B&B (2017)
Hmmm...slow and did not really got me hooked
**B&B Review**
The leads in "B&B" were hot, and I was entertained. However, there were too many twists, and I don't really think the film qualifies as a thriller. As always, Tom Bateman is stunning and a very convincing top. Seal Teale is super sexy, but James Tratas was the real treat here. If you don't have much to watch, give it a go.

The Man with the Answers (2021)
I want a sequel...not happy with the ending
"The Man with the Answers" is slow but worth it. The leads' chemistry is decent, and both are stunning, particularly Anton Weil. While the story is boring and the film drags, the chemistry between the characters and their growing enjoyment of each other are highlights. The ending is poorly written, but the film has so much potential that I would love to see a sequel to explore where their relationship goes

Maschile singolare (2021)
Romance and character development masterpiece
"Mascarpone" is a gay masterpiece; I have not seen a film like this in a very long time. Contrary to the general consensus, I believe the rating should be way higher. This film excels where most gay films fall short: character development. Every character is fully fleshed out, making their journeys deeply engaging and relatable.
Italy has been bringing some serious gay cinema lately, and "Mascarpone" is a prime example. The movie is superb, and our community needs more films like this. The story is heartfelt, the direction is impeccable, and Lorenzo Adorni is simply gorgeous. This film is a must-watch for anyone seeking quality gay cinema.
Ezrah Mudag (2022)
Opportunity missed, what for the handsome leads.
Concerned Citizen had an incredible amount of potential, but unfortunately, it fell short of delivering on its promise. The lead actors were the standout elements, bringing depth and nuance to their roles that made the film somewhat engaging. Their performances were compelling and sincere, providing a glimmer of what the movie could have been.
However, beyond the leads, the film struggled to find its footing. The storyline felt disjointed, and the pacing was uneven, leading to a viewing experience that was more frustrating than fulfilling. There were moments that hinted at greatness, but they were fleeting and overshadowed by missed opportunities.
In the end, *Concerned Citizen* is a film that had the ingredients for success but failed to fully capitalize on them. It's a reminder that strong performances alone can't carry a film; the script and direction need to be equally strong to create a truly memorable piece of cinema.
Metro Sexual (2019)
Riley Notthingham is all there is in this show.
Metro Sexual - A Missed Opportunity
Metro Sexual offers little of substance, failing to deliver a compelling story or memorable performances. The plot is thin and the pacing sluggish, making it a challenge to stay engaged.
However, the serie's one redeeming quality is its gorgeous Australian lead, who manages to hold your attention even when the narrative does not. Despite this, it's not enough to save the show from being forgettable. A bigger production could have had a much better impact.
Overall, Metro Sexual is not funny and not worth watching, aside from the talented main actor. The show falls short in almost every other aspect.
Câmp de maci (2020)
A missed opportunity
Poppy Field offers little of substance, failing to deliver a compelling story or memorable performances. The plot is thin and the pacing sluggish, making it a challenge to stay engaged.
However, the film's one redeeming quality is its sexy lead, who manages to hold your attention even when the narrative does not. Despite this, it's not enough to save the movie from being forgettable.
Overall, Poppy Field is not worth watching, aside from the attractive main actor. The film falls short in almost every other aspect.
You can stop reading it right now and there is nothing else to be added to this movie review.
Boy Culture: Generation X (2021)
A Disappointing Sequel
Boy Culture: Generation X fails to capture the magic of the original. The acting is choppy and inconsistent, making it hard to connect with the characters. The storyline is disjointed and unengaging, tackling contemporary issues in a superficial way.
This sequel is not worth the watch and tarnishes the legacy of the original film. Boy Culture should have remained a cherished memory.

This sequel is not worth the watch and tarnishes the legacy of the original film. Boy Culture should have remained a cherished memory.
Patterns (2023)
Mediocre
Patterns may not be the pinnacle of dramatic storytelling, but it's worth tuning in for a few standout reasons. The show is graced by the stunning Matthew Simpson, whose performance adds a layer of depth that the script lacks. Alongside him, the gorgeous Jack Armstrong brings a captivating presence that lights up the screen. And let's not forget the zaddy Ben Cohen, whose charisma and seasoned talent provide a magnetic pull that keeps viewers engaged.
However, beyond these exceptional performances, the show struggles. The younger cast members deliver subpar acting, which often feels forced and unconvincing. The storyline itself lacks coherence and fails to offer anything truly compelling or original. In essence, while "Patterns" flounders in its narrative and overall execution, the remarkable contributions of Simpson, Armstrong, and Cohen make it a worthwhile watch for those seeking a bit of eye candy and charm amidst the mediocrity.
Baby Steps (2023)
Cute movie should have better hating
"Baby Steps" is a thoroughly entertaining film that I highly recommend. The cast is great, delivering strong performances that bring depth to their characters. The storyline is very compelling, exploring the challenges and triumphs of a gay couple seeking to have a child. The leads are undeniably hot, adding an extra layer of appeal. Overall, "Baby Steps" is a must-see for its engaging plot and excellent cast.

Beautiful Something (2015)
All were beauty
Beautiful Something" is an engaging and entertaining film that I wholeheartedly recommend. The story intricately weaves together the lives of four gay men over the course of one night in Philadelphia, capturing their struggles, desires, and connections. Each character is compelling, and the performances are strong, making their journeys feel authentic and deeply personal.
The cast is undeniably attractive, adding an extra layer of appeal to the film. Their chemistry is palpable, and it brings a raw, sensual energy to the screen.
One of the highlights for me was the ending. It ties the various storylines together beautifully, offering a satisfying conclusion that leaves a lasting impression. Overall, "Beautiful Something" is a captivating watch, blending poignant storytelling with a visually appealing cast, making it a must-see.
Love in Country (2023)
Decent
**Love in Country: A Charming Yet Flawed Romance**
"Love in Country" is an entertaining and heartfelt film that captures the essence of young love amidst the turmoil of war. The storyline is engaging, blending romance and drama in a way that keeps viewers invested in the characters' journeys. However, the film's low budget is evident, particularly in its visuals and CGI, which lack the polish and realism seen in higher-budget productions. This occasionally pulls the audience out of the immersive experience.
The cast is undeniably charming, with the actors bringing a youthful energy and sincerity to their roles. Despite their cuteness, the performances are somewhat inconsistent. Notably, the portrayal of Alexander stands out-but not necessarily for the right reasons. His character's physical appearance and demeanor make it hard to believe he would ever make it into the war, which adds an unintended layer of implausibility to the story.
Overall, "Love in Country" is an enjoyable watch for those who appreciate romantic dramas, but be prepared for some rough edges due to its budget constraints and occasional acting hiccups.
8 años (2022)
Ok Film, wish I was a bit shorter
"8 Years" was a bit too long and hard to follow at times, causing me to get distracted. However, what saves the movie is the compelling story, strong acting, and the mature ending. The conclusion was fitting for a happy eight-year relationship, offering a satisfying and realistic portrayal of long-term love. Despite its pacing issues, the film ultimately delivers an emotional and engaging experience.

Devuélveme La Noche (2022)
Little gem from Colombia
"Give Back the Night" is a series I recommend, despite the last two episodes and the side parents' story not adding much. I got a bit lost in those parts and didn't understand what the writers wanted with it, especially since the two amazing lead characters had a story that could have gone much deeper. Both leading actors were very cute and delivered strong performances. I'm also impressed with the series overall, even though it is low-budget and from Colombia. I'm pleasantly surprised by its quality and charm.
You can stop reading now as I stongly believe my review tells all you in fact need to know about this show, we can only hope a second season is on the making.
Do Lado de Fora (2014)
Clichê and annoying
Boys in Brazil" was truly awful. There's nothing good in it: the story is bad, the acting is terrible, and the overdone storyline misses the mark by far.
The pacing is painfully slow, the dialogue is cringe-worthy, and the characters are one-dimensional.
This film is a disappointing rehash of tired clichés and fails to bring anything new or engaging to the table. Even the cinematography is uninspired. Save your time and skip this one entirely; it's not worth the watch.
The homophobic family is overdone and the Markus delusional and the type of character that is basically impossible to relate to.
Skip this one, cause not even a sexy scene is there to watch.
Ranchlands (2019)
Skip this one
"Ranchlands" was truly awful. There's nothing good in it: the story is bad, the acting is terrible, and the overdone storyline misses the mark by far. This film is a disappointing rehash of tired clichés and fails to bring anything new or engaging to the table. Save your time and skip this one entirely.
I cannot fathom that this movie was made by the same people who made Redwoods

The Drover's Wife: The Legend of Molly Johnson (2021)
This needs to be seen by more people
"The Drover's Wife: The Legend of Molly Johnson" is a truly remarkable Australian film, loosely based on The Bulletin's 1982 story.
Leah Purcell, a legend in her own right, excels in acting, producing, and directing this gripping tale.
The film offers an engaging story that explores themes of resilience and survival in the Australian outback.
It's a great Australian movie that showcases the harsh beauty of the land and the strength of its people. Purcell's multifaceted talent elevates this powerful and compelling narrative.
This is a must watch watch regardless whether you are Australian or not.
You & I (2014)
Germans !!
You and I is a must-watch for anyone craving a blend of romance and friendship. With three incredibly attractive leads, the screen practically sizzles with their chemistry. But beyond the eye candy, the film's heart lies in its portrayal of a beautiful friendship blossoming amidst life's trials. And oh, the ending! It's a satisfying conclusion that'll leave you with a warm heart and a smile. Trust me, this one's worth the watch.
That is al I have to say about the film and I think my review covers it all, but IMDb needs more characters to fill up this silly part. If you have read the first paragraph you are good to go.
Arrête avec tes mensonges (2022)
Simply stunning
I went into this film not knowing it is based in a book, which I have no idea how the book is, however I must say this movie is simply stunning, everything about it is just gorgeous. The acting, the place where it is set. The story. Some scenes I had tears in my eyes and I am not a person who cries in movies but this one deeply touched me.
Pros.
1. The story is just so captivating and stunning, get ready for wet eyes.
2. The acting is simply superb, some interactions are truly amazing.
3. The leads specially Guillaume and Victor.
Cons.
I believe this is the first time I have absolutely nothing to remark about a film.
Enjoy the movie,!!!
Drifter (2023)
Give it a miss
Honestly there is nothing on this movie that was good and there also nothing that was bad, nothing really happens.
The characters are boring and even the main character is underdeveloped. It is simply a movie that you watch not really pay attention. I was "entertained" enough as Drifter was chosen to be at the New Farm Queer Film Festival which happens a few hundred meters from my house, otherwise I would never have picked Drifter.
Pros.
1. Berlin setting
2. Cute boys
3. The firs scene
Cons.
1. The film is very slow, it should have been a short
2. Underdevelopment of characters
3. There is not message.
Stand (2014)
Watch it
I did enjoy the movie the leads were great. The film does do a great job and showing how it must be to be in a country like Russia.
You see the end coming but the end end is great. The movie per se can be slow and a bit too long, but the message is simply beautiful.
In a bit shell
Pros
1. The leads, both guys are great on their respective parts and the chemistry they share is fascinating.
2. The message is powerful and the film does convey it outstandingly.
3. The story, so relevant to this day and eta
Cons.
1. It could have been shorter but I get it for the message the film wants to remark
2. It can be a bit too slowly
3. Choppy support cast.
Red, White & Royal Blue (2023)
Cute
Cute movie with some great acting as well as some cheesy and unbelievable movements. I must say though it is a very solid 7 which I have scored this movie.
Pros
1. Taylor Perez, what a gorgeous sexy man
2. Nicholas Galitzine, is also very talented and matches Taylor in the leading of the movie.
3. General characters written by women
I believe straight women gets really well Gay men and they have been giving us some serious gay men
( Heartstopper, Sex Education and obviously this film:
Cons
1. The coming our story, felt out of place
2. Some serious cringe moments which were absolutely painful to match
3. The relationship evolved too quickly and as gay men, I feel that they needed to explore way more than they were doing.
Perfil falso (2023)
This is so bad...do not waste your time...DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
Wow where do I start ? This is show is so simply out horrid. But I will try and make a decent review.
Pros.
1. The male cast
2. The location, Cartagena.
3. The gay/bi inclusion.
Cons
As you guys know I tend to choose 3 but this is one has got everything dreadful to it, but I will try to get the worst 3.
1. Too soapy, omg this plot is the same from South America over and over again, honey, the rich and the poor do not mix that much, mainly in Colombia, but this formula has been working for far too long I guess it it because it gets people coming back to it, it is just dated and it is time people move on from this format.
2. The drama, get a grip!!! That is just too much. Over the top. Done too many times. It seems like writers in South America have mostly lost the will to write.
3. The plot. It has absolutely nothing to do with catfishing a person, on the contrary I do not even understand how the title was accepted.
Overall 2, do not watch it, just skip and move on, it over 5 hours of your life which you are never getting back.
The Days (2023)
Mediocre japoneses show, Watch it for the history.
Do not go into this show expecting very high performances or the acting really, instead go for the story and to learn a bit more and maybe even, to refresh your memory to the ongoing issue that this disaster has inflicted in people.
Cons
1. The show is too slow something the cameras takes forever to the next scene, this is a crises shows so act fast people
2. The show is too long, this could be so much enjoyable if the show runners has kept it to a mini series instead of dragging the show for 8 episodes
3. Fumiyo portrait of the prime minister.
Pros
1. The story which is relevant to this day and it will be for many years to come.
2. The history of disaster
3. The heroes of the disaster,
Overall it is a 6, go for it without high expectation and be patient for the slow pace of the show.
Citadel (2023)
Kind of hard to swallow
I am all for spy anything really, but Citadel kind of lost its plot for me when it went too high tech and also the story of the 2 spies falling in love and having a kid all that crap.
It is ok but nothing that special really. I honestly think it has really good potential but it went south really.
Cons
1. Priyanka Chopra Jones, I am sure the producers could surely have got a better no white actress, unfortunately she was the wrong choice to play Nadia,
2. The high spy tech plot, and how it is all comes undone was really hard to swallow.
3. It is too short for all that happens converting way too many years
Pros.
1. The relation of the characters from Richard Madden and Lesley. Great acting and that is the only kind of believable story that you can swallow on the show.
2. Richard Madden, that man is just gorgeous in action and beauty.
3. Stanley Tucci, is there anything that man cannot do?
Overall is it 6 go to it for the action and not for the plot.
Rabo de Peixe (2023)
Another decent Portuguese show
I have to say this series was way better than I expected,
one of the things for me is even though I speak Portuguese fluently I had to put subtitles on, and I believe it's because of the Azorean accent
The leads were great specially the characters of Eduardo and Carlos
Pros
1. The story was great and compelling
2. The area it was based the f 90's I believe.
3. Jose Condessa, what a gorgeous man
Cons
1. The obsession with America, but then again I believe that was a thing in the 80s 90ss
2. Uncle Joe, what an underdeveloped characters speaking English all time and they all understood each other, I understand the Portuguese. It speaks good English, but that was a bit too much..
3. The ending sucks. I don't know if this is Netflix thing trying to have this open ending so they could've come back for season two, but it just sucks.
