REEL DEAL: Star Wars Episode 1 - 3D SPOTLIGHT

CONVERTING AN EPIC FRANCHISE INTO 3D: “STAR WARS EPISODE 1 THE PHANTOM MENACE”

The epic adventure “Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace,” from visionary filmmaker George Lucas, captivated global audiences when it first came out in 1999.  The Force is back. But this time in 3D giving the film an immersive dimension and turning it into an altogether richer cinematic experience.        

It’s an experience that will inevitably be thrilling: watching “Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace” 3D on the big screen. The first Star Wars movie to be presented in spectacular 3D, all the exciting elements of the original remain, with  added dimension and nuance.

HEALTHY LYF: Jeunese Anion Sanitary Napkin

Singer-actress-TV Host-fitness advocate Karylle has found the perfect partner to compliment her multi-faceted persona - Jeunesse, the newest line of feminine napkin specifically designed for modern day Filipinas like the It's Showtime host.

Jeunesse, which has an all natural, non-woven, non-irritating material with super absorbent polymer, promises superb absorbency, germ protection, and lasting freshness, asa a result of years of combines research by experts. But what makes Jeunesse really stand out is that it has a scientifically-formulated anion strip that helps reduce odor and feminine discomfort. The strip releases negatively charged ions that neutralises bad odor attracted to positivelty chared ions.

REEL DEAL: Star Wars Episode 1 3D REVIEW

Thought not yet born when the first Star Wars Trilogy was shown, I was able to catch up with its VHS copies back in the 90's. And after  11 years since it was shown in theaters (way back then), the force is back and in 3D in Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace.

If you are a true blue Star Wars fan and you want your kids to experience the epic galactic trilogy in 3D which makes the movie more interesting. 

In this movie, the saga starts in the planet Naboo ruled by Queen Amidala but tensions rise us with the Trade Federation. With Jedi Knights Obi Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, getting involved in the planetary crisis, they go on a mission to help the Queen and all the inhabitants of Planet Naboo.

This also where the Jedis meet the young Anakin Skywalker and his great power within. We also see the dark society of the Sith, and one of those is Darth Maul.  And with the 3D effect on the movie (and vibrating seats) enhancing the experience makes the movie make a lasting impression for first time viewers (like me).
