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...

Time - The Series (Thai Series)

By Golu
Honestly, what the fuck was this series about anyway? The storyline was all over the place and to be honest I didn't understand this series at all. I tried hard, I really did, but it just did not make any sense. And guess what's the worst thing: The lead pair or the couple looks so much alike. They have similar features, similar color hair, similar hairstyle, and more than half the time I would be confused on who's who. I had to focus on their ear-rings to know which of the two main protagonists we are talking about. Not that it made understanding this show any way. And with 10 episodes of almost 40-45 minutes each, the show goes on forever.

From a synopsis perspective, this is wha this show is supposedly about. Foam, a famous actor sees Chris, his lover, killed in front of him by the police. Magically he meets someone who transports him 6 years back into the past to correct the past for what he did wrong, causing Chris's death. Foam doesn't flinch at all realizing in the past, and continues with his life as if it is the most natural thing to do. He meets Chris, and joins a men's club where a lot of boys work as escorts or something. Then there is this other couple and whole lot of mystery and non sense. To be honest I finished watching the show but still cannot say with confidence what the show was all about, what exactly was bone of contention and how it eventually gets resolved in the current time. 

You know sometimes the shows are so bad, you feel like you will get a laugh out of how bad the show was but. This is entirely different. It is just BAD. How to waste good looking actors and money is something that can be learned by this production team. For a time travel show, it had nothing to actually show, I mean the consequences and whatever. It just like Foam goes back in time and for everyone the life just goes on. This show just did not make any sense at all and they had the audacity to make 10 full on episodes. I am sure this will be one show after a long time that will unanimously get bad reviews. Often you find that few odd percentage that likes even the worst of shows but this one had no redeeming quality. I won't even recommend watching this for the sex scenes because you can watch them anywhere these days. Besides the odd script and bad direction, even the actors need some classes. They rambled off dialogues in a very monotonous tones without feeling it. I am really struggling here to say at least one thing good but sadly it just not there. What a waste !! This is 2024, at least don't insult the audience's sensibilities. (0.5/10)

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.

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...
