Navy Hero (Thai)

This is really a very silly campy film which is not to be taken seriously at all. Now depending on your tolerance level of what kind of comedies you are able to digest, I think whether you like this film or not is going to be very personal. Think of it as over the top, silly, forced humor, politically incorrect for queers. But I feel the idea was to just go out all , make a campy film and see if the audiences laugh.

Captain Muengman finds out on his wedding night that his wife is actually a lady boy who ends up taking his virginity that night and leaves him. He is now assigned to take on a very special mission. On a banana cruise ship habited by many other ladyboys with their leader Golden Flower. Golden Flower wants to kill all men and women in the world so that it can be ruled by queers. To accomplish this mission, Captain Muengman need to aboard the ship which can identify of you are queer or not. So in order to complete the mission Captain Muengman and his navy team must disguise themselves as ladyboys to infiltrate Golden Flower’s hideout. A famous queer director is hired to teach them, who also uses this training opportunity to make a reality show kind of film out of the whole experience. Training concludes, the navy goes on the ship and of course defeats the terrorists. 

There are a few other subplots of other characters as well. For example, we see that Captain Muengman's wife actually has a twin sister who is also on the ship to being her brother/sister back to meet their dying father.  Not hat this story adds anything, but it just adds an interesting dimension. The training scenes were a bit funny when the director tries to make three macho men act queer. As I mentioned before, none of this is supposed to be taken seriously even for a second. The plot and the whole premise is as ludicrous as it comes but hey at least someone thought out of the box. So I will give it that. Also adding the touch of making a film while training was funny and it somehow worked. There are plenty of scenes where logic is thrown out of the window, but logic was never supposed to be the forte of the film, so it should be excused. Among actors, Captain Muengman stands out and so does the main villain Golden Flower. Everyone else is alright. The ending of the film is in fact funny, although I think we all knew exactly what was going to happen. (3.5/10)

Hi, I recommend KinnPorsche The Series (thai). The series has 14 episodes and just completed last week. The series is the best Asian BL series so far. The production, cinematography, story and the acting was amazing. 100% recommended

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

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.

Drug Shore (Chinese)

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, ...

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...
