Bird on a Wire - 1990 ***

Mel Gibson's ponytail is ridiculous. I thought he was supposed to be a 90s pinup!
When Rick is given a new identity by the FBI witness protection programme, he happens to bump into his ex girlfriend Marianne. She demands that she go on the run with him after finding out that Rick is still in danger from drug addicts about to be released from jail. Some funny moments, and not a bad film, but wasn't anything special.

A Cat in the Brain - 1990 *

'A Cat in the Brain' is an awful film. Lucio Fulci must be the most 'marmite' of all horror directors as I feel most people would be suitably divided over this. Fulci plays himself, a horror filmmaker who experiences visions and terrifying dreams on and off the set. The film is dreadful, poorly acted, poorly directed and just very bad all over.

Funny About Love - 1990 ***

Not a bad film. Gene Wilder plays his usual manic self, falling in love with an independent and beautiful woman before finding himself in a quandry after they cannot become pregnant. He doesn't really want a baby of course. So what does he do? Falls into the arms of a younger woman with none of the stress of burden. He then realises that he does want children, but is he too late? A bit of a darker film than others that Wilder has done, but worth a look.

House Party - 1990

Dear god you can tell this is 1990. It's so dated and it beggar's belief how normal people went out in public with hair cuts like the 2 above.
Martin Lawrence only has a small part but apparently the two main actors on the poster are well known as comedic stars. It's quite funny. A bit like 'Superbad' in a way, in that the whole film revolves around a big house party and how all the various characters are trying to get there and stay there throughout the movie. It's awfully cheesy in some scenes, and because of this it's a bit off-putting. I adore old films going back to 1920 so it's not as though I am one of those shallow people who finds any film made before 2000 'old', but sometimes films like this do not travel well through the years and just need to be left alone. It hasn't aged well.
