I am not a big fan of movies in general when compared to shows, because I always feel that the time constraints impose limitations on how much of a story can be told; most movies tend to fall short on doing justice to all the characters and subplots they introduce. In a rushed script, we are sometimes left hanging with respect to resolutions that the characters of the film deserve as people.

“Double Mints” Movie Review
There is a duality to BL that fans have come to respect and understand. On the surface, it is a place of attractive men, high definition pictures, with the expected payoff of sensual kisses as a given.
“Beef, Cupcake & Him” Movie Review
This short movie is simply astonishing. It starts out as another gourmet themed BL series which seems to be the latest trend in Boys’ Love as opposed to college settings. The story line is not necessarily unique but because of great character development, excellent acting, and an immersed story, this movie has become an early favorite of mine in 2022.
“Single All the Way” Movie Review
Be careful when you watch this Christmas-themed movie. It could land you into a diabetic coma from its sweetness and cuteness. Please do not misunderstand me. It is not a bad movie; it just is not my cup of tea, so to speak. Sure, it may make you feel good and perhaps even smile, but its own reality is a true fantasy.
“Sweet Curse” Movie Review
I’d like to know why the spells are in Japanese.
“Pornographer Spring Life” Movie Review
Japanese BL has long since had a presence worldwide for being unabashed; showing gay romance unapologetically and with respect.
“My Pistachio” Movie Review
The main leads even share the same first names—their chemistry was meant to be.
“Goodbye Mother” Movie Review
This is an astonishingly beautiful film. It is a classic tale of “Coming Out” to a family, for which the whole concept of gayness is either suppressed, ignored, or unthinkable.
“Please Tell Me So” Movie Review
That cigarette-lighting scene? Truly burned me.
“Evening Shadows” Movie Review
Magnificent and a true work of art!
