3D TV Glasses – LG Cinema 3D Family Pack

Bestbuy's LG Cinema 3D TV Deal

In bestbuy.com, if you purchase any LG TV out of (55LM5800; 55LM6200; 47LM6700; 55LM6700; 47LM7600; 55LM7600), you will receive this family pack (a $149.99 value) for free together with the regular 6 pairs of 3D glasses come with the TV set. All in all, you will be equipped with 12 3D glasses as a total, enough to host 3D movie/sports/gaming nights.

LG Cinema 3D Glasses Family Pack

LG Cinema 3D glasses family pack includes two sets for adults, two sets for kids and two pairs of clip-on 3d glasses. Since they are passive 3D glasses, they are compatible not only with LG Cinema 3D TVs but also with passive 3D TVs by other brands. You can also wear them when watching 3D movies at the theater. 

I have a 42” LG’s LW model from last year. Since the 3D glasses don’t run on batteries, they don’t feel heavy on my face and they don’t cause any headaches that I usually get from flickering active 3D shutter glasses. What I love the most about my Cinema 3D TV is that it came with clip-on glasses. I used to wear 3D glasses on my prescription ones at the movie theater. Now I bring my clip-ons with me when I go watch 3D movies at theaters. I just ordered myself this 3D glasses family pack. The extra clip-ons are for my friends, the kid glasses for my cousins, and the cool looking metal frame ones for myself. I can’t wait!

Movie Clip: The Secret World of Arrietty

We have great love and respect for Hayao Miyazaki, one of Japan's greatest animation directors. We watched Spirited Away just out of curiosity after hearing lots of positive reviews about it from netizens. We were blown-away to say the least and went on to look for as many Hayao Miyazaki works as we can find, whether he directed or produced, we didn't care as long as he had something to do with it, we'll watch it. We fell in love with the characters in Howl's Moving Castle, fought alongside Princess Mononoke, and went on an adventure with Kiki's Delivery Service. My Neighbor Totoro and Ponyo were both adorable characters as well.

So when we heard about his latest work The Secret World of Arrietty, we wanted to watch it. The movie was released in 2010 but the US version wasn't released until February 2012. Amy Poehler and Will Arnett lend their voices to the movie.

Watch a clip for the movie here:

Trailer: Premium Rush

Joseph Gordon-Levitt seems like he's on a roll this 2012 with a bunch of movies scheduled to hit the theaters soon. We loved him ever since we saw The Lookout and loved him even more in 500 Days of Summer and Inception. This 2012, he's starring in The Dark Knight Rises with Christian Bale, in Looper with Bruce Willis and in Premium Rush with Michael Shannon. We can't wait because we know all three movies will be H-O-T.

In Premium Rush, JGL plays a bike messenger who picks up an envelope that attracts the interest of a dirty cop. You can see JGL dodge speeding cars, crazed cabbies, open doors, and eight million cranky pedestrians. JGL also says that he actually trained every day for a couple months leading up to the movie. There's not a lot of computer-generated action in this movie so that makes it refreshingly lo-fi.

Watching on the LG LM8600: A Rundown of its Features

One of the most highly anticipated TVs of 2012 the LG LM8600, was released earlier this month. The TV is available in 47” and 55” sizes.

Here is a list of what you can expect from it:



Cinema 3D 


If you notice, most of LG TVs now would have this description. This is simply a term coined for their passive 3D technology and this is also what won them an Edison Award for content display recently. As previously mentioned in this blog, passive 3D technology, unlike the conventional type of 3D, is flicker free. So, it will cause less strain on the eyes.

LG’s passive 3D technology is complemented by their Cinema 3D glasses or more commonly known as passive 3D glasses. It is lightweight since it doesn't have batteries making it more comfortable to use. Flexibility during viewing is also possible as they do not black out when tilted like shutter glasses do. Six pairs of glasses usually come with the set but no need to fret in case all of it breaks because they are very cheap.  They also have various designs available and some of them were designed by the famous Alain Milki.

Other features that complete the Cinema 3D aspect of the TV are 3D Depth Control, 3D Sound Zooming, 2D to 3D Conversion, Dual Play and access to the 3D World Store.

3D depth control enables viewers to adjust 3D to a level which they are comfortable with. As for 3D sound zooming, it ensures that the 3D sounds are synced with the 3D images on the screen to make the experience more real.

2D to 3D conversion works great but of course it would still depend on what you're watching. Remember that you're just converting it so don't expect it to be perfect.

Then, there's Dual Play. This is cool because each player would wear special passive 3D glasses so they would see different views on the screen. If a player is used to cheating because of the two split screen views this would definitely maim the player's strategy. This is done by showing one player two left lens images and the other player two right lens images.

Lastly, 3D World Store appears on the home dashboard as a card. It is an online video store so consumers can get more 3D content. LG also launched it last month.



Cinema Screen Design


Upon looking on this TV, people might mistake it as bezel-less but actually it does have it. However, at 5 mm, it's extremely thin that it can go unnoticeable. Making the bezel thin is not just to improve the physical design of the TV but it also helps to improve the viewing experience. Since there is no obstruction, the images seem to occupy the whole screen extending until its ends, just like how it is in the cinemas. This improves viewing experience because it is more absorbing and more real especially if you're watching 3D.

Smart TV


TV on the outside and computer on the inside, thanks to its dual core CPU.


A major difference from the 2011 models is that WiFi is already built in. If you use it for browsing the web, bookmarking sites can also be done. If you don't want anyone seeing your browsing history, you can clear it too including cookies. There is also full flash support for the browser.

This TV and the rest of the 2012 models also boast of the improved home dashboard which is simpler and more customizable.

It still has the Magic Remote but for this model it includes the voice recognition feature. I really think that it's smart to include the mic on the actual remote. That way, the chance of a misread is quite low.

Lastly, they have the Smart Share Plus. Your Smart TV can connect more easily to other devices. With this, you can browse and share files located in your external storage devices on your TV screen wirelessly. It also includes what they call as the WiDi or Wireless Display, which enables fast and easy connection between your laptop and TV without wires or internet network.

Overall, this TV is another technological marvel from LG. With the top of the line features like these and an affordable price versus that of the competitors, I'm sure that this TV will contribute in making LG's profit for the next quarter soar.

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone play on-screen lovers. AGAIN.

We love the chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in Crazy last year's comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love and we think the two of them look so adorable together. So we are thrilled when we found out these two are working together again in the upcoming crime drama The Gangster Squad.

Gosling plays LAPD cop Jerry Wooters, a cop battling the Mafia in this crime thriller set in the 1940s and 1950s. Sean Penn plays mobster Mickey Cohen who is Wooters' main target while Emma Stone is Grace Faraday who catches Wooters' eye.

Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Chloe Grace Moretz stopped by The Ellen Degeneres Show to talk about their movie Dark Shadows.

Blake Lively and Chloe Grace Moretz in Hick

This coming of age story centers on 13-year-old Luli McMullen, who runs away from her ramshackle Nebraska home after being abandoned by her deadbeat parents and heads to Las Vegas. Along the way, she learns the truth about American rootlessness and discovers both the power and peril of her own sexual curiosity. Luli crosses paths with Eddie, an unstable rebel with questionable motives and Glenda, a cocaine snorting drifter on the run. Adapted from the critically acclaimed novel by Andrea Portes, this powerful story pulls you into provocative world of drugs, seduction, and murder.

The film stars Chloe Moretz ("Hugo", "Dark Shadows"), who encounters a seedy cast of characters – a sociopathic cowboy drifter played by Eddie Redmayne ("My Week with Marilyn") and a surrogate mother of sorts played by Blake Lively ("The Town", "Green Lantern"), a cocaine-snorting drifter.

The film is based on Andrea Portes' novel by the same name about the hard life of an abandoned 13-year-old Nebraska girl as she hitchhikes to Las Vegas. Portes wrote and served as executive producer for the film.

Dark Shadows: Meet the Residents

Barnabas is a rich and powerful playboy, and the master of Collinwood Manor. He falls in love with Josette DuPres and consequently breaks the heart of Angelique Bouchard. Angelique, being a vile and demonic with, curses Barnabas, turning him into a vampire. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin, with each member of the Collins family harboring their own dark secrets

Before Dark Shadows hits the theaters this 11th of May, here's a rundown of the characters you will get to know within the story.

Dashing, charismatic and undead, Barnabas Collins carries himself with the confidence and grandeur of royalty. But making sense of modern times isn't easy for the Victorian vampire, having just been freed from two centuries of entombment to find his family in ruin and his scorned lover, Angelique, still cursing his name.

 Stoic in the face of a centuries-old family curse, Elizabeth is the elegant and formidable matriarch of the dysfunctional Collins family, and the only one Barnabas entrusts with the truth of his identity. She's determined that above all, their family will endure, and she is the picture of sophistication and strength even as their fortunes crumble around them.

Dr. Hoffman is the rather intense, often hungover live-in psychiatrist who has been treating young David Collins since his mother was tragically lost at sea. Brilliant but batshit, she's an expert on disorders of the body and mind...and things that mix with bourbon. Barnabas' rather odd and anachronistic behavior immediately raises the suspicions Dr. Hoffman, who has no idea what kind of problems she’s really digging up.

Angelique Bouchard is Collinsport's wealthiest, most powerful resident...and, unbeknownst to the townsfolk, a vile demonic witch. Ageless, sinister and positively obsessed with Barnabas, Angelique is driven by envy and rage to destroy all that he loves and make him suffer alone for eternity.

Elizabeth's rebellious 15 year old daughter Carolyn is having as much fun living on a remote, dilapidated Victorian estate as any teenager would. When she's not dreaming of running away to New York or antagonizing her cousin David, she's lamenting how no one understands what she's going through.

There's more to David's new nanny than meets the eye. The spitting image of Barnabas' long-lost love Josette, Vicky is undeterred by visitations from Josette's ghost and appears to be running from a dark secret that propels her mysterious connection with the Collins family.

Every wealthy family has one, and Elizabeth's brother Roger Collins is the resident greedy, ne'er-do-well playboy at Collinwood Manor. Roger has been adrift from his son David since the death of David's mother, becoming an increasingly unscrupulous, arrogant absentee dad.

 A precocious and lonely 10 year old, David believes his dead mother communicates with him. His family dismisses his claims, but David finds a believer in his new governess, Vicky, and an ally in Barnabas, who assures him that being a Collins is far more important than being a bit mad.

Part chauffeur, part cook, part groundskeeper and frequent drinker, Willie is the last of Collinwood Manor's loyal servants to still answer the call. He's salty and unpretentious, a stark contrast to Barnabas' formality and flourish.
