According to Shen xuan zhe, a new science fiction film from
Taiwan, the time, place, and date of your birth in relation to
the Earth's magnetic field can give you special powers. You
might become an ultra-special "chosen" member of the Brotherhood
of Legio, a sort of dark Taiwanese version of the Justice
League.  When the Brotherhood comes calling, it forces potential
members to undergo brutal tests and wear funky LED handcuffs to
determine if they're worthy or not. The film has good-looking
special effects and has a The Matrix meets The X-Men feel, with
a dash of bondage thrown in. Looking forward to seeing this one
when it hits stateside (it's variously listed under the English
titles Brotherhood of Legio and Brotherhood of Legion).  [Quiet
