Henry's Love (Filipino Mini-Series)

This 4 part mini series was amateurish of another level. It felt as if a few kids in a village were bored and they decided to make a series for their own sake and family and friends. I mean, nothing about this can be taken seriously. Thankfully, it was short, only 10ish minutes each episode and almost half of that in every episode would be like soft like where lead just plays with his body trying to seduce.

Henry's sight is failing but his girlfriend still takes all his money and when money dies, she leaves him. The show starts with Henry going blind, and in comes his best friend Alfred from childhood, who promises to help him. Alfred is gay and Henry knows that he has always loved him, so he continues to tease him with his naked body and even masturbating in front of him while being blind. It turns out that he is actually not blind and he is trying to tach his girlfriend a lesson and also see if his friend really loves him. In between trying to seduce Alfred, who refuses to have just sex with him because he loves him, he also finds out how his girlfriend now wants to come back to him after he wins a lottery. But he insults her and he and Alfred get together and the last episode has an almost 5 minute of supposedly sex scene.

This show is as ridiculous as it sounds in the story. Literally shot on one street and a house, I can guarantee you that not one penny was spent on it because probably these people were all friends trying to make something and few people like me ended up watching it. To give due credit, they found a lead who had an amazing body and who knew all tricks to seduce the gay guy. But the flat refusal by Alfred to have sex with Henry when he offers himself up felt weird because all this while Alfred had literally been drooling all over Henry. I am really not sure and no explanation is given on how and when Henry started to fall for Already since everyone keeps repeating that he is straight. But then, when you are watching a show like this, you really just close one part of your brain and hope things will just end soon. Do not waste your time on this. This show was as embarrassing to watch as it is to write this review. (2/10)

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...

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.

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 ...
