“Sashes & Hearts” Series Review (Ep.1 to 13)

I had hoped to enjoy this series. I really did. But the plain truth is, it is awful. It had so much going for it but it ended up being a semi-hot mess. It had its moments to be sure but there were not enough of them to save it from itself. Too bad because the subject matter was one that was unique and interesting. It was about the world of male pageantry. If it had only focused on that, this could have been a really great series. Instead, it went into the sensationalism and sleaziness of the industry. While I do not doubt that some of that does exist, the world of male pageantry would have been quite entertaining in and of itself to see. The world around the pageant became secondary to individual stories of some of the contestants, which for the most part was either dull and boring or titillating. The plots to these sub-stories were insipid and vapid and/or the surrounding characters became caricatures rather than examples of real people.

“If Memory Has Sound/The Sound of Nostalgia” Movie Review

Wow! This is an astonishing and brilliant film that will leave you breathless and undoubtedly lachrymose. Without doubt, this is also a short film (about 30 minutes), perhaps like no other you have ever seen before. I am not sure how to describe it. To be sure, it is open to all sorts of impressions. Mine of course would be no more correct than anyone else and therefore it would be unfair to superimpose my conclusions on how I saw this rich cinematic tapestry. However, you will get a hint by the words I use throughout this article as to how I saw this apotheosis. Undeniably, this story has been crafted to be open to interpretation.

BL Week in Review

Tomorrow marks the first day of Pride Month, and as we head into another June, I realize how fortunate I am to have discovered this genre. It helped me figure out who I am, and I will be forever grateful.

This is a fiery week because I get to put two more highly recommended series on my BL Watchlist: “Top Form” and “My Golden Blood”.

“Top Form” held its final episode fan meeting on Sunday, and concurrently released its final episode on Tencent/WeTV under VIP only on the same day. What an exhilarating ride, everyone. Absolutely, check it out, but be prepared for tears.
