Jayson Bend: Queen and Country (UK)

By Golu
How come no one overthought of a gay super-spy, a James Bond-is character before. Surely this film is not as old, and it feels like this idea was right there for someone to just pick it up and build. And now we have Jayson Bend. This film is a great time pass spoof with gay secret agents, bad guys trying to take over the world and more puns than you could shake your weapon at. Leave your brains, forget the bad CGI and average direction and just try to enjoy.

Jayson Bend (also known as “Agent 009”) is an openly gay British super spy! He drives fast and plays hard - always with other hot boys - flirting with them and more. In this film, Jayson teams up with a sexy Swiss counterpart Alec DeCoque to stop the activation of a newly launched satellite that will turn Raymond Perdood, the billionaire owner of the largest global chain of hair salons, into the most powerful man in the world. In the process he meets a Twink doctor 'Tu Yung' who has been making a special chemical.

The story is basic and at about 50-55 minute duration, the film moves very fast. It tries to follow the typical James Bond film formula using all the stereotypical gay perspectives and characters, which makes it funny. Right from the very first scene when Bend shows up to get hair cut and his flirting with the hair dresser, you know exactly where this film is headed. We have fancy gadgets (condom, vibrator), we have bond-girl (mr. DeCoque) and bad Bond-girl (Dr Yung) etc. Playing the conventions straightforwardly, not veering into heavy camp, works very well and is a key to enjoying the film. The film was probably made with much less budget which is evident in a few places, but surprisingly all the actors playing their parts do a very good job. They are not cringe worthy at all. The film feels spoof but also legit at the same time. The dialogues are witty and cheeky and gays will connect with most of it. Davis Brooks plays Jayson Bend as a person with an underlying sense of humor, not grimly. The story moves along with logic and excitement. This film was a total guilty pleasure and is a beautifully-realised and gloriously silly love letter to the world’s greatest secret agent. I actually would not mind seeing another film in the Jayson Bend series. (5.5/10)

Haha total guilty pleasure indeed, thanks for the review. Of course it's very average as a normal movie, but it's brilliant as a (low budget) parody. Not even sure they would do it as good if the real James Bond ever turns bisexual for the sake of its mission (I'm sure it will happen one day to that good old James ;p)

Naaah. The actual James Bond getting queer probably won't happen anytime soon. For now we will just have to be content with seeing some of the villains being gay.

Drug Shore (Chinese)

By Golu
Apparently tis film was adapted by a true story Well, true or not, movies/series about drugs are not easy to watch. I have always said that drugs is like the end of life for anyone. For those who sink into this sea of addiction, some manage to swim upstream to recovery, while others cannot make it to the shore. The film may not be the best, but it does have a noble intention to remind everyone of the evil affects of drugs and combining that with sex. Ah Zhe is in a happy relationship with his influencer boyfriend. On his partner's birthday, they end up going to a party, which interestingly is being hosted at a drug dealer's house and this is where for the first time he is exposed to the world of drugs. The duo somehow do it just enough and come back home but next day Ah She gets invited by the dealer Xiao Fei for a meal. The dealer has a soft corner for Ah Zhe, but before anyone realizes, Ah Zhe's life spirals out of control when slowly he starts doing more and more drugs, ...

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.

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...
