Movie Summary [I Am Not What You Want]

Title: I Am Not What You Want / 天使
Release Date: 2001
Language:  Cantonese

English Subtitles? –  Yes

Cast:
(actor – character)
Chet Lam  – Ricky
Nicky Hung – Mark
Joyee Lam – Mabel
Carol Chan – Olivia

Basic Plot Summary: 

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

 

After Ricky comes out to his family, he is cast out by his parents and now lives with his close friend Mark who has still not revealed his true feelings, not even to his girlfriend.
Mark finds one of Ricky’s magazines and becomes curious…he buys a magazine for himself but when Mabel (his girlfriend  visits he quickly hides it under the cover of the sofa, however his attempts to hide it fail when she sits down and discovers it. Thankfully, to avoid awkwardness she assumes it belongs to Ricky.
Mark and Ricky get closer and closer and it becomes obvious that Mark really cares for Ricky, one day after sitting on the roof and just talking, Mark indirectly confessed his feelings.

My Thoughts:

Short movie guys….short movie…
This movie was so sweet and super adorable!
Chet Lam and Nicky Hung are really really cute, and really great actors.

However, there is a definite lack of physical affection in this movie. I don’t mind too much because you can understand what is going on just by the way they behave around each other. For example, the day that Mark confessed(-ish) and they spent the night together, they could have either had sex, or just slept next to each other. Judging by the way they both acted during the night and the next morning I’m just going assume they made the sexy time.

The subtitled version I used to watch it….the subs weren’t that good, as they were white, so whenever they showed on a light background I had to guess what was going on.

 

I would have liked to have seen more action, but as I said before, it concentrates more on the emotional   side rather than the physical attraction between the guys.

I will rate it
6/10

Song Summary [下輩子再愛你 ]

Oh My GODDD I can finally do another song summary!!! I love BL Music Videos!!!!

(….prepare to be disappointed with this post lol)

 

下輩子再愛你 – Love Again in the Next Life

by 

Fan Si Wei – 范思威 

 

As usual, I have no idea what’s going on… 

So please forgive me if I get it completely wrong….which is very likely as i’m going in completely blind.

 

What I gathered:

2 guys : CuteGlassesGuy (CGG) and SexyDancingGuy (SDG) are lovers, but SDG is engaged to his dance partner(?) DancingLady (DL)

 

OH GOD THESE GUYS ARE ADORABLE!

DL sees them together and kinda…creates an awkward tension…

 

DL and SDG gets married, i think…naturally CGG is devastated…SOMETHING HAPPENS!

Next thing you know DL and SDG are in the car while CGG walks past with suitcases…SDG goes out to help him then suddenly CGG AND SDG are making out in the elevator its wonderful…it really is!

…until stupid DL gets out of the car to probably go find SDG and then sees them. She’s a bit pissed off.

 

Okay and now this bit confuses me so much, so it’s better if you watch it and decide what happens for yourselves.

Did SDG decide he didn’t want to be with DL and that’s why he got hit by that man? Are SDG and CGG now together? Is that why he gave him the ring?? But why is DL still wearing a wedding dress?!

Uh god i have no idea!!!! I guess reading the lyrics would help in this situation…lol

 

But in the end… basically what happens is that CGG ends up dying *uncontrollable sobs* and SexyDancingGuy is reminiscing on the extremely adorable times they had together….AWWWH ITS SO CUTE AND SAD

 

Now that’s the video, the song is really really good too!

 

My Thoughts:

 

WATCH THE VIDEO.

LISTEN TO THE SONG.

BUY THE CD.

DOWNLOAD THE SCREENSAVER OR SOMETHING.

 

This song is just too awesome NOT to do those things!!! Those two guys are just PERFECTION!!!!
But i’m so sad to see it end so badly.
Why does BL movies and songs and dramas and….other forms of media containing Boys Love have to have such depressing endings?! 😦

I realise i haven’t been very helpful….in fact, i haven’t been helpful at all Sorry about that! But watch the video….SERIOUSLY watch it!

HUMANITY: I DEMAND YOU LIKE THIS SONG!

The Episodes are really short….like 15 minutes long max.

This drama revolves around 6 guys:
Ben – 33 years old, still grieving over te death of his boyfriend Zac, he creates a blog called 99 Days
Mike – 28 years old, he lives with Ben…and is somewhat “free” he goes for fun more than love

This drama mostly speaks about HIV and the importance of being tested and having safe sex.
It starts out with Ben and Mike passing out red ribbons, because of World Aids Day, and we are introduced to the characters.  Mike meets Chris. Ben meets Tom and Don. Mike also wanders into Jerry.
Tom and Don are discussing Don’s head injury…he was beaten up because he was gay.
Mike’s tap is broken in his apartment, he calls for maintenance and who shows up? Chris!
something goes down…Mike does some flirting, some light molesting and despite being gay himself calls Mike a “stupid f*g”.and storms out.
as the drama goes on we learn more about the connection between each of the guys.

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

It was an alright drama…If the point was to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS then mission accomplished! 

I love the relationship between Tom and Don.
At first i was worried Tom was going to fall for Ben….I have a strict “If i think you two are meant to be together, Then YOU HAD BETTER BE TOGETHER” policy ^.^
I’m happy they got together but….they sure did take their time…

I thought Chris was adorable…and he reminds me of a guy i know…weird …
I thought he should either be with Will…or with Mike….so i’m glad it worked out 
Jerry should have been with Mike….but i guess Will is good enough too.
Mike was just plain creepy at times…..ahaha xD

Dora is like THE BEST SISTER EVER! I hope that if anyone has a brother who comes out they show them the same love and support that she showed Tom….uh i’m gonna cry now. She’s amazing!!

BUUUUT despite the cute actors…and the general positive awareness thing it had going on….It was a bit ‘lifeless’….i didnt LOVE it, and i probably wouldn’t watch it again.
Sorry!! 😦

I rate this drama
4/10

Can be found on YT!

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

Well….this movie was….good !
It annoys me when both people don’t feel the same thing, I HATE one sided loves….so for example in this one, Lan Yu was falling in love with Chen…but Chen was acting like a dumbass and avoiding his feelings…annoying!

But the story is nice, a little bit…repetitive…well, I thought so anyway.
No honestly, I don’t have anything REALLY bad to say..i just didn’t like it, I cant seem to justify why I didn’t like it, I just didn’t 🙂

Oh and there is some nudity….like…full frontal nudity, so if you don’t want to see anything like that….Close your eyes?! Just to warn you ^^

I rate:
4/10

Movie Summary [Bishonen]

Title : Bishonen / 美少年之戀

English Subs? – Yes

Cast:
Stephen Fung – Jet
Daniel Wu – Sam
Shu Qi – Kana

What To Expect
There is nothing particularly graphic, sex scenes are cut, there is also an implied rape scene (again, it has been cut)
Sad ending alert!

Basic Plot Summary:

Jet is a very handsome male prostitute who is incredibly narcissistic, he is fully entitled to be, because the man is gorgeous.When he was checking himself out in a window and young couple spot him. Jet awkwardly smiles and runs away, then has a change of heart and follows them.
Jet falls for Sam and the two begin hanging out…

My Thoughts

SPOILERS

The original post was on the 27th February 2012. It has been over 3 years since I wrote a post summarising this film. It was the worst post in the history of crappy posts, hopefully this update will be better and more informative!

I would firstly like to address how much of a ridiculous piece of stupid trash I was. This movie is really good!

I really liked the development of the two main guys, I thought it was really interesting. As the film progresses Sam’s history is revealed and his character starts making more sense. Jet changes his personality from an arrogant narcissist to a caring and innocent guy, just shows you how much he wants to be with Sam.

There was a serious web of connections in this film…everyone was connected somehow. Here is a breakdown:
First you have Jet who works and lives with Ching. Ching used to pine after a guy he worked in an office with called Fai. Fai, was with an aspiring singer called K.S. then K.S. and Fai parted ways and Fai became a policeman now going by Sam. Jet meets Sam and falls for him. Ching is still in love with Fai (aka Sam). Jet and Sam never officially get together, and K.S. is just floating about signing autographs and having sex,(he had sex with Jet once but I can assume he’s had multiple partners…)

I stated on my personal blog (extra feelings below) that I couldn’t really remember what this film was about but ohhhh boy. I remembered this film instantly when I saw Jet having dinner with Sam’s family. I remembered the ending. THE ENDING.

This film is really good.  If you read this post in 2012 then I’m sorry and please ignore everything I wrote. I really like this film! The ending was sad but it didn’t leave me emotionally distraught (looking at you Scud).

I will rate it

7/10
Originally I rated it 3/10 because, as previously stated, I am a pile of trash who doesn’t know good films when I watch them.
