Here Comes Your Man 2

By Golu
The season 2 or part 2 of this series/film (depending on how you saw it) continues the story pretty much from where it ended in season 1. Having said that, even if you have not watched the first film, you can easily follow what is going on here. For me, just like the first part, I watched this one as well like a film, even though it was released as an episodic series on Dekoo.

This season focuses more on the group of friends than just on either Aaron or Jordan, who wrestle the leads of the original film. The first part had ended on their breakup. Set few months after that, we see how Aaron now has a FWB in Julio. Aaron wants this to get into something serious by going on actual date, but something is holding back Julio. Over the course, we see how Julio's best friend manages to convince him that he needs to live his life and eventually Julio asks Aaron out on a date. It doesn't go as planned but it definitely brings the two men much closer. In parallel, we see that Jordan is now in Omaha, Nebraska to start producing and recording of his new album. He goes through some ups and downs during this process, while trying to find not just the singer inside him but what he really wants out of himself. We also have two more stories about Aaron's friend Cassie trying to rekindle her past relationship with her man and also one whole episode is dedicated to Dustin, who is madly in love with his online crush Sean. The dup decide to meet in Vegas over the long weekend but thats when Sean goes MIA, making Dustin second guess all his actions. The film/series ends with all these characters meeting to celebrate Aaron's art piece (portrait of Jordan) being selected for an art show. The old and new friends connect and just reflect on life.

Just like its predecessor, this show doesn't have any drama. It follows a pretty straight forward path, showing us how these individuals are growing up with time and how their life is progressing. Normally, that makes sense, but even this time, I wished we saw more of character growth. I would have liked to see a lot more of Aaron and Julio, how they met, why was Julio not sure about serious dating etc. All the other characters including Jordan are given a specific story arc, but somehow never fully flushed out for the audience to really connect or care about them. It likely works in episodic format, but was a bit tricky in the version I saw. Also , I can't find much about the release dates of the show. It says it came out in 2022, one year after the first one; but when you watch it, it almost feels like it's likely 10 years old (because the way technology has evolved over time0. It just feels a little dated to watch it now. Anyway, overall it is a decent time pass. The actors are all pretty good and do and act and not their part really well. Julio was a hot hot guy. Sadly, the film never goes deep into any character's actual relationship that would make me critic deeper, but as a brushstroke of their parts, it was ok. Besides the overly stretched section of Dustin being completely ghosted by Sean, everything else was strictly ok and a decent one time watch. Something you see, you find it ok and not boring, but also something that doesn't stay with you after it's finished. (5/10)

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

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. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him. ON top of it, his parents sudden death coming back from a trip that he forced them to take, he gets completely dejected and decides to commit suicide.

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, ...

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...
