Goodbye Seventies

By Golu
Why, why, why do we continue to make such films? I mean, its 2020/21 for God's sake. Brilliant shows like 'Deuce' have tackled similar subjects. And then you take sub par actors with an even shoddier direction and you have a mess of a film that was never needed to be made.

Bradford is an aspiring dancer and Vincent has been his partner in crime in everything they do, including gay clubs and bathhouses. They slept in the beginning but are now good friends. When Bradford hurts himself and can no longer dance, they both decide that they can make a living by making gay porn and playing it in an arthouse Swedish theatre. He calls a few of his ex-tricks and hook ups and starts making films. The films succeed providing the duo with decent means of income, leading to both the men and the artists use of drugs and underground sex clubs. But success is short lived with drugs, cheap video technology and AIDS looming over.

It's hard to say whether the film was intentionally made bad or that's just how it is. There is a thin line between a bad movie and a satire of a bad movie. This film clearly looks like a really really bad movie. Badly acted. Almost trash, horribly directed with grainy camerawork and very very amateurish. I was hoping something better would happen or the story would take an interesting turn but nothing happens. You just wait and wonder why was this film ever made in the first place. (1.5/10)

Watching crap is a good way to start over and be fully ready for the next good stuff. It's like it washes your brain and heart.

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 ...
