Chained To My Bully Stepbrother (AI Vertical BL Drama)

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 ...

Double Exposure (Korean)

Watching this Korean film was like watching those Japanese Pink films with thin paper plot and 70% sex scenes, just in Korean setting this time. Soft porn for all practical purposes. Every single time I end up watching one of these, I am so pissed at having wasted my time and I wish someone told me to just ignore it. 

The film starts with a photographer dreaming of sex with a guy he doesn't know. Th next day when his assistant is showing him the pictures of her boyfriend Gi-joon, he is surprised to see that the guy is the same who came in his dreams. He somehow convinces assistant to send him for a photoshoot. Gi-joon really doesn't want to go and clearly is very uncomfortable with the idea of being a model but he gives in. The photographer slowly seduces him during the photo shoot and next thing you know is they are kissing and having sex and an affair starts. Gi-joon is completely in love now with photographer but he was just playing I guess and he strongly recommends that he goes to Italy with his girlfriend as originally planned. A few months later when the photographer is walking around, he sees a man who reminds him of Gi-joon and invites him for photography. Of course, kissing and sex soon follows. The assistant returns from Italy and informs him that Gi-joon never went to Italy with her. This confuses the man and we then see him getting pushed down the stairs with many sexual scenes interlacing between photographer, Gi-joon and this new guy who looks exactly like Gi-joon but a much confident version of him.

Firstly, I have no problems with sexual scenes and intimacy but when they are there for the sole purpose of titilation, they make no sense. The scenes here go on and on forever and they ar not even fun to watch. Besides that the plot is so thin that it could been a crispier short film. It feels like the makers are trying to make some sort of statement here, but the message gets totally lost. Were the two guys the same, one shy and other super confident version of him? Its unclear. Simple seen, the film feels like a photographer seducing a "straight" guy and when he falls for him, he just dumps him. But whats the point! The actual purpose of the movie is to provide the viewer with a lot of titillating yet emotionally warm gay sex scenes. And that, it definitely has. (3/10)

Phor Lae Lukchai (Thai) [Father & Son]

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]

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

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...
