For a while, we’ve been watching the TV series Glee and are much amazed by the show. The whole story and the presentation of the song numbers are beautifully intertwined.

One of the songs that struck us the most is Finn’s rendition of ‘Having my Baby’. I’m not sure if this is an original one or a revival, but the way it was sung was quite exceptional. Of course, there are other songs that were also presented well by the cast.

With regards to the story, Finn and Quinn make a good pair, perhaps on and off the camera. With the twist of the story though, nobody knows who will accompany Quinn in sending out birth announcements. Alas, the answer could be months away.

Based on Wikipedia, the last episode aired was Episode 13 (Sectionals) on December 9. The 14th episode, titled “Hello” is set on April 13, 2010. That’s more than three months from now. Regardless though, we’re very excited to see the next season or episode for that matter.

The Blu-ray Disc is one of the latest in optical disk technology. The format is superb compared to a VCD and DVD and this can be proven by the quality of images that the Blu-ray disk produces. This is termed as the next generation optical disc format that enables high definition entertainment experience. The downside as of now is the cost for the Blu-ray capable disc player or game consoles. The Blu-ray disc itself has higher cost compared to a DVD. However, in exchange for this, you get the best picture and highest quality from the movie that you watch of the game that you play – guaranteed.

So if you plan for a movie marathon on any weekend, it’s recommended that you have your blu-ray discs ready. For now, you can set aside those weight loss supplements (you can take them in again later) while you gobble your favorite snacks when watching the movies in crystal clear format.

Fresh from the success of his films The Dark Knight and Terminator Salvation, there are talks around that Christian Bale is up for another sequel to the Batman saga. Currently, his profile in IMDB states a project in development – an Untitled Batman Project. Many say the next movie will cast Batman’s valuable sidekick Robin, including a recent interview with Transformers’ Shia LeBeouf asking if he is willing to play Robin.

Nobody knows who the next villain is, but the role is hard to match after the great performance by the late Heath Ledger as Joker. An article in thespoof.com talks about Robin Williams (star for the films Patch Adams, RV, and Bicentennial man) as the new Joker, but others say that the next villain should be different this time. It could be Riddler, Bane, Poison Ivy, or Penguin.

Prior to watching the movie, I read some reviews and comments from different sites and blogs. In IMDB, it’s rated 8.1/10, from 8,696 votes. With such high rating, I had high expectations.

The movie is about Christine (Alison Lohman) as a loans officer who receives a curse from an old woman whom she just denied a loan extension. The curse of Lamia was said to disturb her for three days, afterwards she’ll ‘literally be dragged to hell’.

The next three days was hard for Christine because of her battle with the curse. Within this period, her background was relayed. Christine used to be fat as shown in a picture, but obviously got a way to conquer it, perhaps by using fastin or some other pills. The result was great though because she was able to attract the wealthy Clay Dalton (Justin Long). Her quest included engagement with different spiritual experts and several encounters with the wicked spirit. Towards the end, it seemed that she was able to overcome the curse, but a twist in the story was uncovered.

IMDB tagged this under Horror & Thriller. They must have forgotten another genre for this – comedy. There are some funny scenes in the movie, as proven by the constant laughter that surrounded the movie house. But the cause for most of the laughter is the unexpected loud sounds that surprised us and made us scream hard

I’m not a movie critic because I don’t look deep into details of execution. I base my judgment from the entertainment that the movie provides me. So for this movie, I give it a 7.

There has been a sudden surge in internet searches for Bella’s Lullaby. I recommend you going to a site that enables you to download the free Bella’s Lullaby sheets. This was the one played by Edward Cullen. Okay. So, Edward, keep playing some more!

I’ve forever been an enthusiast of vampire movies and stories so I struggle to watch every film depicting these life forms. They’re usually portrayed as dominant villains, who bite the neck that’s why I find it thrilling. Now, another superb establishment of a love story with these elements was released and like so many others, I too am very apprehensive to see this – the ‘Twilight’. Twilight is now showing this week in cinemas but tonight, most of the seats were taken. We couldn’t even book for adjoining seats so we just bought tickets even if the seat numbers were separate from each other but fortune came and I had convinced an individual to exchange seats with me.

While I was watching the film, I acknowledged that I had fallen in love with Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), this time as a vampire, after his previous role as Cedric in Harry Potter. Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) had developed into a lady and had an improved appearance in this movie than in her ‘The Messenger.’ I found it remarkably enjoyable especially to the women. I enjoyed the movie as much as my friends did. One friend even wanted to go with us and watch the movie for the 2nd time but the seats were full. We share the same feeling because we wanted a perfect boyfriend like Edward.

I’ve heard people say this movie was terrible. I haven’t read the book by Stephenie Meyer but I prefer not to read. I’m not into reading long novels maybe because I am not creative enough or I am just too indolent. At least it hadn’t set my expectations on the movie. There are lots of movies created out of the best selling novels but most doesn’t really compare to how the book pleased your imagination. They’re just not comparable. After all, you cannot squeeze in all the information in a two-hour movie. For some, they don’t want its being conventional, hackneyed, etc., but that’s what you should anticipate from a youngster love story and from a vampire-human affair.

Nevertheless, I found Twilight so addicting and I can’t truly wait for the sequel. I haven’t eaten my food because I’m hooked at the movie. Edward Cullen is an ideal man for all the girls out there. The movie is just so charismatic from start to finish. I’ll definitely add this to my list of all time favorites. Oh, and I like the soundtrack. I think I’m also going to search and buy the piano sheet that is being played by Edward.
