  Oh, so he says it twice. I didn't realise that.

  Armed and Dangerous 1986

  ★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  I had never heard of this, but was looking back through which Meg Ryan films i hadn't seen and found that this was hard to find on DVD, so that made me want to seek it out.
  Glad to find a copy locally, I settled down to watch.

  It's quite a well worn path, bumbling cops/soldiers/security guards, John Candy and Eugene Levy are good together, it's very silly, but pretty funny.
  Lots of the cast are recognisable, as they appear…

  The Disappearance of Alice Creed 2009

  ★★★★ Rewatched 26 Feb 2024

  Fantastic three hander.
  Each of the trio of actors are great.
  Particularly Eddie Marsan who is brilliant in almost everything he appears in.

  Knives Out 2019

  ★★★ Watched 23 Dec 2022

  I remember being a little underwhelmed upon seeing this opening week in the cinema, I think I got a little bit caught up in the whodunit of it all and just forgot to enjoy it.
  This was my first re-watch and I did enjoy it.
  My only complaints are that the mystery plot is a little convoluted and the scenes in the 3rd act that are away from the house feel a little jarring, I would have preferred if the whole film had played out in different rooms in that wonderful house.
