Stop! That! Train!

By Golu
Coming out of the same studio that gave us RuPaul's Drag Race, and stacked with a whole crew of former contestants, Stop! That! Train! plays like RuPaul basically taking a bow for the entire franchise she's built. It's not really a gay film in the traditional sense, but with so many drag stars from Ru's shows popping up alongside a few cameos from well known out gay actors, I figured it earns a spot on this blog anyway. The whole thing is completely over the top, packed with GenZ slang, loud flashy visuals, and humor that's constantly winking at you knowing how ridiculous it is. Going in you'd assume it's meant to be a laugh riot, and a lot of critics online seem to be eating it up, but I just couldn't get into it at all. I've never really been someone who vibes with campy silly stuff like this, so honestly my reaction doesn't surprise me one bit. The setup follows Tess and DeeDee, two low level stewardesses who sneak onto the fancy Glamazonian E...

Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat

By Golu
Eating Out 1 was funny and interesting, specially because I watched it at a time when I had not seen many gay films. The second part was a huuuge disappointment. This 3rd in series film is actually decent. It keeps your attention, interest and is also funny in parts. 

Tiffany, the ideal fag hag is back. Her friend is now Casey who has just moved to LA. He meets Zack at a LGBT event and instantly takes al iking for him but he is already taken. But Zack breaks up soon. casey finds him online and pretends to be someone else. On Tiffany's insistence he puts up Ryan's profile as his profile. (Ryan is Tiffany's ex and he supposedly does not live in LA anymore). Casey pretending to be hot Ryan flirts with Zack and almost makes him fall in love with him. But enter the real Ryan and the truth comes out. Now Tiffany & Ryan help Casey to win back Zack and in an interesting climax they both declare love for each other. 

Story is simple. The movie keeps flowing because of the influx of all hot gay stud men (My nick for chelsea-Queens). Casey is the only lean trim not muscular guy who is in awe of Zack's body. Acting wise everyone is fine. Casey can't act but Tiffany and Ryan are good. Ryan is very hot too . I would doubt if straight man actually has a body and ass like Ryan. lol Overall a timepass film. No great histrionics. (4.5/10)

How could you say the 2nd one was a huge disappointment?! Ohh well I am supposed to be talking about the 3rd one. It had that short creepy old dude from Will and Grace HAHAHA I love that guy! LOL Anyways I enjoyed this one as well and felt it was much like you said something to pass the time nothing really in the way of acting or storyline but still good for a laugh which is what all the Eating Out series is about! I would not be surprised if a 4th one pops up! The reason they keep going is because people can deal with everything being funny and having a happy ending no one really likes dealing with problems or issues we deal with those enough in real life thats why when I watch movies or listen to music I want it to transport me to place where I can escape if only for a short time. What the heck am I on about!? Watch all three and make your own mind up LOL!

Phor Lae Lukchai (Thai) [Father & Son]

By Golu
I think the budget of this film was probably too small, but for that, the film definitely offers a different and unique storyline without over dramatizing anything. Yes, some scenes were a bit amateurish but in the bigger scheme of things, that can be overlooked. The film is both beautiful and sad in its own unique way. Aek is a gay dad, whose partner died right around the time their son Nueng was born through surrogacy in a road accident. The relationship between father and son is unpleasant and unstable. We are not really told why, but it seems the father has been unsuccessful in caring and loving his son because of his partner's death. Aek continues to hook up wit hookers. Also, Nueng is constantly bullied by everyone around him for having a gay dad. He has no friends, except Nat, a neighborhood boy, who also happens to be Nueng's boyfriend. In a sudden turn of events Nat is found murdered along with another boy naked. Saddened by the events, Nueng jumps from roof and k...

Gaya Sa Pelikula (Filipino Series) [Like In The Movies]

By Golu
Pinoy BL series seem to be catching up to the popularity of the Thai shows. And I must say that they are doing a pretty good job at it. Where Thai series started to get repetitive with so many shows based in a college setting with seemingly similar storylines, Pinoy series are offering the viewers with new and interesting stories and some really good sets and surroundings. This series was 8 episodes of about 25-20 minutes each. Karl, a 19-year old introvert architecture student is in the middle of an identity crisis. Prior to the start of the second semester in college and forced by his parents, he moves into his uncle's condominium unit so that he can learn to be financially independent. Karl takes on odd jobs online to do so. But when one of his major clients suddenly goes MIA, he is left short on funds and without a means to pay for his utilities. An opportunity presents itself when his cocky neighbor Vlad has to hide from his family and proposes to share Karl's space for th...

The Tuxedo (Thai Series)

By Golu
When I saw this series with 8 episodes of about 20-25 minutes each, I thought, good: Finally someone has come to senses and made a show which is not stretched out and they have tried to squeeze in a decent storyline in a good small episode format. But unfortunately, despite a decent premise on hand, the clunky writing, bad screenplay and an extreme tasteless portrayal of mental illness makes this show, not a fun watch. By the time it finishes, you just want to laugh off at the entire absurdity of it all. Aioun is talented tuxedo designer and very much in demand but he has handful of clients and he builds suits only for people who he feels a connection to. One night when his younger brother is about to get mugged, he is helped by a total stranger named Sichol. Since he tears his suit in the fight and has an interview the next day, Aioun gifts him a suit form his design as an expression of thanks. Sichol's interview is for. Personal assistant of a man named Nawee, a wealthy heir to h...
