Nurul is a 22-year-old orphan who lives with her mom Ainon and step-siblings Farah and Zamil, but the trio treat her like their maid instead. Meanwhile, Zamil is taken with Nurul's beauty and is only waiting for the right time to make his move. Salman is the wealthy playboy son of Datuk Mohktar, a well-known corporate bureaucrat. One day, Zamil confesses his feelings to Nurul, but when she rejects them, he tries to rape her. Nurul manages to escape and hides herself in Salman's room, but when she is found out, the villagers give the two a choice: either get charged in the Syariah court or get married and leave the village. In order to protect his reputation, Salman agrees to the latter option, but Nurul soon realises that Salman also treats her like his maid.
Facing the world with our fair share of uncertainties and/or apprehensions, many of which, sadly, may be well-founded, is nothing to sneeze at. Influenced and buffeted by the constant barrage of social media, fake news, and general upheaval present in our contemporary reality, what IS real and what's not becomes a blur.
In Amazon’s new shark flick, The Devil’s Mouth, terrible tourists finally get their comeuppance while two estranged best friends must overcome their petty squabbles to survive as the rest of their party gets chomped one by one. While it’s by no means an Oscar winner, The Devil’s Mouth is good old fashioned shark week carnage with a tourist critical twist, perfect with popcorn, a friend, and a healthy does of schadenfreude.
'The Patient' is bound by four walls and a mediocre ending that leaves you wanting more.
I highly recommend Kill Bill: Volume 2. In classic Tarantino fashion, specific sections of the film are a tad too long, but overall, it’s a wonderful piece of escapist fiction.
Rip Tide is a coming-of-age film that teaches viewers about finding yourself and reconnecting with surroundings.
