| 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. | |
Red Dragon Movie Rating: 
Terrifying | |
| In this terrifying prequel to 1991's Silence of the Lambs, Anthony Hopkins returns as Lecter, this time aiding the man who captured him, FBI agent Will Graham (Ed Norton). Ever the villain, Lecter simultaneously schemes to help the killer Graham is hunting - a tattooed mass of rage dubbed the "Tooth Fairy" (Ralph Fiennes). | |
| The three actors turn in superb performances, particularly Hopkins, who forgoes the operatic flamboyance he adopted in Hannibal in favor of the subdued approach that won him an Oscar in Lambs. However, with a plot similar to that of Lambs (and identical to director Michael Mann's 1986 film Manhunter), at times it's deja vu all over again. |
