You need to experience both GOOD and BAD films ...
4 October 2016 | by A_Different_Drummer – See all my reviews

... TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

I watch a lot of movies ... so many that the IMDb once tagged me and released me into the wild to see what theatre I would pick.

After reading the other member reviews (thanks guys) I think the reason I enjoyed it so much is that I never read the novel nor did I bring any preconceptions.

What I found was a beautifully filmed, acted, and directed movie which was just daffy and unpredictable enough to hold my attention.

You say PO-TAE-TOE. I say PA-TAT-O.

What others see as a mishmash and fighting among writers and directors I see as a puzzle that the viewer needs to put together.
