| 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: Vol.2 Movie Rating:  Blood-drenched Fantasy | |
|
The Bride (Uma Thurman) returns in this final chapter (perhaps - director
Quentin Tarantino's already talking about a third volume) of the
blood-drenched revenge fantasy about a wronged woman on a rampage. But the
second part doesn't pack the maniacal wallop of the first.
In place of the earlier film's frenzied blood orgy come the answers to the questions Vol. 1 dangled in front of the audience but shrugged off in its quest to have the highest body count in film history. Backstory involving The Bride's kung-fu training and a couple of unexpected plot twists keep things interesting, as does Tarantino's constant need to display his love for and ability to stylishly rip off the movies that influenced him. Just be prepared for long waits between savage sword fights. |
