| 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. | |
The Haunted Mansion Movie Rating:  Predictable Half-term Fare
| |
|
When New Orleans estate agents Jim and Sara Evers (Eddie Murphy, Marsha
Thomason) stop by to close the deal on a new listing, they find that the
lavish manse has an unusual pest problem - ghosts. Even the homeowner turns out to
be the late Master Gracey (Nathaniel Parker), who becomes convinced that
Sara is his long-lost love reincarnated and determines to win her back.
The computer-generated effects are entertaining, Thomason makes a lovely damsel in distress, and Terence Stamp and Wallace Shawn are amusing as otherworldly servants in this latest Disney confection based on a theme-park ride. But the flabby blend of horror, comedy, and romance quickly grows stale, thanks to Murphy's shameless mugging and a dull, feeble story. |
