| 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. | |
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Movie Rating: 
Bold and Surprising | |
| Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as the Terminator, a robot from the future, who in this installment sets out to fulfill the mission he started in the first two movies: to deliver a now-grown John Connor (Nick Stahl) to his destiny as leader of a resistance movement against world-destruction-causing machines. | |
|
In
this strangely fitting final chapter, the aging of the
Terminator is part of
the plot, not something the film tries to work
against. Indeed, his new
nemesis, a young, ruthless, technologically advanced
female terminator (Kristanna
Loken), out-terminates him everywhere she goes.
Skeptical sequel-phobes can breathe a sigh of relief, since the jolting movie is bold, dark, and surprising, the best of the three Terminator films. With strong performances from Stahl and Claire Danes and intense action that's actually suspenseful, T3 has a bitter taste missing from other summer movies that try too hard to please. |
Claire Danes and Nick Stahl.
