Special Offer – Men In Black III
 
|
Just thought that I’d mention that yesterday’s re-release of MIB and MIB II on DVD and Blu-Ray in Canada and the United States includes a $10 off coupon code for MIB III theater tickets.
The specially marked discs have a blue and gray sticker on them and though I purchased the Blu-ray discs at a local store, it appears that the UPC codes match with May 1st, 2012 releases sold by Amazon.ca Though also released on May 1st, the Amazon.com Canadians and Americans will be able to redeem their e-Movie Cash codes starting on May 23rd, 2012, when the Movie Cash site is officially opened. The Canadian codes can be redeemed at Cineplex Theaters across Canada as long as MIB III is in these theaters. UPDATE : These codes can also be redeemed at Empire Theaters. |

RIP Billy Bryans 1949-2012
This morning I was saddened by the news that drummer percussionist Billy Bryans had passed away at the age of 63 after a lengthy fight with lung cancer.
In 1979 he had co-founded one of my favorite Canadian bands, The Parachute Club, which scored numerous hits in Canada and abroad in the 80’s with their reggae seasoned pop and rock including “Rise Up” and “At The Feet Of The Moon“. And since the late 80’s he has become a world renown producer and engineer in the Cuban music scene.
He was truly an innovator and will surely be missed.
Earth Day 2012

It’s Earth Day. And multiple stores like Amazon.ca and Amazon.com have set up shops dedicated to Nature themed and Eco-friendly products.
Being partial to green technology, I love browsing these shops to see the latest gadgets, to see how far consumer products have progressed. Many LED light bulbs There is some progress in regards to Li-ion batteries though ; I purchased an energy efficient media player Another major seller on Earth Day are documentaries. Though I love nature documentaries like “March Of The Penguins I prefer in-depth and productive films, that offer theoretical and hopefully viable solutions to today’s environmental issues. And when I do watch the National Geographic I’ve also recently encountered film company Amos TV, which produces scenic videos that stream to hotels, Google TV compatible devices and select Samsung televisions & Blu-ray players. Their high definition films are incredible and feature equally incredible instrumentals. And these films are of course available via their official site (AMOS TV – A New Experience in Ambient Media. By the way Alliance Films have released special versions of “Food Inc. Some proceeds from the sale of these films will be given to Earth Day Canada for their year round programs. |
