Star Trek Beyond [Movie Review]

7:30 AM Rawlins GLAM 21 Comments A⁺ a^-

Thank you so much to TGV Cinemas for selecting as one of the winners to attend the premiere of the latest Star Trek installments - Beyond.
And I watched it in IMAX cinema - THE BEST CINEMA EXPERIENCE EVER!

Star Trek - Beyond

And I won the best dressed for the cosplay contest by TGV Cinemas too. Thanks for the Limited Edition Star Trek Beyond Action Cam and the Headphone!

USS Enterprise has just docked on Yorktown after three long years journey in the outer space when their assistance was needed by Kalara, a survival that has just arrived in Yorktown in a escape pod. Acknowledging that USS Enterprise's strength and capable crew, the ship traveled to a new and uncharted side of the nebula to assist the rest of Kalara's crews.

When she says it is white, it is WHITE! Do not question her!

Now then, you should place your make up brushes accordingly to ensure its cleanliness and longevity

However, they were attacked by Krall's drone armies who managed to board the ship and seize an ancient alien weapon. However, Captain Kirk managed to get hold of the weapon and hide it with one of the crew.

Be sure that the enemy will not take our flag or I will lose RM100 on a bet

It takes hours to look this good, especially when you are in the forest

The Enterprise suffered severe damage and Lieutenant Nyota Uhara separated the saucer's section of the Enterprise which allowed it to crash-landed on the planet below. Krall managed to captured her, Liuetenant Hikaru Sulu and a few other crews that has been captured by the drones while escaping via the escape pods. The weapon was finally in Krall's hands after a few series of threats of killing the rest of the crews. The weapon was a component of bioweapon that will be used by Krall to annihilate Yorktown.

Be strong dear. Please do not buy another tefal pan

OMG! 75% discounts on all Under Armour products? I should get one now!

Kalara admitted that she lured the Enterprise to the planet in order to get the weapon. Klaara was killed during the fight with Captain Kirk. Scotty was saved by Jaylah, a native who made long-lost USS Franklin as her home. Together, they tried to repair the damage on board and start to teleport the crews.

I paid the maintenance fees on time and this is what happen to my plumbing? (only people who stays in apartment knows this)

Who is Krall? Will the crew be successful in saving Yorktown of the imminent attack from Krall?

Plot: 4.8/5.0. I love the unexpected twists and new characters in the latest installment. There are so much action scenes that made you stay alert in your seats too.
The Act: 4.8/ 5.0. The acts was superb especially Sofia Boutella as Jaylah (bias much?). I would say that this installment is more towards exploring the emotions of the crews and the development of their character.
Will I watch it again: Yes I would!

Lights Out [Movie Review]

8:03 AM Rawlins GLAM 19 Comments A⁺ a^-

So, here is another horror and the scary movie with James Wan's touches into it.

byrawlins, horror, James Wan, Lights Out, movie review, Scary, Klips Malaysia, Screenbite

And of course, me being a horror movie avid, I just have to watch the movie - some sort of support to a fellow Sarawakian.
All thanks to Screenbite and Klips My for the invitations.

SPOILER ALERT

Do I look thin in this light?

Something/ someone is lurking in the dark. Its ultimate goal is to destroy the happiness of a family.
It started with killing Martin's father whilst he was working is a mannequin factory. Devastated, Martin's mother, Sophie seems to take the lost pretty bad as she needed some medication to deal with the death.

Why can't we have a month long of Raya holiday?

Energy saving in progress - so is $$ saving

Oh no. Not the pedo again!

Martin realised that his mother has been acting weirder than before when she started to talk to herself. When the night falls in and the darkness enveloped the house, his mother seems to become more talkative - as if she has a talking companion. Martin realised that this 'thing' lives in the dark, thus he was unable to sleep through the nights.

It is ok to fart in the lift, even when it is full of other people. I did that too.

Martin's half-sister, Rebecca was called to his school when he was always found sleeping in the class. Realised that their unwell mother was not in the right state of mind to take care of Martin, Rebecca took him out of the house and brought him into her house.

Sis, this light will not enhance your look. Believe me. I tried it!

Do not go to the pretty light! Do not go to the pretty light!

Kami datang nak beraya!

It seems that the thing followed Martin into the house and started to terrorize Rebecca too. Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, Rebecca searched her mother's house for clues where she found a box full of evidence (apparently her late father did some research about the mother's background and her connection to the 'thing'). When confronted, her mother's denial made the matter worse.

They claimed that this eyeliner is waterproof!

What is the 'thing'? Why is it so determined to destroy the family's happiness?

Plot: 4.9/5.0. I love the twists of the plot that keeps me awake through out the movie. You will keep on guessing what is going to happen next (and most of the time, I failed).
The Act: 5.0/ 5.0. Boy, was I amazed by the cast, especially by the act of Teresa Palmer (Rebecca) and Gabriel Bateman (Martin). You could literally feel their emotions which made you feel scared too. Very believable!
Will I watch it again: I would and will buy the DVD too!

byrawlins, Eid Mubarak, hari raya, Rawlins GLAM, Salam Lebaran, UKM Global,

Salam Lebaran buat semua

Anak Cik Baba bersongkok tinggi

Bersiar di pekan di atas beca

Syawal nan suci menjelma kini

Membawa anugerah kurniaan Yang Esa

Anak Cik Baba bersiar di kota

Bergaya kacak berkasut capal

Salam dihulur sesama kita

Hadiah keampunan di pagi Syawal

Anak Cik Baba mengidam sira

Sira dicari di bazar ramadan

Ziarah sesama sanak saudara

Erat hubungan perindah kemesraan

Anak Cik Baba duduk di jambatan

Mengorat Mona si dara pingitan

Rawlins mengucap Salam Lebaran

Jumpa Lagi di tahun hadapan

The Legend of Tarzan [Movie Review]

7:30 AM Rawlins GLAM 14 Comments A⁺ a^-

Just as The Jungle Book, I grew up reading all about Tarzan and its legend.

Alexander Skarsgård, Margot Robbie, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Djimon Hounsou, Tarzan, The Legend of Tarzan, Movie Review, byrawlins, Warner Bros.,

Human. Nature

Back in my kampung in Sarawak, I even had a treehouse so that I could pretend that I am living in the woods, just like Tarzan did. So, naturally, it is a must for me to watch it when the legend comes to live on the silver screen.

The movie started with Captain Leon Rom meeting with Chief Mbonga, cutting a deal to get the famous opal diamond to save Belgium from being bankrupt by delivering Tarzan to Chief Mbonga.
Tarzan has long left Africa and is now known as Lord John Greystoke. He is more modern and aristocratic.

Kalau hang labur RM10,000, dalam 6 bulan dapat pulangan 200% tau

England wants to send him to Africa to visit the development made by Belgium in Congo but John/ Tarzan is a bit reluctant. George Washington Williams, a representative from the USA, wants to go to Congo to investigate the claim of the local being used as slaves by Captain Leon. Jane, John's wife wants to go back to Congo as she wants to revisit the native families that they have there.

The lighting is great for photoshoot now

When John did not arrive at the port, Captain Leon begins his search for John which leads him to the village where John and his wife are staying. Nevertheless to say, being out of the jungle for quite some time, John and Jane were captured by Captain Leon's soldiers. Luckily, George managed to save John but not Jane.

Let me do my catwalk now

This bangle is way too huge for me

Captain Leon was still hopeful that John will come and save Jane so he brought Jane along with him to meet Chief Mbonga. Slowly, John started to peel off his layer and becoming Tarzan again as he runs to save Jane with the help from the natives and George.

So, where is anak bulan now?

See my accessories now!

Hurry up before Jubah Raya runs out of stock!

Along his journey, he met with his ape brother, Akut, who labelled him as a traitor when he left the family to become human again.

Whatcha looking at?

Are we doing synchronized acrobatic?

Will John manage to save Jane with all the obstacles await him?

Plot: 4.7/ 5.0. I love the flashback scenes as it guides me through the character development. The plot is rather simple but was marvellously put together. I love the scenes where he met with his lions friends! So cute!
The Act: 4.7/ 5.0. All the actors did a marvellous job! Samuel played his part marvellously and I love his character. Margot and Alexander played their parts skillfully and so believable!
Will I watch it again: Yes, I would! In 3D will be even better!
