Game Over (Filipino Mini-Series)

Oh god!! This was such a bad amateurish attempt. I mean, I am all up for amateurs trying to make content, but at least find a decent story or decent actors. Don't just take your neighborhood boys and create a story where literally everyone sleeps with everyone. This was a hot mess and in a bad way ! Thankfully it was only 4 episodes of approximately 16 minutes each.

Jason, Allen and Brandon are quasi friends / siblings from an orphanage. The show starts with Jason trying to get back together with his ex-boyfriend, but he has no idea that his ex is now having an affair with Brandon. Meanwhile Allen returns home complaining about his boyfriend issues and watches Brandon having affair but agrees to not tell Jason. Next Allen seduces Jason, Allen's boyfriend decides to move in to winnower him back but it feels like Allen's boyfriend and Jason's ex have something cooking as well. Its like everyone is having an affair with everyone, yet everyone keeps blaming theater person for stealing their boy. Its another level of cringe.

I have seen at least one more show form this production (which had similar house and surroundings) and I don't know what I keep doing this to myself. Just about everything was bad about this. Right from the very jarring and random background score, to bad acting to awkward sex scenes. Every single boy's reactions in those scenes were as if he is disgusted by the whole idea rather than getting pleased. They all love to go down immediately right next to the door or on the sofa. They all think they deserve the best but go behind each other's back. In the final episode Brandon confessing his love for Jason out of nowhere was the last nail in the coffin, where it seems the story idea was like, lets bring 5 guys together and somehow figure out a way to have everyone have sex with everyone. The dialogues, though decent and showed an open conversation, were delivered so badly, that I can't even begin to explain. Stay far far far away. (0.5/10)

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. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him.

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 ...
