Sandiwara in the making Part 2

God bless MCA for two great plays that they had produced for specially for us Malaysian Chinese over the past few weeks. Just when I thought that only Yasmin Ahmad is the only capable film maker in this country, MCA have to just come along and prove me wrong. To those who had missed it, here's a recap on two of these two great films produced by MCA:

Namewee

Starring: Doctor Chua, Various Ministers, with cameo appearance by Namewee

This is perhaps one of the best film I had seen this year. The story all started out about a little boy who is so unsatisfied with what is going on and decided to express his feelings through his talents which happens to be music. It became an instant hit overnight with critics praising him and he gain many fans. All seem to go well for this boy until the villain of the story which starred various ministers decided to go into overkill by suing his ass off for a rule which will be custom made later just for him.

Just when all hope seems lost for this little boy, a superhero doctor by the name of Dr. Chua decided to come in and save the day acting as a mobile condom and shielding him from the deadly Seditious Act virus that he is prone to get. Credit goes to Dr Chua for his awesome acting skills for making this play a success. Not many actors can act out this role with such drama and not laughing at how freakin' silly it is at the same time. Currently this play is still playing in all your local papers nearly on a daily basis. So do catch it if you had missed the first few episodes.

Overall Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5



Where's the Translation? (A Malaysian sequel to the movie Lost in Translation)

Starring: Datuk Liow with cameo appearance by The Son-In-Law®

In perhaps one of the best play that had ever been produced by any local production companies, Where's the Translation is perhaps one of the best ever. It all started out slowly in a simple yet touching scene about a man giving a speech to the people. Just when you think this is what this play is over, WHAM! it hit you like a speeding train with its moving climax with Datuk Liow giving a fiery speech while holding a book directing at everybody's favourite Son-In-Law® while he was watching. The play ended with The Son-In-Law® saying that he don't understand what Datuk Liow is saying as his fiery speech was in another language which leaves the audience roaring with laughter.

Overall rating: 5 stars out of 5. The transition from a serious flick into a full blown comedy is flawless. It really takes someone way above the likes of Stephen Chow to do it. Kudos MCA!


Thank you MCA for these entertainment to turn us away from our countries grave problems. After all we the people do need to take our minds off the soaring crime rates and many other problems eating up our country.
