PHP goes "Hmm..."

PHP gets a lot of grief in Java and Ruby camps. That said, my question is whether this is fantastically powerful, or outright scary:

Java: 

Object foo = Class.forName(actionName)
                  .newInstance(); 
String templateName = (String)Class.forName(actionName)
                                   .getMethod(eventName, new Class[]{})
                                   .invoke(foo, new Object[]{});

PHP 

$foo = new $action_name();
$template_name = $foo->$event_name();

Hmmm
