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 ...

Dicks: The Musical

By Golu
You have to set your expectations with a title like this going into watching a film. On abrogate side the barely 90 minute runtime of the film is a plus. But then this way over the top comedy is silly, trashy, vulgar but somehow funny at the same time in a weird way. Combining the basic plot of famous film Parent Trap with the phenomenon known as "twincest," wherein hot gay guys tend to hook up with other hot gay guys who look so much like them that any public display of affection between them grosses everyone else the hell out. Maybe this film takes it literally. And of course, it is a full on musical.

Craig and Trevor are two high-powered, noxiously entitled salesman who treat everyone around them in the manner suggested by the film's title. They're straight, sleep around with women and are strangers at first, but when their companies merge, they meet and eventually realize that they're identical twins, each raised by one of their divorced parents. The mom is played by my favorite Karen from Will & Grace (So that's something). They both decide to swap places to bring their parents back together. But, with Dad being gay and living with a couple of rat/human hybrids who are referred to only as The Sewer Boys and Mum having her own impediments to romance, this is not going to be an easy task. And during all this, the brothers fall for one another and kiss and make out and have raunchy sex.

I am honestly not sure who was supposed to be the target audience of the film. Most people have moved on from this over the top crass kinda humour, which more often than not doesn't evoke any laughs. And then with a stay like this, they took two actors who actually do not look like twins. The mom going on and on about how her vagina ran away and the dad living with his puppets, twins having sex; it just gets weirder. The absurdity of it all only makes the filmmakers' attempts to make the material make any kind of sense all the more disappointing. I didn't particularly enjoy any of the song and dance routine, but then I never enjoy those. The actors playing the leads actually try and give their 100% to the role and try and do their best to keep it going , but personally it is the kind of genre that doesn't sit well with me. Also, is this film queer? I am not sure. As the film says in the beginning, it stars two real-life gay men pretending to be straight for the film. They then act exactly like two gay men pretending to be straight, doubling down on the joke. My fav character was the sassy boss that these two men had. Besides this, there is absolutely memorable from this film for me. (3/10)

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...
