Fiddler on the roof (1971) 9/10

So, I recall watching this movie when I was a kid. Was feeling nostalgic last night and watched it again. I must say, I missed the entire storyline and awesome humor when I was a kid. Brilliant movie, now that I can fully appreciate it.

Looks like Bill Brysons - A walk in the woods - just became 'available' online. Awesome book - I'm sure it will translate well in to a movie. Starring Redford, so might be worth a watch.

Oh - and the much acclaimed 'Wolf Totem' is also 'available'. Heard great things about this

It didn't rate well, unfortunately:

Sad because the combination of Bill Bryson, Robert Redford and Nick Nolte should have been gold.

Sad indeed. I hate when awesome writing gets turned in to a crappy movie. Much like The Martian - book was spellbinding and a proper page turner - the movie though.....not even close

I think most people enjoyed the film version of The Martian. We did. It certainly rated quite well:

Deuce Bigalow is a cinematic treasure dammit.

I preferred the movie to be honest. The book was far too technical and repetitive.

Star Wars VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
10/10

Loved every god damn second of it.

Bruva for context how often do you rate a movie 10/10?

Interstellar(2014) was my last 10/10.

It was brilliant. But let's revisit that discussion again.

:wtf:

Fanie tends to score higher than most. He fully utilises the scale up to ten. Myself have never gone above 8.

I was thinking the same.

I personally never give/gave higher than 8.5

Star Wars Episode 7: 8/10
Follows the recipe of the original trilogy and does not disappoint. Action, adventure, light humour and a bit of drama.

What's the point of having a 10 point scale if you never give anything 10?

You lot sound just like my old bosses at time of reviewing my KPA's
