| 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. | |
Full Frontal Movie Rating: 
Interesting But Pretentious | |
| Director Steven Soderbergh's highly experimental film follows several psychologically complicated characters over a 24-hour period leading up to the 40th birthday party of a movie producer (David Duchovny). | |
| At first glance, principal players Julia Roberts, Blair Underwood, Catherine Keener, David Hyde Pierce, and Mary McCormack seem to play people somehow connected to the film industry, until their characters are revealed to be actors performing in a movie-within-the-movie. Soderbergh adds to the already confusing perceptual distortion by cross-cutting between crystal clear scenes on 35mm film and grainy images on digital video. |
