Hi Honeys, I am baaaaaack!!

And all it took was two movie and two series that were just made for me because they hit just the right spots.

Like, do you ever just watch that certain series or movie that brings you back to life because of how frikkin good it is to you personally?

Well, these four projects did that for me!

23.5

The first series is of course 23.5 from Thailand and currently airing, as well as being put up on YouTube every Fridays. It’s just too damn cute, very spicy of life (not a typo) and all around a feel-good series. There was some low-level drama, but it did not last. I am waiting for MY MARVELLOUS DREAM IS YOU to get some real drama! That series, I fear, is going to be the true rival series to GAP!

23.5 is the kind of yuri that I have always been into, you know, the soft, feel good kind. We will definitely be talking about this later.

But what first really tickled my barren heart was the obscure Korean series which aired at the end of last year  and is what we are here today to talk about and that’s BITCH x RICH!

Now, before you go off hunting and then end up disappointed, I must tell you now that it is not a yuri series (Not yet anyway, as far as I am concerned)!

BITCH x RICH

What is that you ask? Well, that right there is the title of the series that rocked my world! It came out towards the end of last year but like I said, under my radar! What about it, that is so ground-breaking? Absolutely nothing really! Most would argue it is not gay! But if you know me, I guess therein lies the reason! But before we get into it, there are also two movies that doubled down on the addiction!

DRIVE AWAY DOLLS

and

THE BEAUTIFUL FOREST

That’s right, two movies that just got released or are still in cinemas as I write this. Starting with DRIVE AWAY DOLLS, starring fan favourite Margaret Qualley as Jamie and the totally hooking new face Geraldine Viswanathan as Marian!

This movie is frikkin unique and so damn perfect! I adore it in every way! I saw the signs and set expectations which are normally let down due to my over ambitiousness, but this movie not only brought everything full circle and granted my wish, but they did it so perfectly without any eye-rolling moments of, oh God, so cliche!

Then we have THE BEAUTIFUL FOREST, the best frikkin Italian lesbian movie I have ever seen! Now that we are mentioning it, I cannot on the top of my head, think of an Italian movie that has been mentioned on my blog! There are series but no movies! Could it be, my Italian kino cherry has finally been popped!!?

This movie has the most romantic dance scene with any couple ever! And I have seen Henry & June! Believe it all not, it topped the aforementioned without even relying on kisses! That scene was so damn good! Will never be forgotten! I have it in the same category as The Handmaiden’s tooth scene!

So, as you can see, after these three projects I just could not stay in hibernation anymore! I just had to come back to the world of the living and share my excitement, as is always the case!

Well then, let’s get this party started! Continue reading →
