| 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. | |
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind Movie Rating:  Exhilarating
| |
| Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) is grieving a breakup with his girlfriend, Clementine (Kate Winslet), and seeking reconciliation, when he discovers that she has already undergone a procedure to have all her memories of their relationship erased from her mind. Distraught, he rushes to have the same procedure. Unfortunately, interference from the slacker technicians in charge (Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood) creates havoc in Joel's brain. | |
| In this black comedy about memory, heartbreak, and desire, the past collides with the present and the future, time collapses, and characters are trapped in repeating cycles of melancholy absurdity. Add to the mind-warp of a Charlie Kaufman script a visual style from French director Michel Gondry that continually tricks the eye with scruffy special effects designed to fade into the background and unsettle the viewer, and the result is a weird, sad, yet exhilarating film. |
