Our Story (Filipino Series)

By Golu
Apparently, this show is the third and final chapter in the My Day series. I have not sen the first two in question but I can assure you that this can still be seen on its own. Even if you have seen the first two, it will not change the fact that this series is really bad and a colossal waste of time of watching nothingness, silly drama, odd people and just bad. The show stretches for 13 whole episodes of almost 40 minutes each, which I guess one can watch the fist two and last two episodes and completely leave the middle ones and you would not miss a thing.

Zeke lives with his boyfriend Fifth and two other students in some sort of house/PG accommodation. It seems their's is a perfect love story till the appearance of a new guy Kevin. Kevin keeps trying to chat with Zeke who keeps rebuffing him. Kevin pleads Fifth to introduce him to Zeke which eventually happens. Turns out Kevin is someone who Zeke loved before but Kevin refused his proposal then and now he wants Zeke in his life. Out of nowhere, he changes his attitude and starts to notice Kevin and starts treating Fifth with indifference. Zeke gaslights both Fifth and Kevin. He makes Kevin feel guilty about the past and mistreats him all the time, while at the same time letting him get closer and giving him hope. On the other hand, Zeke makes Fifth feel like he's in the wrong for being jealous of Kevin, even though Fifth did nothing wrong. Fifth and Zeke break and latter goes back home. Suddenly he realizes he loves Fifth and some dramatic moments he goes back. Besides this main love story, there are many other parallel stories. The other two roommates fall for this bad boy in school who uses both of them , so they take their revenge. The school dean falls for a new PE teacher who is always jealous of the dean talking to others. We have this girl, who tries to woo two professional guys at the same time and what happens wit her. And the there is also this little lesbian love story brewing.

The first thing that everyone will notice is why so many characters. There is absolutely no need. You could eliminate more than half of those and would make absolutely zero difference to the show. And also with the main story, it made no sense. The things that these boys do and the decisions they take are absurd. Zeke is clearly as asshole with the way he behaves but somehow is made out to be the victim of love. Why would Fifth help Zeke reconnect with his ex. Also why would he let Zeke treat him like shit and still go back to him? When the couple gets back together, Fifth apologizes to Zeke , which should have been the other way round. There are way too many problems with this couple. Moving over to all the other stories, the less said the better. Not one of them was remotely interesting or added any true value. To bring some sizzle the makers added very sexual dialogues and some sex scenes between a school bad boy and the other two roommates and the whole situation did not fit well in the overall demeanor of the show. Despite me watching the show with one finger firmly on fast forward, it is still making me angry on why would people make shows so bad like this one. (2.5/10)

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

One Summer Night (Korean)

By Golu
I really wanted to like this film but for non native speakers, these movie leaves a lot to be understood and the way scenes were unfolding in front of me, I wasn't sure many times what was really going on. The story had potential button getting any back story on any of the characters limited my ability to empathize with any of these actors. Film starts with two North Korea military guys Yong Joon and Jae Sung having sex and they are caught red handed and they run. Three years later we see Yong Joon in Seoul leading a very mundane and poor life. He has a boyfriend Tae-Kyu, who is a weird guy. He is carefree, doesn't do any work and is completely emotional and financially dependent on Young Joon. In fact, even Yong Joon will go to any lengths to protect him , fend for him and taking care of him to the extent of even taking up prostitution. Suddenly one day Jae Sung appears in their life again. His motivation is not clear but it is obvious he wants Yong Joon back in his life, who

Ultimate masturbation: Shigoki no yama (Japanese) [The Ultimate Masturbation]

By Golu
I would never know what was the point behind making this film. Was it supposed to be a comedy, cos it wasn't. It wasn't even porn. It was just a silly attempt at making something absolutely senseless and ridiculous. The story, as well as direction is equally shoddy. You could laugh for having seen something so bad, but I wouldn't call that comedy. An old man runs a camp about gay masturbation. The explanation given is that gays masturbate for pleasure unlike straight men, for whom the act is seen as shame or because they can't find a woman. One day a straight man shows up and wants to join the camp for his thesis. After discussion, he is allowed in. Rules include that you can masturbate together, you can masturbate one another, but there is no fellatio or anal sex. Some students of course breaks rule. The teacher then talks about 2 forms of masturbation which gives ultimate pleasure. He shows one without touching and then refuses to talk of the other. Somehow suddenly,
