The Secret Path (UK)

What a beautiful dvd cover but contrastingly it is a massively confusing storyline and a simple concept stretched beyond 70 minutes for no reason. The audio quality of the version Is aw was so bad, that it was really hard to understand what the two leads were talking to each other. The eerie woods and their non stop walks, with some sex scenes in between, made absolutely no sense at all to me.

This supposedly period drama, shows two lovers who have escaped navy and are on the run now, hiding in the woods near a huge mansion. They are trying to make a life on their own terms while just aimlessly navigating through woods and having sex. During all this time, one of the lads has dreams about a guy who he knew warning him about the devil and the need to get away as the evil place they’re in. Is he just losing his mind or is there really something to be scared of?

This film is not a straightforward film and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Much of it is strange, rather creepy and it’s unclear what’s going on. To be fair, the actors were very good looking and tried their best to do whatever they could do to keep the proceedings going, but clearly a stronger hand was needed to keep things on track. The two guys have amazing chemistry, are very much in love with each other deeply. But how much of love can you watch between two men who are talking gibberish that makes absolutely no sense to you as an audience. Clearly there was no budget for the filming a simple story line plot was stretched beyond anyone could handle. This secret path leads to nowhere. (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,
