| 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. | |
The Core Movie Rating: 
Wildly Entertaining | |
| When the earth's core abruptly stops rotating and throws the planet's electromagnetic field for a loop, pigeons fly into buildings, navigation systems go haywire, cities collapse in ruins, and uncontrollable microwaves threaten to fry everyone like bacon. It's up to geophysicist John Keyes (Aaron Eckhart) and an intrepid band of "terranauts" to burrow to the centre of the earth and restart the core before the world is completely destroyed. | |
| Sci-fi doesn't come any cheesier than this apocalyptic claptrap, which is far from the tense thrill ride the movie trailer promises. Nevertheless, it's wildly entertaining, thanks to nonstop action, scads of special effects, a huge dose of unintentional humour, and Stanley Tucci's droll turn as a craven rocket scientist. |
