Dean (6927 KP) rated Cold Pursuit (2019) in Movies

Luke warm pursuit
This looked OK from the trailer, didn't realise it was a remake of a Norwegian film. It looked like it would have a decent amount of action with some humour.
In reality there is a bit of action, nothing amazing, mainly some shoot outs. The humour though just didn't hit the mark for me. I'm not sure if there were trying for a Tarantino type of angle or more comic book but it just falls flat largely. Another role for Liam Neeson like his last several roles of everyday guy turned badass all of a sudden.
So just average overall, check out @6 Underground (2019) instead for tons of action and laughs.

Sonofdel (6291 KP) rated Mr Liverpool: Ronnie Moran: The Official Life Story in Books
Jul 9, 2020
Wonderful Insight
When you think of Liverpool FC through the years you think of people like Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Roy Evans etc. This book tells the brilliant life story of the man who was there through it all. From player to physio, from coach to manager its all there. With contributions from such legends as Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hansen, Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard this epitomises what Liverpool FC is about and its told with a lot of humour and recollection. With wonderful insights from his son Paul as well this is the complete story of Ronnie Moran 'Bugsy' 'Mr Liverpool'. A wonderful read :)

Different to the first two
A good entry to the series
Finally got around to watching this. I really liked the original and enjoyed the second. This takes a different direction being a prequel but also with less humour.
Based on events leading up to World War 1 as a Lord tries to use his influence and means to prevent conflict.
There are some great action scenes and fights but it doesn't have the humour of the other films. Quite odd at times, serious the next. It's a bit of a mixed bag. Plenty to enjoy but also a few surprises in one way or another.

Great theme song
Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham
Pure 90's Blockbuster
A great all star cast action adventure story of Robin Hood. Alan Rickman is perfect as the evil, crazy sheriff of Nottingham. It has some big stunts and battles, and plenty of humour, something for everyone.

This movie still makes me smile, even though it's been kicking around for a long time. (2 more)
It's a harmless, comedy classic, with starring roles from Dan Ackroyd and Eddie Murphy.
Pork bellies!
The contrast of the rich and the poor...who then end up 'Trading Places' in a tale of sculduggery with humour!

Great make-up effects
Cast chemistry
A kick ass series!
One of the best series around in the late 90's! Cool, slick, sexy and funny as well. It had a great mix of martial arts, horror, humour and a great cast. Check it out if you missed it.

The best of the first 3 films
My favourite of the original three films. It has plenty of action and a good mix of humour between Ford and Connery as Father and Son. Also uses some great real life locations.

The puzzles aren't that hard so you won't feel like a failure.
Stephen Merchant is a great addition to the story.
