Thanks so much to RHR Hotel Uniten for inviting me to 'Jom Ler Berbuka @ RHR Hotel Uniten'. I was excited as this is my very first Ramadhan menu review of the year - and yes, I was looking forward to eating those kampung style dishes and desserts.
Upon arriving at RHR Hotel Uniten, without wasting any time, I went straight to the buffet area to see what is waiting for me.
There were stalls surrounding the main buffet table displaying so many much-beloved local and fusion dishes and as usual, I was spoilt for choices and confused as to what I should I eat. There were so many choices!

Fletcher, a private investigator tries to blackmail Raymond for a story/ findings/ expose about the failings of Mickey Pearson's marijuana farm business. Fletcher writes all his findings in the form of a script entitled Bush and extorts Raymond for a £20 million ransom.
Being a very street smart and book smart guy, Mickey has built his business from the ground and flourishes with any means necessary. Mickey plans to sell his farms to Matthew Berger, an American billionaire for $400 million so that he can retire peacefully with his wife. He showed Matthew one of his flourishing farms to Matthew.
Not so long after, Dry Eye, the underboss for Chinese gangster Lord George approached Mickey asking about buying out the farm to which Mickey refuses.

Welcome to my car boot sales - all these belong to my late grandparents

This is one very intimidating interview

Later that night, the very farm was raided by a group of MMA fighters who filmed the raid and edited it into an online rap video. The trainers' coach, known as Coach orders them to delete the video after he learns about the farm's owner and went to see Raymond, asking for forgiveness and offers his assistance to spare the young lads' lives.
Asking around about the farm's raid led Raymond to Phuc, one of Dry Eye's henchmen. Mickey went to see Lord George and threatened him about his move towards the farm while burning down one of Lord George's heroin labs.
Lord George confronted Dry Eye about his insubordination with Mickey's farm business and he was killed instead.
Who is Dry Eye and what is his role in the whole farm raiding incident?

I've told you once and I will not be telling you again - PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR ORAL HYGIENE

MY REVIEW Plot: 4.7/ 5.0 I am happy that the plot keeps me guessing what will be the next twist is throughout the movie. And using Fletcher's stories as throwback and backstory of each plot keeps the movie fun to watch until the end.
Cast: 4.9/ 5.0 All I can say is - NEXT! Bring me the sequel. With all these A-listers, I have no complain whatsoever.
Will I watch it again: I don't mind watching it again with the right companion. The pictures are taken from IMDb and other sources on the Internet. Thank you.

M4M4 [Movie Review] | I have learned for quite some time that if Nabila Huda star in a drama or a movie, it will certainly worth to watch the piece.

M4M4, Mama, Horror, Thriller, Mama, Nabila Huda, Bella Dowanna, Kodi Rasheed, Eyra Rahman, Movie Review by Rawlins, Rawlins GLAM

So, yeah. I went to watch M4M4 (Mama) with my friends after reading rave reviews online.
SYNOPSIS M4M4 Trivia

Directed by: Eyra Rahman

Produced by: Mokharul Shamsul Mokhtar

Production companies: Da Motion Media

Distributed by: Empire Film Solution

Running time: 106 minutes

Aini (mother) and Aliya (daughter) live together happily after losing her father. Their bond is more to sisters than mother and daughter, so tight.
On her 15th birthday, whilst her friends, Elly and Danny plan a celebration, Aliya insisted on coming home early as her mother might have a surprise celebration for her at home. The trio went around town and last, they stopped to have their favorite dishes at a food stall.
There, they were harassed by three addicts - Apai (the pedophile one), Remy (the always high one) and Luk (the effeminate one). Apai was challenged by Remy to harass Aliya as Aliya fits all Apai's boxes for his victim.

Being an independent girl, Aliya puts up a fight when Remy touches her. A fight occurs and Aliya splashes hot soup over Apai when he tries to grab her again. When the stall owner comes at them with a long machete, the notorious trio runs for their lives.
While waiting for the bus home, Danny suddenly realizes that he has to meet a senior at their school and leaves the girl. Elly also has to change her clothes as her period messes her skirt. Alone, Aliya was cornered by the notorious trio - they seek revenge for the hot soup on Apai.
Aliya runs for her life but the trio manages to catch up with her. They beat her and drag her to an empty house where they continue to torture her and take turns raping her.
Aliya manages to return home - battered, bruised and raped, much to the horror of her mother who was waiting to celebrate her birthday together.

Aini tries to be strong for her daughter - she acts tough and always be there for her. But one can only hold her emotion for such long. And when the emotional barrier breaks, Aini runs amuck that Aliya tries to be strong for her mother instead.
Then Aliya receives the video of her rape, send by the trio to her. Trying her luck to face the trio and persuade them to delete the video, Aliya ends up almost getting rape for the second time by the evil trio. She puts up a fight and runs for her life. This time around, she jumps over the bridge when cornered by the trio, only later to fall to her death.
When Aliya returns home and goes straight into her room to sleep, Aini did not suspect anything amiss. She denies that her daughter is dead, up until she sees Aliya's body on the morgue's table.
Will Aini come through her sadness and get justice for Aliya?

MY REVIEW Plot: 4.0/ 5.0 The movie was good - for Malaysian standards. It is not lengthy or too 'beautiful'. It depicts the real social problems that we have now with our kids and we might have closed one eye upon. But, there are some very significant discontinuation in the plot that kept me guessing until now. 1) Where did Danny go, when he suddenly excuses himself right after the fight and leave the girls alone? 2) This might have been due to the Director's cut, but how did the police get their conclusion by just looking at photographs and not doing an actual investigation work done? 3) How is Danny related to Tuan Azahari as somehow, Tuan Azahari knows Danny when Danny suddenly appears at Aini's house, at night time? 4) What is Danny doing at Aini's house at night time?
All in all, I applaud Ms Eyra's effort in directing the movie. I hope we get to see more honest movies like this in the future (not about 'projek juta-juta, anak orang kaya kawen dengan orang miskin etc).
Cast: 4.7/ 5.0 GIRL. If you don't cry together with Nabila Huda and Bella while watching the movie, I think you should have your heart and tear ducts check by the specialists. And the evil trio - I really want to spit on their faces when I see them around - they are evil incarnate themselves!
Will I watch it again: I don't mind watching it again. The pictures are taken from the Internet. Thank you.

Perempuan Tanah Jahanam [Movie Review] | When I read the rave reviews online and from Rollo in particular, I decided that I will watch Perempuan Tanah Jahanam, with friends or on my own, I don't mind.

IMDb: 7.5/ 10

Maya, a toll-girl was almost killed by a guy who has been stalking her for weeks. He managed to cut her thighs and mentioned 'We don't want whatever your family has left behind in our village. It will all end with your death'. As he raised the machete, the policemen gunned him down and he was killed on the spot.
Maya and her friend Dini quit their jobs and opened a clothes kiosk at an almost empty mall. In the toilet, Maya realized that the cut is bleeding and somehow, she managed to pull a piece of paper from the cut (how in the world did that paper last all this while?). It was written in a language that she didn't understand, so just like any other millennial, she took a picture of the paper.

Maya told Dini that she wanted to visit her birthplace after she has confronted her aunt about her history. Her aunt gave her a picture of a family of three standing in front of a huge house. And the idea of having claimed the family house made Maya wanted to visit there and perhaps sell the house so that she could turn her life around. Dini insisted on accompanying her.
It was midnight and the girls were still traveling on the bus. Maya met a linguistics professor who told her that writings are in the primitive Javanese language and it is a spell to ward off evil spirits, cast by an evil witch. And then she saw three little girls standing on the roadside and she wondered 'why are those girls still out at 1 in the morning?'
FACT: It was mentioned that the three little girls standing beside the road were not a part of the movie - it was really an actual eerie recording and later put inside the film.

When the bus stop, the girls traveled to the village and past a huge house that was old and empty. Wanting to see the village head and imposing as university students researching for their final year projects on shadow puppets, they were told by an old lady to come the day after. The girls decided to crash at the old house. And Maya started to see and hear things. But she is one brave girl - not believing in ghost whatsoever.
Maya realized that there has been two deaths just in two days that they were there. When Dini went missing, Maya discovered a grim secret about the village that somehow related to her and the old house.
Who is Maya? And who and where is she in the history of the village and the old house?

MY REVIEW Plot: 4.7/ 5.0 My friends and I were having heart attacks right from the movie get-go. The movie was directed beautifully to keep one on one's toes - and all of us were the ones that were screaming in the cinema. Not so much jumpscare but believe me, the moments are really scary!
Cast: 4.6/ 5.0 I love that most of the scripts are in Javanese - no need to dub a foreign movie. That's why the subtitle exists. The cast is great!
Will I watch it again: I don't mind watching it again with the right friends. The pictures are taken from sources on the Internet. Thank you.

Harley Quinn is roaming the streets of Gotham, heart-broken after she got dumped by the Joker. She found a place to stay where no one knows her (to her knowledge), adopted a hyena that she named Bruce and became a roller derby girl.
Ina club owned by Roman Sionis where she frequents, she did all her naughty tricks with everyone and got away with it because everyone taught that she is STILL the Joker's girlfriend and everyone is afraid of messing with the Joker.
And when she realized that she needs to break away from the Joker completely, she blew up the Ace Chemicals Plant, the place where she pledged herself to the Joker - as a sign that everything is over. When the whole of Gotham hears about this, everyone knows that Harley is on her own and that was just like a welcoming invitation for everyone to hunt her and get their revenge on her.
Dinah, the singer at Roman's club saved Harley from an attempted abduction and impressed Roman who appointed her as his new driver, replacing the one that legs were broken by Harley.

Detective Renee approached Dinah and proposed for her to be her informant of Roman's gang activity, which was rejected by Dinah. The detective needed proof that Roman is somehow associated with a number of murder cases that were happening lately in Gotham by a 'crossbow killer'. whom she taught was Roman's assassin.
Dinah and Victor (Roman's right-hand man) were sent to retrieve a diamond embedded with the account numbers to the fortune of the Bertinelli crime family that was massacred years ago. Somehow, Cassandra, a young pick-pocket thief managed to steal the diamond from Victor and swallow it when she was apprehended by the cops not minutes after.
In the meanwhile, Harley was captured by Roman's men and was about to be killed when she offered to retrieve the diamond for him. Roman agreed. He let him go but at the same time, placed a bounty on Cassandra, just to make Harley's life harder.
Will Harley get out of this mess alive? Or will she finally hit the bucket with so many obstacles and enemies around her?

MY REVIEW Plot: 4.9/ 5.0 Watch it and you'll understand why I love the movie so much. In the 109 minutes of the movie, we know the backstory of everyone and it was done beautifully that all your questions about all characters will be answered. Beautiful and I expect there will be more coming soon. Psst. No end credit but it well worth it for you to stay until the end of the credit. There's a secret that Harley Quinn wants everyone to know.
Cast: 4.9/ 5.0. BRAVA! I want more!
Will I watch it again: YES! The pictures are taken from IMDb and other sources on the Internet. Thank you.
