Highly Explosive Actioner "The Prince" packs a Powerhouse of cast

Axinite Digicinema brings the high-octane non-stop actioner “The Prince” in local cinemas starring Bruce Willis, Rain, Jason Patric and John Cusack  in an unrelenting action film that forces a retired crime boss back into the seedy underworld he’d left behind.

Directed by Brian A. Miller, known for his film-noir and cutting edge work in the action thrillers “Officer Down” and “The Outsider,”   “The Prince” brings the audience in the gritty underworld of revenge-seeking gangsters.  The movie finds Paul Brennan (Patric) twenty years after his retirement, a retired New Orleans crime boss, has lived a quiet life off the grid, running an auto repair garage in remote Mississippi. When his teenage daughter goes missing, Paul is forced to return to the city and face his former enemies. With the help of his daughter’s friend Angela (Jessica Lowndes), Paul comes face to face with Omar (Willis), the city’s most powerful man whose family he mistakenly took out, in an explosive final standoff that may offer redemption for Paul’s past mistakes.

“The Prince” will open very soon in theatres nationwide this September 10 from Axinite Digicinema.

Celebrate Iced Tea month with Nestea!

In celebration of Iced Tea Month, we trace the glorious history of our beloved drink. Iced tea, despite the folklore, was not discovered by accident. It can be dated back to the 18th century in South Carolina, the only place in the United States at that time to produce tea plants. The first iced tea ever made was called Ice Tea Punches because they were heavily spiked with alcohol and were made with green tea leaves, not black.

The first traditional iced tea was introduced in 1879 in Old Virginia, with a recipe by Marion Cabell Tyree. She was the first to include lemon in iced tea. Soon after, it became popular and everyone followed suit. Thus, the traditional iced tea was born, and the rest, as they say, is history.

“Channeling” – You're only live once

In today’s social-media obsessed and advertising-driven world, the upcoming thrilling film “Channeling” brings a thought-provoking commentary on the possible path of destruction on the way we currently channel our lives.  It introduces us into a world where people have begun live-casting.  Using a camera in the form of a contact lens, people begin sharing every part of their lives. Some lives are more exciting to watch than others.

Written and directed by Drew Thomas, “Channeling” tells the story of a soldier who returns home for his brother’s funeral to find that his older sibling’s death is mired in a mystery involving social media “eyecasting,” where a user places a contact lens with a camera on their eye and broadcasts everything they do.  The more hits you get on your “channel” the more sponsors you can acquire.  This spawns casinos where gamblers can bet on people’s life events and unscrupulous channel producers who try to spice up the action on their eyecaster channels.

Winner at the recent Phoenix Film Festival as Best Sci-Fi Feature, “Channeling” opens July 2 in local cinemas nationwide from CrystalSky Multimedia.

Check out the thrilling trailer here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34untXf56ko&feature=youtu.be

Reader's Digest Trusted Brands Award 2014, Recognizing the products that make a difference

TRUST. Five letters that spell the difference between succeeding and building the legacy of a company. Much like any kind of relationship, trust is something that is not so easily achieved, yet has become invaluable in today's rapidly changing landscape.

There is no doubt that for business, trust is a form of currency. It underpins the perceived value a brand enjoys. If a product doesn't deliver what it promises, or what it has done on previous occasions, then there are many alternative products waiting to lure away its customers. But when a brand does deliver, consumers feel a sense of trust and are more likely to support it – and to continue buying it in the future.

Once trust is established, it becomes an instinctive response – the consumer buys the brand without so much as a second thought because it is "their" brand.
