| 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. | |
Secret Window Movie Rating:  Ineptly Plotted
| |
| Six months after catching his wife, Amy (Maria Bello), with another man, and suffering from writer's block and depression, mystery writer Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) is further thrown for a loop by the arrival at his isolated cabin of menacing John Shooter (John Turturro). Shooter claims to be a writer, insists that the best-selling Mort stole one of his stories, and vows vengeance if Mort doesn't set things right. | |

Not even Depp's dependably droll
charm can save this hokum based on a Stephen King novella. The ineptly plotted mystery
offers few thrills, thanks to ludicrous characters and unbelievable situations. Mort avers that the most important part of a story is its ending, but screenwriter/director David Koepp mangles that, too, with a ridiculous coda. |
