Glee-ful LEGION Locker

"When the last angel falls, the fight for mankind begins. " - LEGION tagline

"But provide what exactly? The understanding that money is the most important thing- or the idea that the only life worth living is one that you're really passionate about, Will? " - Glee

"War is a drug. " - The Hurt Locker tagline

With a few days remaining before i resume my studies, i'm really spending them to the max. Once i start, i won't have much freedom to do what i favour most.

Having said that though, it looks as if watching movies are the only thing i had been doing. I need to start crossing out more from my Resolution.



Legion. I watched the trailer and i thought this movie will be worth my money. Indeed, it's worth every cents paid, but if you're asking me to watch it for a second time, i'll rather save my money to watch other, new movies coming out this year. Once, for this show, will be sufficient to satisfy.


Excellent choice of casts. Paul Bettany, who played Silas in Da Vinci Code, suited the role and executed Michael brilliantly. Lucas Black, Dennis Quaid and Tyrese Gibson were impressive. The show was set in a desert, focusing much on a diner at Paradise Falls. A show about the apocalypse, a group of people along with the help of Michael, fought for the survival of mankind. Their only win was if the child inside Charlie is born. They had to fight against men who were possessed by angels and were determined to kill the child. That's about all i should say. If i tell you more, i'll ruin the suspense.



Another thing good about this show is that it's not draggy- the length was just perfect. It started off really well and climaxed at the right moment. Action-paced, lots of shooting. However (nothing regarding the show), after the show went on for 15 minutes, the sound system went off but the show continued playing. This is my first time encountering such a situation. We had to wait for the technicians to repair whatever the problem was and restarted the whole show. So, i actually watched the beginning of the show twice. Back to the show, it's very much what i had anticipated, nothing less. A good choice for the weekend.


Winner of the Golden Globes Best TV Series- Comedy or Musical, Glee has finally reached StarWorld. Unfortunately for me, i'm only able to watch the Pilot- my uni doesn't have StarWorld. Lucky there's a thing called 'download'.

Glee is a nice watch. Entertaining. Fun. Musical. It's also about bringing your true self out and reaching for what you're really passionate about. 'Don't stop believing'. Somehow, Glee rekindles some of my fond memories of my high school. Not singing, of course, but drama. 'Being a part of something special makes you special'. I'm sure to watch this, i mean, who can forget the line 'Glee brings out my inner Beyonce'! I wonder if my uni has a Glee Club to join?


Garnering much nomination and winning some of the Best Motion Picture awards, the Hurt Locker topped my must-watch list. I wonder why the movie is doing so well and what makes it so special.

It's about a bomb squad in Iraq, set during the war. The show begins with the replacement of one of the team members after a tragedy occurred. For days, they had to disarm bombs, placing their life at extremely high risk. Any wrong move could be lethal, any man could be dangerous. If you're expecting much war scenes, you'll be disappointed. It's a drama, and you'll watch several scenes that are far from shooting missiles and firing guns. What makes this movie good, in my humble opinion, is the story of life in the war time, how everyday is like a dice, rolling your luck to life or death. And the influence of war, to a person, could be like a drug.

American Idol Season 9 is coming up real soon. Hopefully they'll find the next Kelly C, Carrie U, David C or Kris A. wc10 watches as much as he can before filming for Season 4!
