| 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. | |
Kill Bill Volume 1 Movie Rating:  Insanely Violent
| |
|
An assassin known only as The Bride (Uma Thurman) is brutally attacked on her
wedding day by a band of killers (Vivica Fox, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah,
and Lucy Liu), leaving her in a coma. Upon awakening, she vows revenge on them
and their leader, Bill (David Carradine), and travels the world bumping them
off and slaughtering anyone else who gets in her way.
And slaughter she does, slicing her way through dozens of human obstacles in this hilarious, heavily stylized, insanely violent homage to Asian action films. | |
| Director Quentin Tarantino relies on the chopped-up narrative style he employed in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs to tell his tale of betrayal and retribution. He also relies on gallons and gallons of fake blood, which spurts wildly from every severed limb on screen, creating a gleeful, giddy, disgusting mess. And guess what? You'll have to wait for Volume 2 to see how he cleans it all up. |
