| 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. | |
Scary Movie 3 Movie Rating:  Dismal
| |
|
In this third instalment of the horror-parody series, Cindy (Anna Faris) and
friend Brenda (Regina Hall), now adults, must investigate Signs-like crop
circles and The Ring-esque killer videotapes, and also assist the president
(Leslie Nielsen) in preventing an alien invasion. Meanwhile, an Eminem-style
rapper (Simon Rex) does a lot of rhyming for no good reason other than that
someone thought throwing in an 8 Mile subplot wouldn't be too out of place.
In fact, there seems to be no good reason for most of the things going on in this dismally low-brow film. There are moments of humour - most of which involve Nielsen's resurrection of his Airplane! character - but otherwise the movie tries too hard for almost no payoff. And if you can believe it, the gags here make the first two movies look witty and sophisticated. |
