If you are one of those Huneybees who is after spectacular, true-to-life images home cinema experience, the new home cinema projectors by Sony is definitely going to amaze you!

All these models deliver high contrast, detail-packed images thanks to Sony's cutting edge native SXRD (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) panel.
Fyi, SXRD is Sony's propriety Liquid Crystal On Screen (LCOS) video projection technology, which offers much higher contrast ratio than the Digital Light Processing (DLP) video technology offered by its competitors, as well as today's LCD and even Prisma TV displays found in our homes!
Together with the built-in Reality Creation, an impressive resolution processing technology that uses an unique Sony algorithm to perfectly map pixels, Sony's new home cinema projectors promise to provide viewers the consistently crisp images one could only dream of before...

What's more, viewers can enjoy any kind of High-dynamic-range imaging (HDR) content, including HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) for broadcast and online content shows, in addition to HDR10 that is the standard HDR format for UHD.

Here's a quick summary of the three (3) new models introduced:

• The VPL-VW760ES premium laser light source projector in compact design*¹ reproduces stunning 4K HDR images.
• The versatile VPL-VW360ES with adjustable function of image quality is suited for various types of viewing contents.
• The VPL-VW260ES delivers immersive and authentic 4K HDR images with high cost performance.

*¹It measures 496mm in depth which is 40% smaller than current laser light source model, VPL-VW5000ES.

All three (3) feature-packed 4K HDR projectors, from the cost-effective VPL-VW260ES to the premium VPL-VW760ES, have breathtakingly-real picture quality, thanks to Sony's commitment to brings the most ‘true to reality’ images to its customers.

Queen Bee and I were truly blown away after watching several video clips - from Spider-Man : Homercoming to The Story of Earth by National Geographic - projected by the premium VPL-VW760ES as both of us were truly immersed throughout those experience! Now it's time to start saving the money...

Watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Kick Ass This Labour Day!

Hi Huneybees,

Spidey's here to save the day!

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be in cinemas this Labour Day and I was fortunate to have the privilege to catch it tonight, right before everyone else did! I couldn't stop replaying the movie in my head and I knew I would definitely be "swooping" by the cinema for a second round!

It was as though they were playing their usual dating selves in real life.
So much love ~

This second installment was a more solemn one compared to the previous prequel. More emotions were revealed as each character represented one each. For Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), it was the love that tore them apart, loving each other, whilst having a promise to keep. Peter Parker felt so lost, as he was reminded of his dead parents and a soon-to-be lost love, when Gwen revealed that she would be going away.

The super-charged villian Electro (Jamie Foxx), represented the desire for attention, to be wanted and needed, when he thought the world was turning against him, even his idol - Spider-man was not supporting him, he turned this desperaton into ager and wanted to literally turn the city lights out.

As for the introduction of an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) who later turned into Green Goblin, he was filled with desperation as his dying father revealed to him the ugly side of their family genetics, which he would die at a young age.

The revelation of perhaps a cure, saw him doing a silly step, of not only unleashing Electro into the city, but also himself, turned out to be worse than just an ill patient. It reflects the choice one makes, due to fear, desperation and anger, one might choose the wrong path and turn against the world.

That is also why the makeup for the characters were not too cartoon-y,  like painting the Green Goblin green and giving him a witch nose. I liked how they made Harry looked as though he was plagued by a disease, the greenish tone was coming from within and not changing too much of his human form.

Electro on the other hand reminded me way too much of Dr. Freeze, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Batman & Robin (1997), he could be a little more burnt or pale, but hey, it could be just me, who have been watching way too much of the America TV game show - Face Off.

Some might see this emotion play a little too draggy, a little too boring, but for me, it was nice to be able to be see things from the superhero's POV as he reveals his emotions, heroes are humans too, they still need the support of family and love.

Everyone were raving about Jami Foxx's acting in the movie and though I did like how he played Max Dillion as the dorky, unseen engineer, someone else caught my eye...

Dane DeHaan, had that bad vibe, that might have won over James Franco's character . With his glass-ball light blue eyes and his young Leonardo DiCaprio vibe, he got me going "OoOoo" as the other girls were drooling over the "brown doe-eyed" Andrew Garfield.

Big Spidey fans might know what the ending might be like, but for those who don't, you might be in for a tear jerking moment! I can't wait for the 3rd episode as towards the end of the movie, you would be seeing another villian - Rhino (Paul Giamatti) as this might be the groundwork for the introduction of the Sinister Six!

 

So, be sure to catch The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in cinemas this 1 MAY 2014 in 3D and IMAX® 3D!

Switching The Lights Off With Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone And Jamie Foxx

Hi Huneybees,

Last week, my Spidey senses were tingling as I approached The Float @ Marina Bay. I was there for Earth Hour 2014 and this year I got to Lights Out with my fellow Singaporeans right in the heart of Singapore.

This year's campaign - 'Use Your Power' urges people to be a superhero for the planet by pledging to take action and commit to one or more of these 4 simple acts" via http://earthhour.wwf.sg:

• Turn air-conditioning up by one degree
• Switch to LED lighting
• Use fewer plastic bags
• Take shorter showers

Excitement grew tensed as the night turns dark, as the Earth Hour approaches... Coz a special superhero made a special appearance. It was none other than Spider-Man himself as Earth Hour's global Super Hero ambassador.

With him, he brought the cast, director and producer of the upcoming highly anticipated motion picture - The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Everyone were screaming as Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Jamie Foxx walked onto the stage.

They shared about their joy being part of Earth Hour and Andrew got everyone tickled pink as he repeated "Steady Lah" 3 times. He's just so adorable, ain't he?!

At the mention of the Energy Dance Floor, everyone on stage started to dance to the groove and Jamie Foxx brought his daughter and her friend down the other end of the stage to dance right in front of us! He was such a doting dad on his princess, holding her hand and dancing with her...

As the hour drew near, Spider-Man and Mr Panda, pressed on the button to start the countdown to Earth Hour, we stood there counting down, as we watched the participating nearby buildings (Marina Bay Sands, Esplanade, One Raffles Place, Republic Plaza and United Overseas Bank Plaza) swtich off their lights for the hour.

The session ended with the Spider-Man crew on the candle light platform for a photo opportunity and even though they had left, the whole celebration still went on with performances and the audience dancing through the night...

But Saving The Earth doesn't just end there. With Earth Hour 2014, the Eath Hour Blue is launched. It is the first crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platform for the planet, with an aspiration to shift the paradigm of how people raise funds, get support and mobilise others to change the world through the platform for environmental and social projects.

Singapore's very own crowdfunding project "Stop The Killing!" aims to stop animal trafficking in Southeast Asia, targets to raise USD20,000 that will go into the following activities:

• Strengthening wildlife patrols
  By better equipping wildlife rangers, offering them protection and the security of accident and emergency cover, creating a solid defense against poachers on the frontline of species conservation.
  
• Exposing and suppressing the trade
  By focusing on Singapore that we are targeting our efforts on one of Asia's major wildlife crime trafficking points. Your funds will support operations to monitor the illegal sale of animal parts and expose those responsible to the law, in particular to the crackdown on the illegal sale of saige antelope horn.
  
• Reducing consumer demand
  Crowdfunding can help us educate and change opinion through the mobilisation of awareness campaigns.
