| 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. | |
Hollywood Homicide Movie Rating: 
Disappointing | |
| In this crime-dramedy, Hollywood homicide detectives Joe Gavilan (Harrison Ford) and K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett) investigate the murders of members of a hip-hop group. Complicating their efforts are an internal-affairs probe of Gavilan's relationship with an informant and the demands of the pair's moonlighting jobs - Gavilan sells real estate, and Calden is trying to break into acting. | |
|
Though ostensibly more comedy than drama, the humour is strained, thanks to a
thin, obvious script and Ford's wooden performance. Hartnett easily outclasses
his iconic co-star with a performance emphasizing his puppyish charm. But the movie only really comes alive during its climactic action set piece, when it ignores its characters to concentrate on a wild chase through L.A.'s crowded streets. |
