The All Mighty Edition is loaded with extras ("Bloopers", "Deleted Scenes", "Cherry-Picked: Creator Marc Cherry's Favourite Scenes", "Miss Piggy Gets Desperate" & "Master Class"), and relive the passion, the laughter and the mystery at the comfort of your own home!

What You Didn't See on TV: Ugly is the new Beautiful

If you think you have caught the entire season of Ugly Betty on our local free to air channel, think again. The 4 disc box set is rated M18 (Some Homosexual Content), so there would be some juicy stuff which was censored for the sake of our younger viewers.

You go, Betty girl!

Directed by Boris Boo 巫培双, “THE DAY OFF“《鬼才给你OFF》tells the story of Ah Nan (John Cheng) and Ah Lei (Wang Lei) going for their annual in-camp training. Unfortunately, they meet a very “on” Platoon Commander and they know that they are going to suffer this time round. They decide to cheat for MC (medical certificate) but the Platoon Commander does not buy their idea and chases them away. Then, the Platoon Commander launches a series of rigorous training. Everyone is complaining, so Ah Nan and Ah Lei decide to play a trick on their Platoon Commander as a form of revenge. As they are about to start their revenge, a series of strange things happen……..

“Both Dennis and En Lai are popular and successful comedians in both Chinese and English markets in Singapore. It will create interest and curiosity when putting the duo together for the first time in a local hor-medy (horror and comedy). I hope that the on-screen chemistry between both Dennis and En Lai will lure everyone to catch them and their hilarious moments in the movie when it opens in cinemas,” says Director Boris Boo.

THE GHOSTS MUST BE CRAZY also features another story titled “GHOST BRIDE“《鬼才嫁给你》helmed by first-time director Mark Lee 李国煌. He is also starring in the movie alongside another local comedian, Henry Thia 程旭辉.  “THE GHOST MUST BE CRAZY” opens in local cinemas on 6 January 2011.
