Two contestants of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (WWTBAM) won P100,000 each in its show last Saturday, June 20, 2009. This is the biggest pot money any contestant was able to bring home since the game show started last May.

Winner of P100,000

Albert Doceo was ecstatic upon receiving his check with the amount of P100,000.00.

He said that it was his son, who was with him in the studio, which brought him luck that night.

Albert Doceo chose the P100,000.00 check over continuing the game for a possible higher amount of cash prize. He initially tried to take on the challenge posed by game show host Vic Sotto by using his 'Lifeline' - 'Phone-A-Friend'.

However, his friend run out of time to help him in answering the question.

Not being sure of the answer himself, Albert chose to go home with the sure cash prize rather than gamble with his chances.

Second Player Wins As Well

The succeeding contestant by the name of Dr. Joseph Cuevas also reached the hundred thousand marker and went home richer by P100,000.00 as well.

The night was really a big one for the contestants.

Humans Vs. Machines: A Terminator Salvation Movie Review

This is judgement day. In contrast to the three previous Terminator movies which was first set in the 1980's, Terminator Salvation is set in the time when machines ruled the world and the humans struggle for survival.

Here, the viewers were given a peek of how John Connor played his part at the onset stage of the resistance and how his influence can actually lead the human resistance against Skynet and its hoard of Terminators.

Terminator Salvation is said to start the series of Terminator movies that would complement the latter two Terminator movies as this one fits the puzzles of Terminator I.

With the younger Kyle Reese meeting his 'older' son John Connor, Terminator fans' questions of what could have happened in apocalyptic 2018 has been answered in parts.

Christian Bale portrayed John Connor's character fittingly well in this war-themed movie. The love-hate relationship with newcomer Sam Worthington in Marcus Wright character was also an interesting angle in the movie.

I should say Sam Worthington has a great potential in the industry.

I admire the great effects and execution of cinematography in the first two-thirds of the movie, specially the 'awesomeness' of the giant terminator at the explosive gasoline station scene highlighted with two motorcycles coming out of its legs. (Transformers soundtrack start).

And with that level of expectation, the latter part was a disappointment starting from inside-the-Skynet sequences up to the end. The story-line and scenes were just too simplistic and predictable for the climax.

That aside, the movie gets a thumbs up and I am looking forward the upcoming two more installments in the next few years.

Other stars include Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese, Bryce Dallas Howard as Kate Connor (previously for Charlotte Gainsbourg) , and Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams. It's a Columbia Pictures movie and the film was directed by McG. Credits to TV5 for the special screening invite.
