Review

Two Weddings And a Funeral is just the movie to enjoy if you like comedy and to have a sober plot/theme. The film held my attention from beginning to end. It shows to the western audience what the LGBT+ community sometimes has to do to satisfied their parents or get them off their backs about getting married. It shows how the LGBT+ community comes together as a family. I like how it had characters from both the gay and lesbian sides were acing as a family. I believe, like most of the time, when you have any movie with the LGBT+ community in it, they focus on one letter. But that doesn’t mean we got a lot of screen time from the lesbian couple; the main focus was the central gay couple. It still makes me smile to think about how the couple that got married acted more playful and cared with each other. The cast was wondrous with showing the emotions that the audience needs to feel. I will say that the actors/actresses weren’t the best at some moments, but they still got feelings for the scene. This film had several important messages throughout the whole thing. One of the biggest ones was that you couldn’t run away from your problems and face them. How they played out the main characters facing their issues of being outing was realist, sometimes something terrible has to happen to give you that push to make you suck it up and face it no matter the effects it will have on your life and others. The other theme or lesson based on the famous saying if you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they’re yours. The saying showed wholesomely once you understand where the character is coming from because of their past. The film is just something you can watch and learn from to apply to your life. Would you watch it again? I think most likely, yeah, because it made me laugh and smile most of the time. It just gave me that feeling of longing for a comfortable place to belong. Also, the ending is the best; it what I think how some straight people think a gay wedding goes. 2 out of 5 stars

Sleepover

Movie Summary

Desperate to improve their social status, four best friends enter into an all-night scavenger hunt against the popular clique in their school. (Source)

Genre

Review

Sleepover is a 2000’s teen film that any girl wanted to have a moment of telling the popular bully that she isn’t better than anyone else due to her having a high school boyfriend when she just became a freshman in high school. I love how I remember knowing I had watched this movie in my past and told my sister to watch this movie. The longer we watch this movie, the more we more actors that are popular now, in the past ten years or just in your childhood. This film is just so funny. The writing is cheesy, but at the time that it got released, it was good. I recommend this movie for anyone who grew up in the late ’90s to mid-late 2000’s Disney. I love the fact that the main guy didn’t get about them stealing his underwear. This film is just something I was laugh pretty much throughout the whole movie. Would I watch this again? Yeah, this movie was just a nostalgia film that you come to love and enjoy.

I Am Not Okay with This Season 1

Series Summary

Sydney is a teenage girl navigating the trials and tribulations of high school while dealing with the complexities of her family, her budding sexuality, and mysterious superpowers just beginning to awaken deep within her.(Source)

Genre

Review

I Am Not Okay with This is just a show that I fell in love with in the first episode. I love the choice that they pick for the cast. I admire how they show how small towns are, where the setting stuck in the past due to most small towns not being the richest. I love outfits that Syd and Stanely wear throughout the whole season. This tv series had my attention the entire time. The only problem I had with this show is that it was only six episodes long. I think of you fell in love with the 2017 IT young cast, you will enjoy it. It’s just something as a teen would connect within away. I love the feel of the character and their relationships. Like how IT executed, it shows more of how preteen and teen act and say. I think most writers forget that just because parents have a hold of the situation in their home and think they shelter kids from the sinful passion of the world doesn’t mean when the kids get in the world, don’t act differently. Most of the time, when kids learn to cuss, it will be from other kids or just something that they overhear. Would you watch it again? Yeah, I plan to binge the whole season(s) when the new season(s) comes out.

Season 1 of I Am Not Okay with This

Secretly, Greatly

Movie Summary

They are ambitiously dispatched to South Korea, where each disguises himself as a fool, an aspiring singer, and a high school student. Passing boring time without receiving any orders from the North, they gradually get used to life as ordinary neighbors in a small town until one day, their mundane lives are turned upside down when a “secret and great” mission is suddenly assigned to them.

Genre

Review

Secretly, Greatly a movie that took me for a surprise. I love the soundtrack that producers use for the film in fight scenes throughout the whole thing. I will say there is a little bit of bromance if you read between the lines. How I found this movie was a bl or bromance compilation video. I love how the actors portray their characters. I didn’t expect the ending to make me weep. The end is guessable, but I think as audience members we hope for the opposite. I won’t tell you if the tears were happy or sad tears. I will say I expected a whole different movie from the summary, but I’m satisfied with it. I feel like how they portray the three main characters having a brotherly bond play with the audience’s emotions. I enjoyed that the main focus was that they all had someone close to their hearts that they would rebel their whole country. Would I watch it again? I don’t think I would personally, however, I would watch it if I were showing someone who has never seen it or if it was on a streaming series available in my country.

Review

Buddy Children/The Brother has a weird summary for it, but I have seen FMV about so I gave it a chance. I enjoyed the movie for the most part. However, I was not too fond of the ending. The ending has the opening feeling to it. You know the type where you, the audience, decide on what happened. I feel like opening ending has that almost safe space for director and writers to use. However, it works for only certain movies and shows. I think they should have closed this up with a close cut ending.

I would say it border on bromance and bl (boy love). It’s a movie that can be confusing to anyone who doesn’t pay attention to the plot. I didn’t get bored. It had my attention the whole time. The movie reminds me of a low budget movie that you would see on like YouTube, Tumblr, and other video streaming sites. The actors were normal for the film. The movie does have some funny moments. The film gives me that feeling like it could have been a show with less than ten episodes from the plan plot. I think it gives it more development to the characters. The only reason I am saying this is there is a plot hole that if it had more time to explain it would help with the development with the main characters relationship. Buddy Children/The Brother is a movie I would love to see be remade to a short show or just developed more. I would most likely not watch it again for the feel that it gives off to me. It just gives me the feeling of this movie was made to be viewed only once, maybe five times in your life if you want to see what you didn’t catch the first or second time.

Review

Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey 2 is season 2 of Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey, and it is a mess. I’m going to start by saying for some reason I couldn’t pay attention to the relationship drama between Emma and Porsche. I really can’t tell you anything that was going on with between their scenes. I even struggled to watch the Pick and Rome scenes because it was just a drama f**k. I wish this had been thought out and written better, but they just wrote the main point while being drunk. They should not have put added drama with Emma and Porsche. They should have been like Pick and Rome were in the first season but together. I do have to say I’m just glad that Our Sky is happening so I can get more on Pick and Rome’s relationship. The ending is all right. Would you watch it again? I don’t know. I felt bored for most of it. However, I am the type of person who tortures themselves.

However, now that Belle’s attention towards him seems to have decreased, S realizes he has feelings for the girl. S is now the one chasing after Belle and he will do his best to win her back. But it’s not as easy as he thinks. (Source)

Genre

Review

My Lil Boy 2 gave me mix feelings that I can’t explain. I was only watching to see how it would end. I still have second-hand embarrassment for the characters. One of the main problems in this season is S is changing himself for Bella which in the first season Bella had tried and realized that is exhausting to be someone who you are not. I wish that they didn’t introduce new characters like Toy and Mayrin, to have add drama. I wish they had just worked with the characters that they had from season 1. I would say they drew season 2 out for a good reason except for that season 1 was too short of putting all the drama they want in 6 episodes. However, I think this is the writers’ style for Senior Secret Love Series because Puppy Honey 1&2 is the same way. My attention was lost a few time in this show. I was mostly rolling my eyes at the characters for their dumb decisions and what they were saying. I hate that the characters would ask yes or no question like do you like me and then get an answer like I don’t you should change to fit in my life, you should be you.
As an audience member, I just thought how is that a right answer to a yes or no question. If someone you like can’t answer a yes or no question with yes or no, then move on, they are just wasting your time. I love the characters of Bella’s friends, P’Pang and Aom, S, and Taewin. This season just made me love them. I hate Bella, P’Boss, and P’Orn. Would you watch this again? No, I had an awful time keeping my concentration on this show.

Genre

Review

Bake Me Love is a short story that just gave me mixed feelings. I don’t know how I feel about it. The story didn’t catch my attention; however, I didn’t push it away. It had a lot of different plot lines going on that were not explain. I feel the one about the other baker story wasn’t beneficial for the story. The only thing we get is that she was jealous of Mielle. However, how long has she hated Mielle? Why did Kim and his ex break up? Other characters stories left for us to guess what happened? I did love the friendship between Rose and Mielle. I do not particularly appreciate that Rose was stereotype gay. I hate another relationship after all the drama happened and may me feel a bit sorry for one of the characters. However, it showed growth for him. Would you watch this again? No, I feel like for me it was something that I would watch if I had utterly nothing else to watch.

Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey

Series Summary

So Porsche and his best friend, Pik, try to recruit Emma and her best friend, Rome. This is because Emma’s uncle is the Dean. The catch–Emma loves cats but is terribly afraid of dogs. Will this be the end of Porsche’s dog and cat club or the start of a beautiful friendship between everyone? Or maybe even more? (Source)

Genre

Review

Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey is very innocence with love. You have a boy who wants to have a club to help stray dogs and cats. The plot is at the right speed. The acting is above average, and I did like the process of how you see both couples fall in love. One pair is still on the fence of if they are a couple. However, it seems like they are closer to being a couple. Like most drama, there is a problem once the main couple gets close to revealing their feelings. I like how they do show what the club does to help animals. However, I think the main point of the theme is if you are going to face your fears do it in small steps and do it with the people you know. Would you watch it again? Yeah, it was, and the chemistry that the actors have with each other is fantastic. Since it is compact, I would recommend this to everyone.

Love Love You

Movie Summary

Part 2 of Love’s Coming movie.  (Source)

Genre

Review

Love Love You is the sequel to Love Coming. You must watch it first! You know this was going to be bad quick when you introduce your boyfriend as your neighbor. Most of the time, when you have a love triangle, you always hate the one who is breaking your ship. However, Sunz is the sweetest. There is some heartfelt moment between Gump and his mom. This movie theme is that communication is key to your relationship. I can see the symbolism that they were trying to show with the kiss between Nai and Bon. It is that Nai having old feelings reappear for Bon. When they kiss, he realizes that his affections for Gump are stronger. It also can be like this is the last kiss to close this old relationship that will never happen again. This scene does not mean I think doing this is the right thing. I do believe their friends are still funny. It was sweet that they still care for Gump and Nai relationship enough to help get them back together. Would I watch it again? Maybe if I was bored. I would recommend viewing both movies.
