malaysian film can be quite boring and yet again i see them to support the local scene. but the whole idea of following up-to-date movie such as the drift racing movies, is so not good. i want the malaysian film industry to come up with their own movie ideas, instead of following the flow of interest in that time. i mean come on, have a more better idea than following the fast and furious movies 'Tokyo Drfit' and turning it into something like 'KL Drift'. some people really liked this kind of movie, but that doesn't mean the whole of malaysia liked it. some will think that its a cheap ripoff of the Tokyo Drift. why not come up with something original like the one show that i respect because it can comeup with its own title, Impak Maksima(although the term Maksima doesn't exist in the malay dictionary, the term Maksimum is more appropriate). and another reason i respect it is because it can grow into a tv series. that is what i want from malaysian film makers, to make your movies original, without following the trend, and if you can come up with better plot, make it into a tv series. and come out with new genres for god sake. never ever go for the same thing over and over again, the rotations of love stories, and comedies, or romantic comedies, and suffering romantic comedy. the new genres introduced in these 2-3 years are scary movies, and racing movies. why not come with sci-fi, or action, or even those independence movies.
TV are a really good media. the medium can send a message to the whole world. but in particular in malaysia. the whole TV series is kinda, well i wouldn't call it a joke but... its not that interesting. the series they make is usually about life drama. as if our life is not filled with drama as it is. dramas are interesting to watch but it doesn't open our mind. with the introducing of ASTRO to our tv sets at home, we may never tune in to local tv station that much anymore, we may prefer to watch western tv shows. i on the other hand much prefer the local stations since my room doesn't have ASTRO, but its not the only reason, the other one is because the show are mostly repeats everyday. they repeat the same shows everyday, and only change weekly. so instead i watch the local stations because they dont have repeats, except maybe for the late night slot which i can assure nobody really watches except for those insomniac person.
one tv shows genre that i know i like is the new horror tv series Kekasihku Seru. those thursday nights slot are really interesting to watch because it shows the ghostly other-worldly that of our culture. the power of a human being that is able to see these superntural being and some are capable of destroying them.
another tv shows that i like is KAMI the tv series. it focuses on 4 teens. when i first saw this show, i was like " Finally malaysia's own teen dramas". i liked the whole tv series mainly because it focuses on teenagers, and how they deal with life, one a recovering drug addict, one a poor ex-drug dealer, one a kleptomaniac misunderstood kid who was never seen as anything to his parents eyes , one a girl that falls in love in the internet, and one uptight girl that doesn't listen to reason and likes boys a little too much. but one thing that all these kids have in common is that they all listen to indie music, and are connected by this fanzine made by the ex drug dealer called KAMI. that is how the shows got its name. but one thing about this show that i didn't like is the fact that it uses the same scene over and over again, but from a different person point of view. they could have used the scene in one episode only and continue on with another plot, without involving the same scene from another's view. the shows so far has one season, and i really hoped it will continue on for another season, and a rumor going on is that KAMI the Movie is in the making. cant wait for it. plus the show introduced malaysia to the world of indie music, which is quite sad actually. before nobody knew of the band Meet uncle hussein, the times couple, and other bands. the now going on tour is the KAMI the GIG, featuring Meet uncle hussien and all its patrons.
Film industry in malaysia really need to boost their taste and their ideas to actually make it to the same level as those in the UK or the US. so goodluck malaysia...

For your information mr.'director', IMPAK MAKSIMA copy its tittle from EVOLUSI KL DRIFT ,shamsul as the director of kl drift had to change the tittle because ahmad idham(impak maksima director)stole it from him.I know this story because i work in the kl drift film.I dont understand when you said 'not everybody in Malaysia liked it' because kl drift film collected 4.5 million riggit and impak maksima only 1.8 million.EVOLUSI KL DRIFT also won the special award for best action movie in the 21 filem festival.And for your information,the KAMI tv shows coppied from the 'ONE TREE HILL' tv shows.I respect your point of perpective but make sure that you know what you write is the truth.
