Oito Segundos (Portuguese Web Series) [8 Seconds]

This 8 episode Brazilian gay web series is just a waste of talent and time for both actors and viewers. It is available on YouTube to watch but I hope no one spends time on it. I understand make shows and videos have become easy for people to make but there should be some logic and aim and plan behind making such series.

We meet Gabriel, a YouTube and social influencer, who has recently come under trouble for tweeting some homophobic slur, despite him being gay. His agency manager and owner together decide that it might b a good idea for him to stay away from public life in a remote place till heat dies down. His manager sends him to his cousin Pedro's home in a remote town. Pedro is closet gay who is trying to make it with his girlfriend but arrival of Gabriel complicates thing and before we know, the two guys fall for each other. Meanwhile there is plotting and scheming going on between the agencies. When Pedro's mother dies in the city, the do come to city to deal with public scrutiny while working on their relationship. The show then has rather abrupt ending.

There are a lot of problems with this series, from bad story to really bad acting. The continuity is all over the place. The connect and gradual attraction between Pedro and Gabriel in the beginning are handled well but eventually it just feels toxic. There are all sort of impediments that come their way and they just magically get resolved. Totally random! We also see some politics between agency management but that was again just there. Pedro's girlfriend was so clingy that despite knowing her boyfriend is gay, she just wanted to be with him. Gabriel was a bad bad actor and so was the agency owner lady. Pedro was the online decent who could act but other than that, this is a complete miss. There is absolutely nothing worth talking about fo this series. Absolute waste of time and I am so angry for doing that. (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

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,
