PLOT: A screening of the live-action version of Naoki Urasawa’s manga series, set to be the first in an epic fantasy trilogy. Inspired by the T.Rex song of almost the same name, the film follows a young man as he attempts to unravel the secret of the sinister conspiracy known as ‘Friend’. The globe-hopping plot builds up to a spectacular showdown on the eve of the new millennium - man versus machine against the backdrop of bustling Shinjuku.
Part I & II were already released. I am waiting for the last part of the trilogy. A movie not to be missed if you're a fantasy, mystery and sci-fi fan.

Teen Had Sex With Girl, 10
WHEN they met on the internet in December two years ago, he was almost 17 and she had just turned 10.
After three months of calls, SMSes, one date and a Valentine's poem that made her 'feel love', they became an item.
Eight months later in November 2007, their relationship turned sexual. The young lovers engaged in sex on three other occasions before they were found out last January.
The girl's mother had noticed a change in her daughter's behaviour, and reported to the police.
On Thursay, the teen Xia Yun, now 19, pleaded guilty to two counts of carnal connection.
Two similar charges were taken into consideration.
The court heard that the girl had met Xia on a multi-player online gaming site AuditionSea sometime in December 2006.
They exchanged handphone numbers and kept in constant contact via SMSes and calls. Then on Valentine's Day in 2007, they met for the first time.
As Xia, is still under 21, Judge Soh Tze Bian called for a pre-sentence report to find if he was eligible for probation. This will be decided next month.
If Xia is not granted probation, he faces jail of up to five years and a fine of up to $10,000 on each charge.
* Althoug this incident happneed in Singapore, that doesn't mean it won't happen in Philippines. This acts as a warning to everyone of you to be careful with who you befriend with, especially in virtual reality.
