| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend
ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees
and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like.
If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are
normally found at Amazon.

Bad Boys II
Movie Rating: Unpleasant |

Narcotics cops Mike (Will Smith) and Marcus (Martin Lawrence) keep up their
married-couple bickering as they battle Ecstasy smugglers in this overly long sequel.

Like all of director Michael Bay's movies (Pearl Harbor, Armageddon), this one revels in
chaos, violence, and lots of things blowing up. While that would normally work as summer entertainment, the
potential fun is doused by a cold lack of humanity. The main characters seem to hate everyone; the
civilian casualties that would naturally result from so much destruction simply don't exist; and no actions
have consequences. |
