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

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

Dangerous Boys was dreadful. I got bored with the whole thing. I spend most of the movie, confused. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. The acting was okay. I feel it had many plot holes that not explained. They should have made it into a tv series so we could get to understand the characters and fix the plot. Would I watch it again? No. I might if there was a remake, but this movie just was so dull.

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.
