"They’re like a stoned Bee Gees. > What I love the most about them is that their music sounds like the American dream to me. Makes me feel like I’m in the film ‘Stand by me’."

A typical Stephen King film, very odd at times. Wouldn't class it quite as a horror has certain elements of Stand by me and the Tommy Knockers in it. Overall pretty good.

One of my favourite Stephen king's movie and for a change not a horror but a coming of age story which works better great soundtrack including the the title song sang by Ben e king makes all wish we had childhoods like this

Feel good film
This is me
I was expecting good I got spectacular
I haven't seen a film that is a proper family feel good film made like this in years. It's a great concept and story delivered perfectly by every actor on the screen. The song This is me is brilliant while all are this one just stand out the most for me.

I had never heard anything from this Indian-American comedian, but I was excited cause I'm always down for stand-up.
It's important to know going in that his stand up is pretty heavily political and definitely left-leaning. That in and of itself didn't bother me. In fact, I found quite a bit of that part hilarious (the Trump bit and the Universal healthcare bit). However, I discovered that a solid hour+ of that material does start to feel heavy handed. Especially when the last 15 minutes or so feel more like a sermon and less like a stand up.
If you lean that way or are an American immigrant, you will probably enjoy it much more than me. For me it was a bit much by the end.

Weird but gripping drama
A fun drama that definitely has a Stephen King story feel to it, being genuinely strange. It has that Stand by me vibe as a group of young friends in the 80's encounter Stranger Things.
