The Delta

What the hell!! Very rarely have I seen where there is absolutely no character development and the viewers are just left to make up their own version on why a certain individual is behaving the way he is or doing things that he is. This film is unbelievable. Despite having a very good looking man as one of the leads. It was just the huge discrepancy of what this movie could've been and what it ended up being.

Lincoln is a 18 year old young man with a happy life with friends and a girlfriend. Except he is also closet gay, which he accidentally discovers about himself after being propositioned by a older man. One such occasion he meets Minh, an Vietnames half black immigrant, who makes Lincoln do stuff that he wouldn't do normally. He forces him to take his father's boat down the river to explore unexplored while professing his love for Lincoln. They bind with each other but soon reality dawns. Lincoln goes back to his girlfriend. Minh continues to look for his ideal boyfriend / partner. He finds a man in a bar, tales him to a secret place and then just kills him and this s where the movie just ends. I am not kidding.

It seems like the film was supposed to be an odd love story between this rich white boy and a Vietnamese immigrant, but sadly the film doesn't go anywhere. The story takes forever to get started...and ends up going nowhere! It just stops with no resolution at all. Actor playing Lincoln was super attractive and even acted well but Minh's accent was hard to comprehend at certain places. The production quality of the movie was very poor, grainy, poor audio and terrible direction and screenplay. The stories don't hold together. Emphasis shifts from one character to another.

Don't be fooled by the poster. Please dont waste your time on this film at all. Besides the extremely good looking lead actor, nothing about this film is worth investing your time in. (1/10)

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...

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...

One Summer Night (Korean)

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 ...
