Honest Men : Season 1 & 2 (Web Series]

Wow! This series could be a masterclass in what bad direction and bad editing is all about. I really wonder who the audience for this show is, because I cant imagine why anyone would find anything remotely of interest in the show. Yes, the guys are hunks and amazing good looking and you get you see ample ass shots, but in todays time, you can see a lot more on porn websites. I saw 2 seasons of this (10+8 episodes) and really it was terrible.

The main story is about Colby whose best friend Andre is in the army. He has some attraction towards Andre's father Mark ever since he was 17. Now, with Mark being his neighbor, Mark shows up in Colby's life as a support when Colby's father dies. They both flirt while discussing the issues they both have in life. They come very close to having sex but somehow don't do it. We also meet JT, who is figuring out a way to make money for his son's prom party. He also has all kinds of hallucinations of him having S&M sex with some stranger. In between we also meet Colby's room mate with whom he had sex with, and also get to know that maybe Colby had a thing with Andre when they were teen. It turns out that Mark and JT are friends and soon Colby becomes a topic between the two of them leading to a possible threesome. In season two, we meet Ryan, a white guy who is suddenly one of Colby's fuck buddy. Here everyone knows everyone. Colby tells him about Mark and Andre and JT. Colby has become the sort of a person who enjoys being an object of desire for all kinds of men. Andre is back in the picture, JT has more hallucinations, there is another older guy who jerks off at any given opportunity, and more. Yes, we meet other random men in between all this, who add absolutely nothing at all to the story except some skin show and examples of really bad acting.

As mentioned before, this series had absolutely no substance or story to talk about. I am not sure what was the point of this whole thing. The men dont look any different when they are 17 or 24 or even in late 30s. They all look same and for some reason they are all always feeling themselves and thinking of sex all the time. They all come out as creeps. The whole idea of Colby hitting on almost everyone including his friends father and other older guy makes sense but maybe the focus could have been on Colby's issues. The series sort of glorifies his acts. Bad acting, wafer thin plotline, awful direction and editing are the things that are consistent in every episode. The men are hot, real hot and almost naked all the time and that is THE only thing thats good about this series. I cant think of absolutely anything else.

Absolutely do not waste your time on this one. Rewatch something that you have seen before and you liked or just sit idle but do not torture yourself and waste your valuable time on this. (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.

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 ...
