Forget the Hollywood blockbusters that have been bombing in cinemas lately. Give it up for local films this weekend, with one making its big screen debut and two returning for reruns.
First up, My Love Sinema, a nostalgia-ridden tale set in the 1950s about a decades-long love affair. Tosh Zhang plays Kheong, a naive 20-year-old who moves to Singapore from a kampung in Malaysia to chase his passion for movies and train as a film projectionist. Lee (Jeff Wang) takes Kheong under his wing, and they slowly but hilariously form a brotherly bond, which comes in handy when Kheong falls for Wei (Cheryl Wee), a rich Chinese teacher way out of his league.
