All of Us Strangers
(2023)

all of us are strangers..and connected with each other.
This is nothing like a regular Gay drama. I would have loved to see more skin of Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. Its so fascinating of the human being that two strangers can connect with each other so quickly and bond emotionally enough to plough into each others deepest thoughts.

Harry would have loved the company of Adam. After all, existence is change and only change is constant as Adam shows that all he loved changes eventually and none of it he can control. I loved the subtleness of the characters, but yet portrays a very strong state of mind to not let go of the things we love, so selfish human are.

Just show so much of my life, ahh where is my Harry!!

All of us are together yet lonely, all of us love yet depart, all of us care yet doubt, all of strangers..

Maestro
(2023)

And the Oscar goes to ... Bradley Cooper
Oh my God, what an amazing performance and I must say I saw Leonard Bernstein's life through the brilliant act of Bradley Cooper. I was so glued all the time looking at my favourite cast, "The"Bradley Cooper and the sexy Matt Bomer.

The Symphony No.2 in C minor Resurrection by Gustav Mahler conducted by Leonard Bernstein played by Bradley Cooper is as soul touching that it brings tears in my eyes, every time I see it, so intense and yet too beautiful. Each scene a gem knotted together to form this beautiful drama. One of the things I loved are the overlapping dialogues of the conversations between Leonard and Felicia, they have so much to say to each other, simply awe inspiring.

And the camera work is so natural that I see folks talking in the scene and yet they are not visible or they are tucked away to show up boldly of them, wow, simply wow!!

Making the handsome Bradley Cooper look like someone else seems too hard, Bradley is so natural and so romantic with all that music, smoking and people in his arms, what a life!!

Wow blown away and I am in awe with this movie!!

Yong jiu ju liu
(2009)

who has a permanent residency in this world?
While there is a deep and really relatable vibe in this movie about how we are born and live, only to die. There is nothing permanent in this existence. But..

What I see is that love surpasses all realms of theory of existentialism, only true souls know they belong to each other and still live in the barbaric human society with rules that no one understands. This movie is so much in tune with my thoughts of looking for permanency, and being gay.

When I see, Sean Li playing Ivan, it just felt like a whole documentary of a person's life looking into each aspect of a person from childhood to his death, the spread of life seen, rather seen too closely of Ivan and Windson, so up close and personal. Though Ivan sees a grim life, he brings in the essence of love, be it his grandmother or Windson. Love wins!!

I loved all aspects of this romantic saga and yet felt ok to shed a few tears in the end. Isn't live all about just as in this film??

Ok next on to An fei ta ming...

I Carry You with Me
(2020)

Love knows no borders, just blissful togetherness...
What a movie, amazing screenplay, great cast, loved every bit of it. True love spans through timelines, through borders, through human made policies. The human societies, and that, my friends, is not natural, true love between two souls is not.

Loved Iván played by the sexy Armando Espitia and enjoyed Gerardo played by the charming Christian Vazquez. They are intertwined with each other, they know nothing else by being together no matter where on God's dear Earth they are on.

I cried in tears in the end with all their triumphs and tribulations. Their simple and yet a complicated turn of events in their life knows only one language, the language of love.

Its totally a different thing when two men are attracted to each other by their souls and they knew it even before they met. A good movie and loved the screenplay when past and present merge and its a very well done cinematographic experience. Thanks a bunch!!

Kimi ni wa Todokanai.
(2023)

A Heartthrob Journey Of Navigating First Love (and Friendship)
Kakeru and Yamato shows that when two souls know each other, nothing stops them from being together. This is a sweet story about how feelings can be complicated, but yet so sweet and subtle.

Kimi ni wa Todokanai is fresh, clean and feels like a dream. The backdrops, the bridges, the costumes, the gardens are so perfect that the entire series just laid out a nice theme for these young lovers. And I loved every scene of this series.

Yamato played by Kentaro Maeda is the handsome young man who looks stunning in all those statement clothes and wraps and overalls. But I just fell in love with Kakeru played by the charming Haru Kashiwagi and his expression of being confused or just having a bad hair day. Both these men have the perfect chemistry of hesitation, affection, confession, feelings, confusion and ultimately love for each other.

I loved to see the pair in each other arms. When I find the person who loves only me in all the world, I would drop everything to be with him and just to be there in his arms.. Kakeru, you did the right thing, trust your heart!!

Weekend
(2011)

Be attached, just yet and not detached, have a nice weekend!!
Lucky are those souls who just delve into the pure consciousness of being in love. This film is about pure love that is so strong that it does wither in separation.

Loved the beautiful Glen and Russell. The are made for one another and it seems like they knew each other even before they met. Not a dull moment throughout, very captivating intimacy and its simple and totally relatable. Russell has a hesitation to express himself, though he loves being gay and then comes Glen who teaches him to ignore all the BS around them and to embrace themselves with a complete mind.

What I see is that no matter who we are, we have a personality together and to be with each other in that moment and it makes it so special. A great cinematography, loved the screenplay, just loved Tom Cullen and Chris New in their all natural self. I felt like it was their own story and not a film, thanks for a wonderful piece!!

We Best Love: No.1 for You
(2021)

I'll be there for you, because you are there for me too..
Binge completed this series for the love of Sam Lin and Yu Teng Yang. What a powerful performance of love, hate, betrayal and longing for each other. Nothing in the world can keep two souls apart when they know they are bonded by true love. Both S1 and S2 are classical, somewhere I missed seeing more romantic scenes between Shi-De Gao and Shu-Yi Zhou :)

I hated Shi-De Gao for what he did to Shu-Yi Zhou, but his love for Yi was just so much that it didn't stop him from coming back to Yi. I cried when Shi-De Gao comes to Yi's house and he is so painful that he can't break his promise, but yet can't not tell the truth to Yi. What a brilliant performance by Sam Lin in that scene. You can feel it in his performance and I cried along.

I have become a huge fan of Chih-Tian Shih who plays Zhen-Xuan Yu. What a great cast, i just couldn't get over it, i was just thinking about them the whole week, miss you guys!! Lots of love!!

Semantic Error
(2022)

A Sweet Love Story, My Vanilla Ice Cream..
The laws of attraction..oh, how can they stay apart. I love this sweet story of Jang Jae Young and Cho Sang Woo, who knew each other even before they met. Their attraction for each other knows no error or malfunction.

This is a pure, clean, fresh story of two souls who are at odds with each other, but turns out they can't keep away from each other too. If only life was so simple, the pain of anxiety, separation can just add to the sweetness of love. This story shows how one can be totally attracted and totally hated at the same time and love wins at the end. Whatever these characters have brought out is just pure innocent fall to their knees love.

Not a single dull moment in this series, just kept me wanting for more. Park Seoham and Jae Chan Park are just amazing in their roles and so natural when at together. Loved every scene of this series..

Leave the World Behind
(2023)

I'll be there for you, will you be there for me?
I loved the cast and there were so many Oscars with them. The whole movie was gripping and mysterious. One of my favourite directors Sam Esmail, I was looking for something more of a classic run for my money ending though.

What I failed to understand in all this is why the Rembrandts had to end this movie. While the movie faded, it let me thinking about Matthew Perry and just flooded my memories of f.r.i.e.n.d.s.

Loved the cinematography, nice camera zooming work going up and down the stairs and oh what a repeat i must say. Nice houses in Philly, this one was like the same used in Margaux.

Lets leave the world behind, is there going to be a part-2 where they say whats going to happen afterwards, looks like the movie ended abruptly.

Oppenheimer
(2023)

You and I are made up of each other..Oppie, Oppie Oppie!!!
What of a world that is void of challenges, what of a world that is void of chaos of wars, what of a world that knows humanity. Torn between his love for the country and his passion of being a physicist, Oppie sees a world made up of atoms and how much we can harness the energies of our universe in understanding our own folly, that we as humans have gone beyond the lines to discover the secrets that make up our entirety.

Perplexing as it may seem that all of us are made up of each other, all of us are the same, yet we fight with ourselves with ulterior motives and to see our own pulverize in the laugh of death. Oppie is a mastermind and his passion for quantum theories has made him the death itself. The is made with pure love of film making and the way how dubbing is not done in some cases to how the lighting reflects Oppie in all his moods, just brilliant. I was hoping Einstein could have been a little younger :).

Princeton, Copenhagen, Los Almos, Caltech, AEC, Cambridge, heard it all in the movie and feels the same catch as I would have been a witness to those events that lead to this point in time.

This movie is so raw and every scene of this movie takes me into the complexities and passion and vulnerabilities of this physicist. Where as he can read and speak Dutch (I thought it was closer to German than Dutch) and Sanskrit, it felt like a life story where I was just mutely sitting with them all throughout, it was a breeze watching all my favourite stars play their pivotal roles, the ones with Oscars and those in the line. Thanks Mr. Christopher Nolan for this extraordinary take on this quantum topic.

It made me sad about all the thousands of lives were lost and still affected even today due to what had happened and what the physicists didn't hope would happen, a 9 starer maybe?

Oh Murphy is so exceptionally brilliant in this character, love the part of Emily Blunt, Rami Malek, the enigmatic RDJ. I saw Jack Quaid in a surprise role. Loved it!!

Our Skyy 2
(2023)

Skyy 2 Review - An ode to Pat & Pran
I can never get over the Bad Buddy series. I have seen a lot of Gay drama and Bad Buddy series was a gem. I immediately fell in love with Pat and Pran and cried with them in emotional scenes, this became very close to me.

I was looking at behind the scene video of Pat and Pran and saw that they are also in Our Skyy 2, my heart jumped with joy and I couldn't resist to watch this series of being a PatPran fan myself. I didn't want anything of any other pairs in the series, no offence, but I just wanted to soak into the Pat and Pran being in love again.

I skipped all the way to last 3 episodes and boy was it a sweet cup cake. I was hoping that Pran and Pat will make it to the bed and share a light selfless moment with each other. But all I saw was a PG-12 version of Pat and Pran, nothing more. I was kinda disappointed that they did not show the love scenes of Pat and Pran and it just kept me saddened, with asking each other scores.

I love the cast, I love their chemistry and not sure if they had an issue off screen, it was quite evident that it was a pain to just watch them kiss without emotions in this series. Pat was all ready and looks like Pran was the one who did not give in. Pat looks way too skinner than the Bad Buddy series. It was a good story but nonetheless it was a clean show, a clean family show.

I am over it, but still a huge fan of the PatPran combo, will always be!! Love y'all!

Nuovo Olimpo
(2023)

a beautiful love story
The love of Enea and Pietro was known to each other even before they had met. The beautiful Pietro is ever so attracted to Enea in their first look. The story takes a beautiful and hesitant route but they just can get their hands off of each other.

Oh dear God, why is this so? What a movie that spans timelines and magic and so romantic and kept my eyes moist. Wicked world that keeps two souls separated while they are meant to be one in the pizza shop with red wine. "Keep the map so the space and time do not come in the way", but sadly space and time did come between these beautiful souls. It made me cry when Enea finds Pietro's letter that Titti gave him.

Enea and Pietro's romance is just sweet as Jam. If you've tried it, you will definitely know that!!

Bad Buddy
(2021)

Innocent Fresh Pure Love
Oh my God!! What a fantastic series. From starting to end, it is a perfect story of two people, obeying laws of attraction towards each other and truly becoming what Pat and Pran are all about. Loved every scene of this series.

This is a very interesting series where I felt so much connected with the entire cast, be it Ink, Pa, Korn, Wai and of course the enigmatic Pran and Pat. What a beautifully played saga of love birds flying high and low, yet they live by knowing they have each other.

Very clean series, all fresh and neat and just like a dream, so pure and so beautiful faces and I have never felt that this is a series, but it was like I am truly seeing a life story. I laughed with them and I cried every time Pran felt that emotion towards Pat. Yes the famous balcony scene gives me goosebumps all over. Pat is uncontrollably attracted head over heal to Pran. While Pran is taking it slow like the controlled and an organized guy, but Pran knows his heart belong to the one and only Pat.

I wish I had friends like Pran and Pat in my life, it is a true blessing that they have this connection onscreen and off-screen. I am in love with Ohm's sweet smile and I am also ever in deep love with Nanon's cuteness only revealed by Ohm. You were among the best cast that is going be in my memory for a long long time to come. Hope to meeting you!!

Fellow Travelers
(2023)

Wow!! Just swooped away!! Brilliantly Amazing!!
Hawk and Tim are born to be with each other even before they have met. They know instantly, like any other gay men, that their strong attraction for each other, pulls them back together much stronger each time they are apart, and they come back to each others arms like moth attracted to light.

Every Hawk and Tim scene is so connecting, I see myself as Tim and yearning and "kneeling in praying" for Hawk's attention, and to let Hawk raid Tim in all posts. Like his name, the Hawk gets what it wants and has a precision vision to its prey..er..Tim, I meant Tim, sorry.

Phew..I felt this series so close to my heart. Hawk has a plastic-y emotionless look, that justifies his character of being that Washington Govt. Officer always watching out for themselves. But with Tim, Hawk just shows how vulnerable he is and oh boy how exciting it is to see those pure souls engage in a divine melody of togetherness. Skippy shows all flavors of innocence that makes him pure with Hawk.

I have grown a new found love for Mr. Jonathan Bailey and a continued love for that gorgeous, cute and just perfect blue eyed guy, Mr. Matt Bomer.

The Lavender scare, McCarthyism and such have been there for ages throughout history, but just in different forms. But amidst all that chaos, there blooms a true and eternal love of two people. Being gay, I can just barely phathom, how devastating their lives could have been in those days. I struggle even to this day.

Each time I see such series, I am reminded of their struggles who have paved the way for all of us, and I revel in their onscreen emotions and cry with them and laugh along their folly. This series has all the pure excitement of gay sexual experiences and wait for much more to come. It has BDSM, blowjob, handjob, bareback love, foot fetish, armpit fetish (wow that way Hawk digs in to Tim's), kissing and nipple play.

This is a gem of a series, loved it and waiting for all of the remaining episodes.
