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...

Revenge In Olympia

By Golu
If you thought you had seen all terrible gay movies out there, wait till you see this one. If you are feeling generous enough, maybe you may classify this as a soft porn, but the tragedy is that the makers are under an impression that they have made a cult classic.

A young teenager comes to America from Vietnam in search of his father, who is touted to be this 1th richest man in the world. While waiting for his father to accept him, he ends up spending a romantic night in the woods with a stranger he met. Lots of sex follows but in the morning they are found by 3 guys who beat him up real bad. The father, who is a kung fu practitioner will go to any length now to avenge his son. The midst of all this, there is this homeless young attractive boy who is gong around sleeping with random strangers in return for their kindness and at some point some guy (not sure if that's the same young guy or someone else) reaches out to the kung fu to revenge his sister who was rapped by a priest.

Trust me, when I say that this is one of the worst films out there. Almost 30 minutes of the film are in elaborate sex scenes that are too poorly done that they don't even excite you. This film has everything from bad acting, ridiculous dialogue, pathetic production values, total lack of directing skills, and several serious storylines that are made a mockery of by the script. I mean who is making these movies and more importantly who is watching them. What was the point of having a super rich dad. It could have been any dad. Why are there so many random story plot lines when they do absolutely nothing to the storyline. This film is an absolute embarrassment and I can only imagine, what the actors would think now if they went back and looked at this film today. Stay Away for sure. This film doesn't even deserve a review. (0.5/10)

Reading this review has seriously affected my health - I laughed so much that my stomach hurts in places it has never hurt before :D On the other hand I feel for you and guess your eyes must hurt just as much after watching this... eem... creation. Truly hope you have something much more pleasant in your "to be watched" list.

P.S! Read the review again. The film still seems horrible, but it feels like a dare. Dammit :D

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...
