You Should Meet My Son! 2

I had seen the part 1 of this film back in 2010. God! How time flies. I knew that there was a sequel to this movie, but somehow I did not get my hands on it until now. Well! It's never too late. Made 8 years after the original, this sequel takes the story forward of Brin and his mother and aunt. Having read my original review, I quite liked the fit, but then those days were different. I was relatively new to watching queer content and was just happy to see whatever I can. Now that I have seen more than enough, I can say that I may not have rated the film as high today. Havig said that, strictly as a pure comedy, this sequel is not bad. You just have to not look for logic, but immerse yourself in this simple, fun-loving story.

Brain and hs go-go boy fiancé Chase are now preparing for their wedding, with his over-enthusiastic mother Mae and aunt Rose (both from part 1) threatening to take over the planning. As the wedding draws nearer, Mae decides to invite Chase's estranged mother Irene , whose arrival opens old wounds and causes plenty of issues. Despite Chase's warning to not do that, Mae takes this step and now it backfires. Irene is determined to stop the wedding at all costs and Chase's past creates a divide with Brian as they try to keep things on track.A series of funny incidents happen like Mae trying the group of people who are preparing to protest at the wedding, change the banners. Or when Rose is trying to keep Irene busy so that she can keep her away from spoiling the wedding. We then have Chase's bachelor party the night before wedding and Irene and Rose dress in drag to attend the party, with Irene hoping that she can stop the wedding. We see some minor argument and discomfort between Chase and Brian about Chase's past hookups and how he slept around, but eventually like mature adults, they talk it out. Eventually Even Irene sees the sense of it, especially after having met Brigand how sorted he is and is nice guy. The film ends with the wedding and the possibility of another part. I wonder if they ever made part 3!!

I had seen the original film such long time, that I had no idea that the cast was changed between the two films. Who cares!! Everyone in the film did what they were asked of and they all perfectly fit their part. Brian is that straight-ish nerdy teacher guy and fits perfectly and Chase, with his hot perfect 6-pack body balances him. You can see how and why everyone is surprised on how they got together but love is love. The two form a believable chemistry that runs through the film and some of the best scenes are when they are on screen together. The real scene stealer of the film is actress playing Irene. She is the deeply religious woman who is hell bent in stopping this wedding and she gets some really funny lines like every time she is surprised on where is leather whips and chains etc. The film is giving the message of acceptance, relevant as much in today's time, but does that with a whole lot of humor. Rose was funny but the weakest link here is Mae. The actor had no charm at all. If you’re looking for a queer comedy full of gags and a quirky storyline but aren’t looking for the best writing, then this is a good queer comedy to watch. (6/10)

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...
