| 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.

Wet

under his skin. After they have sex in the high school pool, Madison develops
a serious crush on Ben, and she will do anything to make sure nobody gets in
her way.

This teen version of Fatal Attraction is a generic thriller. Casual dialogue
early in the movie takes on ridiculously profound significance later on,
screeching violins announce every burst of violence, and the fate of each character
is easy to predict. Despite a smidgeon of cinematic style, this movie sinks beneath a flood of
obsessive stalker-movie cliches. Swimfan is all wet.
