Ripples Of Water

By Golu
Oh My God! What a horrendous film this was. I can't believe that. This film won audience award at qflix. How is that even possible. I mean, no one, absolutely no one in their right mind can connect or appreciate this film. This is bad right from story to acting to direction to everything.

Peter lives in Jersey somewhere and is turning 50. He is dealing with 'depression' since its been 5 years since he broke up with his boyfriend and feels like his life is ending at 50. He has a good number of friends who are there to support and cheer him on his 50th birthday but he is a drag. Enter Caleb (and it snot clear, how he comes to the party) and sparks fly somehow. Caleb and Peter are the only two people left at the end of party and for some reason the chunky muscular Caleb takes an instant liking for old, chubby and nagging Peter. They talk, walk around Bech and have sex. Of course, Peter is skeptical about the whole thing and when Caleb tells him he is bisexual, he wants nothing to do with it and is back to being heartbroken. Thanks to timely intervention of his friends, the two eventually get together.

The story is pretty basic. I am not sure how people could fall in love just after a couple of one night stands. Sure, a film like Weekend, where there is clearly connection between the protagonists, there is nothing remotely likable about Peter's character. Lets, keep his physical appearance aside for a while, but a constant complainer that he is, I would think even his closest friends wouldn't want be with him. There is no way a hunky muscular younger guy would find Peter's personality attractive. Everything about film is amateurish. It drags on for over 90 minutes despite a paper thin plot. It's ridiculous, and terrible and no one should ever have to watch this torture. And finally, qflix, if you want to rig awards and make producers happy, at least find a half decent film and not a drag like this film. Awful (1/10)

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

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

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

By Golu
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,
