Kong: Skull Island [Moview Review]

Kong is on Malaysian shores! With all that gore details and fight details, luckily it was not banned!

The movie started with two fighter pilots parachuted onto an island. It was in 1944, during the WWII. While fighting each other off, a huge monster appeared that made them stopped and ran for their lives.

You never see a cow in the mud before, dude?

29 years later, a Monarch agent, Bill Randa gathered a few people including a tracker, Capt. James Conrad to accompany him on a mission to discover an island that is not on the map, called the Skull Island. The island was protected by pockets of air turbulence that made it impossible to penetrate. With the skills of the experienced pilots of a helicopter squadron led by Lieutenant Colonel Preston Packard, the group managed to pass through the angry clouds and into the island.

Kong is playing dolls now

Before descended, Bill Randa ordered them to drop some seismic bomb to determine the hollowness of the ground. It was not long before a huge gorilla-like monster started attacking the helicopters and many were destroyed and the crews dead.
Packard was mad with the real intentions of Randa, which is to prove to the world of his theory that there are monsters living on earth. After burying his man, Packard ordered everyone to make their way to a helicopter that contained all the explosives.

Meanwhile, Conrad's group were separated from Packard's group and encountered a local tribe that worshipped Kong. There, they met with Hank Marlow, the pilot that crash-landed on the island in 1944. Marlow told them that Kong is worshipped as a god by the natives for protecting them from Skullcrawlers, a reptilian-like underground monster who have slaughtered Kong's ancestors, leaving him as the last of his kind. Conrad learnt that Kong attacked the helicopters as to prevent the bombs from awakening the largest of the Skullcrawlers, nicknamed as 'The Big One'.

Along the way to their assembly point, both groups encountered differents kinds of huge monsters that were both gentle and dangerous.

The very first encounter with Skullcrawlers was when Conrad's group went into the Forbidden Zone. Randa was killed by the same Skullcrawler that ate Chapman, making Packard mad and very vengeful, blaming Kong for the death of his men. Packard's revenge was not welcomed by Conrad who tried to save Kong when Packard set Kong on fire. Here, they encountered 'The Big One' who seemed to try to take advantage of the fallen Kong.

Dude, you need to see the dentist PRONTO!

Who will save them from 'The Big One'? Will Packard get his revenge?

Plot: 4.7/ 5.0. I love it. A simple movie with lots of action and monsters! So, I might be a bit biased there.
The Cast: 4.6/ 5.0. With Tom Hiddleston and Sam L. Jackson in here, it seems like a reunion of Avengers, which I love. Brie Larson was great too!

action movie

Logan [Movie Review]

X-Men was the very first mutant cartoon that I watched when I way younger and it sticks with me until now. It is still my favourite cartoon and movie until now.

Logan, Wolverine, Marvel Comics, Hugh Jackman, Laura, Professor X, X Men, movie review, byrawlins, mutant, action movie,

So, when Logan airs, I did not waste any time to watch it in the cinema.

In 2029, mutants are near extinction with no new mutants having been born in the last 25 years. Logan aka Wolverine now stays low and works as a chauffeur. Together with Caliban, they take care of the ailing Prof. X, who now and then will lose control of his ability and causes a devastating effect on everybody near him.

You want to ride my ride, babe?

This is not my usual ride. Have we come to this, Logan?

Logan himself is in no great condition. The adamantium is poisoning him and slowing his healing ability. While chauffeuring, Logan meets Gabriela who needs his help with her girl, Laura, which he ignored.

Only after he meets Donald, a mercenary of a sort, that confronted him about Laura, Logan reluctantly accepted the job offered by Gabriela to take her and Laura to a place call 'Eden' in North Dakota. 'Eden' is supposedly a haven for mutants. However, Gabriela was killed by Donald before they even depart to North Dakota.

The facial operation cost me my right hand.

Who took my gummybear?

Sensing trouble, Logan returns to the hideout without knowing that Laura was hiding in the trunk. Caliban senses Laura. Prof. X meets Laura for the first time but he knows that Laura and Logan are related. The introduction was cut short by the sudden appearance of Daniel and his troop. Logan confronts the troop and he sees that Laura has his ability, plus the adamantium claws on her feet.
After narrowly escapes the troop, Prof. X, Laura and Logan hide in a hotel where they learn the truth about Laura dan Gabriela. Daniel and the troop quickly caught up with them. There, Prof. X experiences another episode of his seizure which causes the whole hotel guests to experience the effect of his psychic blast which freezes everyone and allows Logan to kill the troop.

Somehow, my army is made up of good looking men.

Girl, that shade is so last season. Nobody wears that anymore

This is way easier than walking. Especially when Wolverine carries you

Again on the run, a family they met on the road gives them shelter for the night. Yet, Donald manages to track them and releases a clone of Wolverine, X 24 to kill Logan. X 24 kills Prof. X and the whole family. Laura and Logan combined their power to attack the clone. It was Caliban's selfless action to sacrifice himself that allows Logan and Laura to escape from the scene.

Too tired, Logan falls asleep and Laura drives them to Eden. There, they meet with the other mutant kids. Logan leaves Laura with the kids who hopes to cross the border.

After all that carnage, you still want to steal my gummy bear?

Will the kids find their peace? What will happen to Logan?

Plot: 4.6/ 5.0. Please ensure that you are ready for the totally different plot of a mutant movie. This is not your typical X-Men/ Avengers movie. It is about the emotional journey of a dying hero and his legacy.
The Cast: 4.6/ 5.0. Marvellous performances by the actors. No complaint whatsoever here.
Will I Watch It Again: I don't mind watching it again. I will buy the DVD too for my collection.

Shopback, Let Me Win My Wishes

Shopback?
What is that? Shopping back to back? Or back to shopping? Literally, to me, that is what Shopback means.

Shopback, Win A Wish, contest, shopping online, Lazada, ZALORA, Under Armour, Philips, Eat Healthy, byrawlins,

Lets get it on

So, let me lay it down to all of you, fellow shopaholics (just like myself). But seriously, the shopaholics are just doing our contributions to the economic situation of our beloved country.
Shopback is a #1 online cashback/ rebates sites in Malaysia. Shopback has over 500 partnering merchants that give you cashback for all your online purchases, on top of the many discounts available when buying from an online retailer. And Shopback has 500 partners that include Lazada, Booking.com, ZALORA, Foodpanda, AirAsia and many more.
So, how do this 'cashback' work? In order not to get any of us confuse (as we like to keep things sweet and simple right), here is a pictorial tutorial to simplify the long and winding explanations.

Shopback gives back so you can shop back

Easy right? Take me for instance.
I buy shoes from Lazada via Shopback and the Cashback (the $$ in Shopback) will appear in the "Pending" tab. Once the purchase in confirmed by Lazada, my Cashback will appear "Redeemable" and once my cashback reaches RM10, I will request for payout, so that I can Shop Back. Get it? Shop Back!

Happy 2nd Birthday Shopback

So, in conjunction with Shopback 2nd birthday, Shopback decided to grant my wishes. And my wishes are associated with living a healthy lifestyle so that I could give more to my family members.
First, I would need a great pair of training shoes so that I could keep on training and exercising with comfort. I will go and look for that amazing pair of shoes from Lazada. So here is my wish for that amazing pair of training shoes. A beautiful, comfortable and very much fashionable Under Armour Charged Legend Training Shoes that cost RM549.

My training shoes

To keep me on track with my on-going healthy lifestyle, I need something that will keep me, literally, on my toes. And that amazing gadget comes in the form of Garmin Vivoactive HR GPS Smartwatch with Wrist-based Heart Rate in the luxurious black colour.
I chose black as it goes with everything and anything. This amazing fitness tracker cost RM1,199 with 8% savings given by Lazada. Remember that we will also be given some cashback after buying from any of the merchants listed in Shopback.

Amazing fitness tracker

Do you know that all training and exercise only amounts to 30% to your weight loss? Combining all that exercises with a healthy lifestyle, which includes clean eating, will contribute to a more healthy weight loss.
So, here is what I really need. An amazing gadget that will assist me in clean and healthy eating. Here is where the new and beautiful Philips Viva Collection Airfryer will come in very handy! This amazing cooker can cook everything is a much healthier way. Less oil is the way to a healthier me and a cleaner diet.
And it costs only RM789, from Lazada.

This will help me eat healthy and clean

Is that all?
Nah. This is just too sweet an opportunity to pass.
Now, I need a pair of eyeglass that is fashionable and functional. There are tonnes and tonnes of choices in Lazada. I choose this particular pair of eyeglass from Pott Glasses, priced only at RM315.
Now, I can see more choices. Haha.

I will see more choices to choose from with this

Last but not least, the only reason why I have to keep myself healthy is because I want to make my parents and my family members happy.
So, I went on holiday hunting in AirAsia to look for an amazing deal of flight and hotel deals for my parents. My siblings and I have been saving to give our parents their much deserved holiday and we all agreed to send them to Seoul in South Korea. Their flights and accommodation only cost a little over RM3K.
I am sure my parents will be very happy to spend their holiday there.

Happy Holiday Mum and Dad

I wish and pray really hard that Shopback will let me Win all my Wishes. Pretty please.
So, you have your own wishes? Write about it and who knows, it might be your lucky day.

Head on here [The Contest]

But first, let me win all these amazing wishes ok. Thanks Shopback
