| 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. | |
Die Another Day Movie Rating: 
Almost Near Perfect | |
| In the most introspective Bond film ever, Pierce Brosnan returns as the dashing agent, who's been held hostage in Korea for over a year. | |

Stripped of
his "00" status upon his release for allegedly divulging top-secret
information, Bond strikes out alone to uncover the traitor who set him up.
Crossing paths repeatedly with the mysterious Jinx (Halle Berry), Bond
follows a shrapnel-faced terrorist named Zao (Rick Yune) to the lair of
boyish megalomaniac Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens), who
has devised a diabolical scheme to rule the world.
Despite several affectionate nods to bygone Bond flicks, the pulse-quickening thrills - which include high-speed hovercraft and rocket-powered sled chases - are distinctly 21st-century. With guns, gadgets, and girls galore, the film delivers the requisite big action and then some. Only Berry, who trips clumsily over her double-entendre-filled dialogue, mars the near-perfect proceedings. |
