| 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. | |
Frailty Movie Rating: 
Chilling And OriginalWidowed father Meiks (Bill Paxton) announces to his young sons, Fenton (Matthew O'Leary) and Adam (Jeremy Sumpter), that God has entrusted them with the holy mission of destroying demons who pose as ordinary people. Fenton thinks that Dad has gone crazy, while Adam quickly proves a chip off the old chopping block. | |
| Told in flashback by an older Fenton Matthew McConaughey to an FBI agent (Powers Boothe), this profoundly disturbing film examines the genesis of a serial killer. Actor-director Paxton shows amazing restraint throughout, never once resorting to Technicolor gore, and his performance is all the more creepy for its gentleness and quietude. The complicity of children in mass murder is almost unbearable to watch in this very effective, highly original work. |
