I raced through this read - it was gripping and I loved the ending. (0 more)

Some bits were a little sexist for me, and more research was needed (I worked in a psychiatric hospital in the UK and lots of inaccuracies) (0 more)

Couldn't put this down

Would it be possible to get more certificate options when entering new movies onto the site? When I'm looking up films to confirm what their rating is I'm sometimes only able to find UK ratings when the listing asks us for US ones.

Good idea! I've always struggled to find US ratings, even IMDb only gives UK ratings for those of us based here.

Good UK Gangster Film

A very good low budget crime drama. Set in Liverpool it shows the criminal underworld as the local gangsters try to out do each other and make a name for themselves. Very brutally violent at times, this is a good little known film that seemed to go straight to DVD. Most of the cast will be familiar to UK audiences, some of which who do very well here with their performances. The story is good and keeps you guessing who will double cross who in the name of greed. Kinda like an English version of Goodfellas crossed with Heat!

A so-so horror comedy with a good array of UK acting talent on show. Ok in parts, it has some funny scenes and quite gory in places. Overall just not quite as polished as Severance, Shaun of the dead. One mainly for the guys.

MissCagey (2652 KP) rated Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016) in Movies

Jan 21, 2018

In the UK this film is called Bad Neighbours 2. Having watched the first I knew what to expect, this one had parts that were in bad taste and it just was not that funny. Then again it's probably for a younger audience than myself!

The Marnie Rome series is one of the first uk based series I have read. I have had quite a gap in between reading the first two. It was easy to get back into the characters of Marnie, Noah and Welland. A good read.

Good solid cop drama

Released inexplicably as Bulletproof in the UK, Crown Vic tells the story of a hardened twenty plus year street cop training a rookie on his first night and finds out the rules and training count for nothing in real life.

Never in history have so many diverse books from the Nordic nations been translated, and in the last five years in the UK and the USA the list has been growing.

There should be something here for every boreal-minded reader to cherish in the coming winter.
