12 LOTUS

Did any of you watched Royston Tan's 881 the other time? The story about two sisters who sang in the Getai (7th Month Ghost Festival) movie? That movie alone had grossed over S$3 million and made it as the top grossing Asian film in Singapore, 2007.

Well the casts of 881 are back this time in 12 Lotus. Left with Mindee Ong, Liu Ling Ling and Qi Yu Wu, they show follows through the sequel in the 80's era through to 90's. The film shows heartbreaking moments about the singer and how the man in her life used and abused her. It is another must watch local Singapore movie, not to be missed.

It will be released nationwide in Singapore from the 14th of August, 2008.

In the mean time, catch snippets of the YouTube trailer here. Enjoy it!

Heng or Huat (Singapore Chinese New Year Movie)

There hasn't been much publicity (what's wrong with you ha, Singapore) about this new Singapore movie, Heng or Huat. (correct me if i am wrong, Heng is an interjection which is similiar to 'feeling lucky', 'relieved' or 'phew') The DVD and VCD is scheduled to be released concurrently with Lunar New Year season.

I am pretty sure by now it should be available in the stores. Belinda Lee, (my favourite MediaCorp host) a compere and actress of Singapore MediaCorp TV plays a role in this movie. Another to watch out would be the 2nd Campus Superstar, Shawn Tok, who is only 13 years old. I managed to search for a trailer for this show. Enjoy...
