Unconventional (Web Series)

By Golu
A Revry original,  Unconventional  is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...

Ripples Of Water

By Golu
Oh My God! What a horrendous film this was. I can't believe that. This film won audience award at qflix. How is that even possible. I mean, no one, absolutely no one in their right mind can connect or appreciate this film. This is bad right from story to acting to direction to everything.

Peter lives in Jersey somewhere and is turning 50. He is dealing with 'depression' since its been 5 years since he broke up with his boyfriend and feels like his life is ending at 50. He has a good number of friends who are there to support and cheer him on his 50th birthday but he is a drag. Enter Caleb (and it snot clear, how he comes to the party) and sparks fly somehow. Caleb and Peter are the only two people left at the end of party and for some reason the chunky muscular Caleb takes an instant liking for old, chubby and nagging Peter. They talk, walk around Bech and have sex. Of course, Peter is skeptical about the whole thing and when Caleb tells him he is bisexual, he wants nothing to do with it and is back to being heartbroken. Thanks to timely intervention of his friends, the two eventually get together.

The story is pretty basic. I am not sure how people could fall in love just after a couple of one night stands. Sure, a film like Weekend, where there is clearly connection between the protagonists, there is nothing remotely likable about Peter's character. Lets, keep his physical appearance aside for a while, but a constant complainer that he is, I would think even his closest friends wouldn't want be with him. There is no way a hunky muscular younger guy would find Peter's personality attractive. Everything about film is amateurish. It drags on for over 90 minutes despite a paper thin plot. It's ridiculous, and terrible and no one should ever have to watch this torture. And finally, qflix, if you want to rig awards and make producers happy, at least find a half decent film and not a drag like this film. Awful (1/10)

Drug Shore (Chinese)

By Golu
Apparently tis film was adapted by a true story Well, true or not, movies/series about drugs are not easy to watch. I have always said that drugs is like the end of life for anyone. For those who sink into this sea of addiction, some manage to swim upstream to recovery, while others cannot make it to the shore. The film may not be the best, but it does have a noble intention to remind everyone of the evil affects of drugs and combining that with sex. Ah Zhe is in a happy relationship with his influencer boyfriend. On his partner's birthday, they end up going to a party, which interestingly is being hosted at a drug dealer's house and this is where for the first time he is exposed to the world of drugs. The duo somehow do it just enough and come back home but next day Ah She gets invited by the dealer Xiao Fei for a meal. The dealer has a soft corner for Ah Zhe, but before anyone realizes, Ah Zhe's life spirals out of control when slowly he starts doing more and more drugs, ...

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...
