Moonlight Amour (Filipino Mini-Series)

By Golu
OMG!! This show was so bad that it was almost an embarrassment to watch. Please don't ask me why and how I ended up watching this. I do understand that this was likely made with zero budgets , on phone, with friends for YouTube, but then how I came to know about this and spent my time wasting on this is beyond me. Even writing this review feels like an utter waste of time, so I will keep it short. On a bright side, the show was only 4 episodes of about 18 minutes each.

It is a confusing story, to be honest. Yohan has some disease and is soon dying. His boyfriend Ace, who is only pretending to be in love with him because it was his dying mother's wish, wants to leave him but thinks he will come out as an asshole to leave him while he is dying. Meanwhile a group of three random friends keep an eye on happenings all around. One of them figures out that the guy dying is actually Yohan's twin Gohan. At some point they switched (yes!! Kill me). This random dud era the real Yohan profess their love for one another. Meanwhile Ace decides that he needs to breakup with fake Yohan to move on in life, which he does breaking his heart. Even though Gohan is dying, he did love Ace a lot. Eventually the guy dies and the real Yohan and the new guy become a couple.

This story has no heads or tail on what they were trying to do? How does no one know that Yohan has a twin? Why would a mother ask her son to love a random man before dying? Even when Gohan dies, the real Yohan has no sadness, instead he is more interested in kissing the new boy. I mean, this is a classic case of a story been plucked out of thin air. The direction was bad, the acting was unanimously atrocious and the less I talk about the dialogues, the better it is. It is just safe to say that absolutely no one should spend their time on this.

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...

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...

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 ...
