Banks' writings for GayNZ.com also included a number of film reviews, two of which caused some upset in the conservative Christian community. His review of the controversial 2002 French film "Irréversible" was cited by the Society for the Promotion of Community Standards in their attempts to have the film banned by the Office of Film and Literature Classification. His positive review of "Kinsey", the 2004 biopic of the American sex researcher, drew the ire of "Investigate" magazine editor Ian Wishart, prompting a further series of articles by Banks on Alfred Kinsey.
