Chained To My Bully Stepbrother (AI Vertical BL Drama)

By Golu
This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat.  The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...

Prescience aka Intuitions

By Golu
A wannabe journey of self discovery of a man questioning his sexuality, this film is a mix of poor and odd screenplay and some genuinely bad acting. It's like an amateur film maker tried to take real events and create a movie but butchered it in execution. The film is known by two titles for some reason.

Lawyer Issac lives with his sister Emily in a house given to them by their adoptive parents. Both these individuals have some kind of childhood trauma which we don't get into details till later. Issac has a girlfriend but he always looks for excuses to not get intimate. His friends have always suspected he is gay, but he refuses it. Enter Mark, the new gorgeous roommate and before you know Issac and Mark are now a couple. Just when Issac thinks he has found happiness, two secrets come for fore. Emily and Issac find out that their adoptive father was the one abusing them as kids after their biological mother couldn't pay his fees after her run from her abusive husband. Second, it turns out that Mark is married and has a son. Why and how is he their roommate is never explained. Issac is initially heartbroken but he decides to take revenge on Mark and not leave him in peace. In the most bizarre series of events that lead to a botched up climax, Mark and his wife die in a car accident and magically in his will, he leaves his son for Issac who is more than happy to raise him.

Your surprise is as weird and genuine as mine when the climax and the weird ending happening. I was like WTF! Isaac's weird confrontation was so out of hand, why did he have the need to confront Mark when they were clearly not his issues? As if acting by Issac wasn't bad enough, the dialogues were cringe worthy from pretty much everyone. I mean, clearly everyone was just acting without feeling. It has that typical lousy piano music between every scene, that typical sound that is so common with bad television movies. The only real good thing about this film was Mark. Extremely gorgeous, acted well and was the only saving grace of this baffling screenplay and film. Emily's character was half baked, the whole camaraderie between Issac and his friends was all made up and didn't seem natural at all. An uninspiring film, which can be easily missed, only if not for the gorgeous Mark. (3/10)

My humble opinion for such movies and the " asiatics " above all : they need a good film editor . They need him to give a logical fluidity to the scenes shot.

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...

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

By Golu
Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution. Although any sexual non-consensual activity is not ok, this film has its won strange way of showing that suicide is not the only solution to all life's problems. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him. ON top of it, his parents sudden death coming back from a trip that he forced them to take, he gets completely dejected and decides to commit suicide. Unknown to him, he is saved by mysterious man Yoda Ryoji, and he wakes up finding himself tied up in leather and belts in a very BDSM setting. This mysterious saver soo...

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

By Golu
Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin...
