LG Expo
Monday, December 21st, 2009“Hunchback,” “Chubbs,” “Fatty” — call it what you want, but the LG Expo ($200) is a standard smartphone with a surprising secret: a $180 DLP pico projector that straps to its back, not unlike an “iPhone” made from a cheap Tracfone, an iPod shuffle, and some tape. Apart from the optional rear monstrosity, which can [...]
The Hangover
Monday, December 21st, 2009The premise — crazy Vegas bachelor party they can’t remember and a groom missing — makes you think you’re in for a turd of a movie. But The Hangover ($16-$20) turned out to be one of the funniest of the year thanks to Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helm and Old School director Todd Phillips. The special [...]
Inglourious Basterds
Monday, December 21st, 2009This Tarantino-stamped WWII movie is full of scalps and set-pieces, golems and gore, and is everything you’d want in a kill-Hitler fantasy film. Special features of Inglourious Basterds ($17-$22) include extended and alternate scenes, a roundtable discussion with Quentin Tarantino, Brad Pitt and Elvis Mitchell, the making of Nation’s Pride, and and the original Inglorious [...]
Sam Adams Utopias
Monday, December 21st, 2009Meant to be savored and sipped at room temperature, Samuel Adams Utopias ($150) is only for the most daring of beer connoisseurs. The 2009 batch is the strongest yet, with a staggering 27% alcohol by volume rating (a standard beer is about 5%). The rich, dark, uncarbonated (and world’s strongest) beer is brewed in small [...]
Pernod Absinthe
Monday, December 21st, 2009Add an exotic kick to your cocktail party lineup with Pernod Absinthe ($65). Based on Pernod Fils, the original absinthe produced in the late 18th century, Pernod Absinthe is faithful to the original, offering high-quality ingredients, a light green hue, balanced taste, and a high alcohol content. Just in time for the holidays, it’s also [...]
Bee Raw Honey
Monday, December 21st, 2009Have a Pooh-like affection for honey? Then check out Bee Raw Honey ($80). This set of nine different kinds of honey is a veritable country-wide tour of the sticky stuff, with each hand-corked, beeswax-sealed 1 oz. vial filled with a honey from a specific part of the country, coming complete with a detailed description of [...]
District 9
Monday, December 21st, 2009What do you do when Peter Jackson hand-picks you to direct a movie based on Halo and the project falls apart? You make District 9 ($18), that’s what. Writer and director Neill Blomkamp mixes action, science fiction, documentary-style shots, and a drama-worthy plot into a gritty, compelling film that’s one of the year’s best.
Black DLC Rolex Watches
Monday, December 21st, 2009If you loved the Bamford Black Rolex Watches we wrote about a while back but don’t have quite enough coin to pick one up, consider one of these Black DLC Rolex Watches ($6,000 and up). For roughly half the price of the Bamford, you can get a Submariner, Sea-Dweller, Explorer II, GMT-II, or Milgauss, all [...]
Aston Martin Carbon Black Special Editions
Monday, December 21st, 2009Just in case your normal, standard-issue Aston Martin isn’t cool enough for you, there’s the Aston Martin Carbon Black Special Editions ($TBA). The company’s DBS and V12 Vantage will both get the carbon black treatment which includes a metallic black finish that’s meant to offer a different look in different conditions, carbon fiber-and-Kevlar seats covered [...]
