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

Review

Oppressive Love is a movie based on ghosts and supernatural themes. I feel like this movie was a mess. It does have a Bl theme, but there is no process of how they got in their relationship. The acting was messy at time. It had good music for scenes. The plot was chopping and didn’t flow throughout the film. But this could be based on the fact that it was supposed to have a second movie but couldn’t due to China’s ban. I feel like the closer you find videos or TV shows that made, produce, or released close to the banned end up not having all the components that planed to have at the beginning of the plan. I don’t know if this is the truth or not or just something I have noticed about any Chinese movie or TV series made in 2016. Would you watch it again? No, the movie was a mess, and I felt like it was missing parts or just not connecting right.

Review

Bite Fight is a movie that centers on vampires and love. I will warn that this movie is tough to find due to copyright complaints. I could only watch the cut version, and the cut part is still somewhere float on the internet. I think the only real way to find the cut scenes is to look at fanvids. This movie has an excellent plot summary and trailers, but when you finally watch the video, you see how badly made it was. This movie, I think, would do an excellent job of being remade. You can tell that the budget was small. I don’t know since this took during the year that China did it Gay banned if it just got piece together at the last moment or it lost its budget for the boy love themes. I just have a feeling that the trailer came out before the ban, and the crew had an ” Oh Shit ” moment when the ban got enforced. I will say this is not the best of the best. The acting is particularly terrible at parts, and the CGI is something you expected in the 20 century. However, having all this downward spiral of issues, it kept my attention. I wish this got remade to fix the problems that it had. It really could even go as a short tv series too if they pushed it. I think because it had plotted the kept your attention, and the plot summary is unique at the time, it does an excellent job of being a good movie. Would I watch it again? If I could find all the uncut and better clarity of this movie, oh yeah. The plot just had me, or I am still living my supernatural boy love for these kinds of TV series and films.

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.

Part 2 of Ai no Kotodama

Ai No Kotodama

Movie Summary

Ootani and Tachibana have been inseparable since high school. Now that they’re in college, they live together, they’re happy and everything seems prefect. But their little world is disrupted when they meet an old high school friend, Yuki, who seems to have a crush on Tachibana, making Ootani feel jealous and insecure. Will Tachibana really choose him over a pretty girl? (Source)

Genre

Review

Ai No Kotodama is about Ootani and Tachibana, who have been boyfriends since high school. They happen to reunite with Yuki, a girl who is a friend of their high school years. I think Yuki was just someone who had a crush on Tachibana and just kind of a groupie of Ootani and Tachibana relationship because they are always together. Yuki kind of puts a wedge in Ootani and Tachibana’s relationship due to Ootani knowing that Yuki has a crush on Tachibana, his boyfriend, causing Ootani and Tachibana to fight, which like always has a lack of communication and hearing the other out. This film was not the best I have seen; it was alright. But I did like the scene where Tachibana and his friend are talking about what they love about their boyfriends; they say the thing people would think to be negative things that they love. It was different to see that. I am giving this movie a better rating only because I had to pause multiple times due to being interrupted, and I’m fighting some illness. Also, I did enjoy the character growth for Yuki to realize she wasn’t in love with Tachibana, but they want to have a romantic relationship like Ootani and Tachibana’s relationship. Would you watch it again? No, not really. The film felt rush for the plotline.

Review

All right, everyone, Tom Gay has a unique idea. However, it doesn’t full up to it. The whole story feels rushed, and there is no development. I know this movie is a small budget movie that made more than half a decade ago. However, the directors and writers still could have done more. The acting was okay. The end is disappointing. Most series and movies teach you a lesson at the end, and this film had nothing for you to learn from the plot. The two relationships are quite toxic in a way which makes the characters have no growth. The characters don’t learn anything. I would not recommend this to anyone. Would you watch it again? No, I would not watch this movie again. I might if it got remade with a high budget and change like the whole thing. When I read the summary, I thought that the partners of the kidnap would be the one ones to save their loved ones.

Welcome To My Blog

I made this blog for people who are looking for honest reviews of tv series and movies. I hope that I can warn people who have triggered by specific topics. Still, encourage people who are looking for something new. I plan to post two times a week.

Schedule

My schedule is the 2nd and 4th full week of the month

Wednesday is tv series reviews and

Friday is movie/short film reviews.

How will you review?

The tv series reviews are going to be review as the whole season/series. I will try my best not to spoil the series. However, I can’t make any promises.

My movie reviews will be one long review if the movie doesn’t have prequels or sequels. If it does, I will make a review of each film.

What format will the review be in?

Tv Series reviews will be the summary of the episode or series that the writers have written, my recap of my thoughts, and my rating out of 5 stars. I intend to link where I got the summary and where you can watch the series.

Movie reviews will be in the same format as tv series reviews.

Can we send in any recommendations?

Yes, I will try to review anything sent to me. However, it may take a while for you to see the review. Still, remember I have some limits to find your suggestions. I only have Xfinity, Netflix, and free sites that I can view. I only speak English. If this series is in a different language, please help me find a version with English subtitles. I am very open-minded to various series from across the globe.
