REEL DEAL: Director Christopher Nolan Pushes The Limits With "INTERSTELLAR"

Humankind has always shaped its destiny by pushing its limits—from the first ships setting sail for the edge of the horizon to the first human steps on the surface of the moon—yet the ultimate frontier remains tantalizingly out of reach. From director/writer/producer Christopher Nolan, “Interstellar” hinges on the provocative question of humanity’s place in the stars.

“To me, space exploration represents the absolute extreme of what the human experience is,” Nolan says. “It’s all about trying, in some way, to define what our existence means in terms of the universe. For a filmmaker, the extraordinary nature of a few select individuals pushing the boundaries of where the human species has ever been or can possibly go opens up an infinite set of possibilities. I was excited by the prospect of making a film that would take the audience into that experience through the eyes of those first explorers moving outwards into the galaxy—indeed to a whole other galaxy. That’s as big a journey as you can imagine trying to tell.”

REEL DEAL: Fast-Rising Young Stars Fears In "OUIJA"

When casting Universal Pictures’ new supernatural thriller “Ouija,” the filmmakers worked to select actors whose performances would make the film grounded in reality.

Termitrol: Stop the ‘colony’ at your own homes

Gone are the days when termite problems are undetected until it’s too late. With different kinds and brands of termiticide sprouting in the market, it is almost impossible not to eradicate the “unwanted” guests under your roofs.

As a homeowner, we rely on professional pest controls to protect our home.PCOs first priority is their client’s trust so it is important that they only use and  choose the most advanced kind of termiticide in the market. 

 In a launching at Richmonde Hotel in Ortigas, JDI introduced a new product called Termitrol, that will help PCO’s eradicate termites.   

Termitrol is a special kind of termiticide that has a “delayed mode of lethal action” or known as a ‘non repellent’ soil termiticide.  This means that upon contact to the poison, termites are not instantly killed, allowing them to pass-on the poison to other termites, which will lead to the elimination of the entire colony.
