Be With Me by Eric Khoo, is not a new movie. However, it is interesting to see how the actors and actresses rehearse their scenes.
In one of the scene, you can see Ezann Lee and Samantha Tan kissing.
Nice!

Who is behind "The Days"?
I am not sure too? However, Internet is the easiest way to find the answer. :)
Before we start, here are some trailer of the movie
The director: Boi kwong
Believe it or not, he is a lecturer. Some information on him.
BOI KWONG, the director and creator of the project – whose story is inspired by his own personal experience – has over 10 years of experience in film production. Boi graduated from Temasek Polytechnic as the top student and recipient of an AVID scholarship. He then pursued his Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communications at Curtin University of Technology, Australia.
His strong work attitude and eye for direction propelled him to receive the Special Jury Prize award at the Singapore International Film Festival’s Silver Screen Awards in 2000. He has since worked with acclaimed production houses on television commercials, music videos and feature film projects.
Currently, Boi is a lecturer at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College East. He also sits on the Digital Audio & Video production developing committee at the institution. Boi volunteers with the Prison Service, teaching screen writing and video production to the inmates of Kaki Bukit prison school. This film has taken him years to prepare and is his feature film debut.

More of Money No Enough 2 Video
Internet is such a wonderful invention although the initial use is for military purpose. Anyway, here are more clips on Money No Enough 2.
Have you had enough of "Money No Enough 2"?
I have not. It is a good movie. Expected a lot of laughter but saddened by the whole story. Jack Neo knows Singaporean very well. He had almost covered the woes and troubles about parenting and money well.
Here a novelty item that he added for this Money No Enough 2. He actually made a "no talking" clip to promote his new film. Not new for other film but something new from him.
This is one of the promotion clip.
Here's a picture of the cast.
