RH Plus (ＲＨプラス)

RH Plus, Ayako Suwa's boys-love manga about the four male vampires who live together in a western-style manor.

Hassei Takano (Negima! Magister Negi Magi's Nagi, Boogiepop and Others' Masami) plays Kiyoi, the fatherly Getchōkan building manager who looks to be in his 30s, but is actually close to 100 years old. Kiyoi's tennants include the 21-year-old college junior Masakazu (Gokusen, Hana-Kimi's Naoya Ojima) and two 16-year-old high school freshmen, Akira (Arena Romance's Yū Miura) and Ageha (Boogiepop Phantom, Aquarian Age's Rakuto Tochihara).

 

 

Two young boys are best friends living quiet family lives in Bangkok. Their lives are disrupted when one boy's older sister goes missing on a jungle trip. The shattered family moves away, separating the boys. Years later, now in their late teens, the boys meet again. One of them is now the leader of an aspiring boy band whose managing assistant bears a striking resemblance to the lost sister. The boys must deal with their family and social lives and their feelings for each other.

 

Following the box-office success of Leste Chen's (陳正道) horror film Heirloom (宅變) last year, the local filmmaker has a new offering for local audiences: a coming-of-age movie about troubled youth and homosexual love titled Eternal Summer (盛夏光年).
The film opens at a seaside elementary school in the picturesque Hualien countryside when well-behaved student Cheng Hsing is tasked by a teacher to help bad boy Shou Heng adjust to school life, and the two become good friends.

Time passes and high-school life ticks along uneventfully until classmate Hui Chia comes between the two friends. The sensitive girl gradually realizes that she will never win the heart of Cheng Hsing, who has been harboring a secret love for his buddy.

Hui Chi and Shou Heng become a couple in college, but the Sept. 21, 1999, earthquake opens Heng's eyes to the true nature of Cheng Hsing's feelings.

Not knowing where the love triangle will lead, the trio takes a trip to the seaside. Secrets that have been hidden in their hearts for years are revealed and the revelations mark the end of naive youth.

The film's cinematography is simple and clean with blue tones accentuated, and the scenery includes clammy urban imagery that reflects the muffled restlessness among the three protagonists.

What is surprising about this movie is director Chen's fine portrait of homosexual love. The sex scene between Shou Heng and Cheng Hsing is treated with great care and instead of being arousing or erotic, it portrays the emotional difficulties the two characters feel and the pair's tenderness.

He was the usual loner until he met Saki Giichi, who befriended him, stayed stuck to him and eventually...confessed his love.



Saki Giichi (Katou Keisuke) befriended Takumi and confessed his love for the guy, keeping Takumi close whenever possible but also respecting his personal space. He's the president of the class, and he made Takumi the vice-president so they can share dorms and do almost anything together. He was raised in America and has been to lots of countries XD.


Akaike Shouzo (Takiguchi Yukihiro) is Saki's best friend (they know each other's families and sleep in each other's houses), and a member of the ethic committee. He's pretty boy number 1 in the school, according to Saki. He's first seen scolding Takumi for missing his class even though he was bad at it. Takumi thinks he's too tough. Akaike thinks Takumi is a bit dense and is almost always stuck in the middle of the two's relationship.


Inoue Sachi (Aiba Hiroki) is a 17 year old genius violinist who travels around the world performing. Takumi idolizes him a lot, wondering how a violin's melody could touch his heart. One day, Sachi was invited to play in Takumi's and Gii's school and Takumi couldn't wait to see the real thing. Gii was slightly jealous of Sachi, even though they are actually friends XD. Still, the real reason why Sachi came to their school has yet to be found out...

Jun Ariyoshi works in a gay bar. One night, one of the customers pesters him and a terrible fight breaks out during which Jun kills the man. Jun does not show the slightest sign of remorse and is put in prison. One of the inmates is a young man named Shiro Kazuki, who wears strange-looking tattoos and whose remarkably penetrating looks can kill.
From the outset, Shiro makes brutality and violence his trademark and, as a result, soon makes his way up the hierarchy of those behind bars. Jun, who is more introverted, feels drawn by Shiro’s strength and decisiveness. Shiro accepts Jun because he is the only one on the inside who sees him for what he is. They gradually become friends, and then, a couple. Determined to let nothing and no-one come between them.
Then, however, an incident occurs. A prison warder is witness to a young man strangling another prisoner with all his might in the communal hall. Shortly afterwards, the victim breathes his last. It is Shiro. The young prisoner turns around. The guard observes the inmate’s tear-stained face as he admits: “I did it.” It is Jun.

Japanese director Takashi Miike is well known for films that make a decisive break with taboos and conventions, and for his ruthlessly graphic portrayal of violence. In this film, however, he is also keen to find an explanation for the outbreak of violence. What could have caused Jun’s terrible deed?

 

The Man in the Lighthouse - aka: Lalake sa Parola, Ang (2007)-Phillipines

His search leads him to Lobo, Batangas only to discover that his father is in Dubai. Awaiting his father’s return, Mateo works as the caretaker of Lobo’s lighthouse.

What begins as a search for one’s father evolves into a search for one’s self. Will Mateo, in the midst of his conservative rural community, cross the thin line between being straight and being gay?

This story is a search for oneself as seen through the lens of rural homosexuality, myths, and fairies (superstitions/belief?); and the lies that people create to escape the bitter realities of life.

It may not have the best actors, best cinematography, best story and/or best director but the film can stand on its own. The movie is like some women, you look into their individual features such as their noses, eyes, hair, etc; individually, the features are not nice but when you look at them, they still look pretty. That is like the movie, it's simple yet pretty.

There are explicit scenes of nudity and simulated sex, so it depends on your country, In Europe they'll rate it 16+ but may be in the US it will be 18+.
