Salvaje Despertar (Spanish) [Wild Awakening]

Part erotic, part porn and a whole lot of unnecessary gay stuff thrown in best describes this film in a summary. The sad part is that, the film's story had potential and under an able director this could have made for a good cinema. Alas! this wasn't meant to be.

The film starts with disappearance of Ramon and three people being questioned about it. It's then a drag queen comes in and tells the story in flashback. Toni and Emma are a brother/sister duo who own and run a horse farm. The farm's foreman is Ramon, who has been with them since their parents days and now his son Ramon also works with his father. Emma mostly manages the farm and so does Toni but Toni is gay, and also spends a lot of time in clubs, parties and drugs moving from man to man. Emma likes Aaron but he refuses his advances. interestingly around tis time, Toni starts to realize how hot Aaron is and starts pursuing him. Turns out, Aaron is indeed gay and the two men get on it. Aaron's father is homophobic and is constant slurs against Toni's sexuality has been a fear in Aaron's mind in his inability to come out. But the father sees Toni and Aaron together. Turns out that the homophobic father himself has been historically interested in boys. And this is when Aaron disappears. Toni blames Ramon for killing his son and in a fit of anger and fight ends up killing him. It's only later we find the truth about Aaron's disappearance.

As you can see the story is interesting but you can clearly see that the idea was to make it erotic. Half naked men working on farm, all of them gay, randomly hooking up; added no value to the film whatsoever. We do get an idea that Toni is a player, but why keep pushing that in our face, again and again. it was interesting to see how eventually Toni does get interested in Aaron, who by the way is so hot. He looks drool worthy in his one piece overall he wears throughout to work in the farm. The whole angle of Toni's ex suddenly coming back and wanting to be with him was so random. The sad part os even thought they makers were probably going for erotic thriller, the film had so sensuality or passion whatsoever. The guys were hot and acted decent but overall the pieces were not fitting together because there was a whole lot of hogwash added every few minutes.

A decent story, but bad execution (isin't that always the case), cheesy story, and too many unnecessary characters and sub plots. Watch for some good eye-candy but that's it. (4/10)

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

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

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

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,
