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.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider : The Cradle Of Life
Movie Rating:
Not Recommended |
|
After an earthquake exposes a long-buried temple, archaeologist Lara Croft
(Angelina Jolie) and her colleagues discover a map that leads to Pandora's
fabled box. When bio-weapons dealer Jonathan Reiss (Ciaran Hinds) steals the map,
Croft and her mercenary ex-boyfriend, Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler), traverse
the globe in a race to catch up with Reiss before he reaches the box and
unleashes the deadly plague locked inside it. The
action never lets up in this
adventure yarn, which is small consolation for a movie
that is also
ear-splittingly loud, brutishly violent, and just
plain stupid. The computer-generated
special effects are awful, ensuring that the film
never even rises to the level of
a live-action cartoon.
