Just Press Play

Kami, (translation: Us) is a Malaysian TV series that captures the story of a group of five friends who go through the ups and downs of of adolescence with as much fun and reckless abandonment before entering a new phase in thier lives - higher education.

Kami, was then brought into the movie screen directed by Effendee Mazlan and Fariza Azlan Ishak. The story kicks off with Abu’s escape from juvie,  and reunites with Ali to celebrate the girls’ final paper and the last day of SPM exams marking the end of high school and the beginning of their journey to taking their first steps in making life altering decisions.

But soon their freewheeling post-SPM break is interrupted when Lynn ’s old life catches up with her new life and the two worlds collide, setting off a chain of events that will force all of them to face their personal demons, changing their lives forever.

Cast: Syahrul Ezani (Ali), Liyana Jasmay (Lynn), Nas Muammar Zar (Abu), Ani Zayanah (Adii) and Juliana Sohpie (Sofie).

The movie was released back in October, 2008.

Here’s the video clip for the movie soundtrack by Meet Uncle Hussein, “Lagu Untukmu”  which recently won the Anugerah Juara Lagu for Best Song.

Okay, I thought I’d showcase a local Malaysian movie today instead of doing “international” movies for once. I’m sure some people are thinking, “support the local movie scene, why don’t ya?”

Yeah… so anyways, the movie “Sifu dan Tongga” will be released on 29th January 2009, just so you know.

Cast:  Azad Jasmin, Erra Fazira, Fouziah Ghous, Saiful Apek.
Director:  Prof Madya A. Razak Mohaideen

The film begins with two journalist Tammy and Azad searching for the remaining Watson people alive on earth. Azad finally manage to kidnapped Mila and bring her back to the city. The Chief of the Watsons was very saddened by this. Sifu and his best friend Tongga promised the chief that they would find Mila and bring her back. Sifu has an outstanding ability to communicate with the spiritual world for guidance, which helped them a lot in finding their way to the big city, Kuala Lumpur.

p/s: Sorry for the small movie poster guys, you know I like big ones, but this is the only one I could find.
