Hi all, this tumblr mainly exists as a way of tracking all the movies I've been watching and some of the initial thoughts, and general feelings, I've had about them.
5/5 - Fantastic movies; movies which need to be seen and enjoyed by everyone.
4/5 - Movies which are very good but don’t have that spark which compels you to make others watch them as well.
3/5 - Average movies; watchable and enjoyable, but nothing which elevates them higher. The baseline all movies are given before watching.
2/5 - Can be watched but really bland and forgettable.
1/5 - Minimal to no reason to watch these films. It may have some redeeming factors e.g. it’s so bad it’s good or there’s one character that’s awesome enough to make it not a total waste of time.
0/5- Total waste of time. Nothing redeemable about these films.
As with every review blog/site, this is all my own personal opinion so feel free to take everything with a grain of salt.
Also I'm Scottish so all reviews will be in UK English. Get used to theatre, colour and words ending in -ised.

#347/#64 Bird on a Wire
A chance meeting between Rick Jarmin (Mel Gibson) and former girlfriend Marianne Graves (Goldie Hawn) is enough to blow his cover in the witness protection program sending both of them on the run to escape Rick’s pursuers.
There’s not an awful lot to this one. It’s an early 90’s action comedy with a couple of good action scenes and a couple of good comedic moments between the two likable leads. Hawn and Gibson have good chemistry together, making up the bulk of the dialogue, and it doens’t overstay its welcome or try anything too overly complicated. It’s watchable but not great in every sense of the word and very easily forgettable.
A perfect film for winding down after a long day in which you just want to sit down and relax while not thinking too hard about anything. 3/5
