| 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. | |
| After years of exile, intergalactic outlaw Riddick (Vin Diesel) travels to the planet Helion, his arrival coinciding with that of despotic Lord Marshall (Colm Feore) and his henchmen, the Necromongers. Only Riddick can save Helion's residents from death or enslavement - that is, if he doesn't become distracted by a visit to the hellish planet Cremoria. | |
| The Chronicles of the Ridiculous would be a better title for this sci-fi balderdash, which suffers from a lack of narrative coherence, amateurish special effects, dumb dialogue, and another lumbering performance by Diesel. The Helions and Necromongers are in awe of the pumped-up, short-tempered Riddick's apparently superhuman strength - at last, a movie that celebrates 'roid rage. |

Gay Interest: PassingIf Diesel ever gives up on his dream of becoming an actor, that hot body could always model for muscle magazines. Co-stars Colm Feore, Judi Dench, Linus Roache, and Thandie Newton have all appeared in queer-themed films. |
