On a green-blue planet where Hollywood rules, one might not notice a small budget movie like 'Kandahar' from Afghanistan exists until it came to the shores of U.K., but it was one of the lucky ones. Small budget, plenty of flaws, PLENTY but it made international because of the current issues. What about this movie called 'Senario Lagi'? What about it? For a movie that came from a country that has so many to offer in every film making technical department (for over fifty years the Malaysian film industry has undergone so many turbulence, 'good movie but rots in the marketing section', unlike the Bollywood movies, how stereotype and square they may be and how flawful they are in the technics, they still got attention from the western media especially in the U.K. and the U.S.of A! Not that Malaysia doesn't have beautiful babe-actresses, they do! For example Deanna Yusuff of 'Anna and the King' fame or Erma Fatimah and many, many more. May I remind you that Michelle Yeoh of Tomorrow Never Dies, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon fame is very much a Malaysian!), I must say 'not bad, not too bad". 'Senario Lagi' (English: Senario Again?) a sequel to 'Senario - The Movie' was based on a concept created by some creative team from a TV station in the country. The name 'Senario' (English: Scenario) was given after a multi-talented group of five men won a competition sponsored by the TV station, they immediately became part of the station 'in-house' production (this was also part of a plan to reduce budget from flowing out during the recession in 1997). They have their own TV series which called... 'Senario' and had span for almost five years and boy, they were hit! That had brought them to grace the silver screen with their first movie ever called 'Senario: The Movie' in 1999 and now with 'Senario Lagi' both directed by the Malaysian very own Spielberg: Aziz M. Osman and he made both movies big hit all-time, well... domestically but not, I repeat NOT overseas! Why? Hmmmmmm.... But what do I think of the movie? Trust me I was laughing until I had to blow into the popcorn box to revive back my breathing system! Overall I had fun with this movie. Really. This movie could go to the distance and the gang along with the director, they could make a huge contribution to the global film industry (Hollywood that is), just to break the orthodox of film-making; good example before M. Night Shymalan brought us 'The Sixth Sense', Hollywood's horror or thriller movies were boring, it was the same thing if it's not Freddy then Jason or Damien but Shymalan gave us something to think and talk about. So what are you Hollywood monguls waiting for? Give these hidden talented guys a chance to prove like what Ang Lee, John Woo or James Wong had proven. Say 'Aaaaaa'...
