut.
