Pelé: Birth of a Legend (2016)
I can't believe this has been reviewed so highly...
...because I don't remember when I saw a movie that was so highly clichéd... Wow.
It looks really good but the story has every cliché that you've ever seen. It's remarkable really.
All the tropes, clichés and tragedies are there. From rags to riches. Skipping the football shoes in a pivotal moment to play bare feet. Getting ridiculed for that. Somber music in notable beats. Beating the over class. Getting ridiculed for that before that. Friends that lose their lives. Promises. Full Metal Jacket style training. Losing faith, only to regain it..
Christ almighty. Why do people like this movie?
I need to read the other reviews.
Stranger Things (2016)
I feel Lando'd by this show.
Gotta say, I'm extremely surprised of the nose dive Stranger Things took after 3-4 good episodes.
Not a fan of the Lost/Stephen King school of mystery crap where you don't have to explain anything. That's super lazy.
I called out Lost after five episodes into season one. This after reading heaps of Stephen King books during the 80- 90's. Dean R Koontz is above King in my opinion (Read Twilight Eyes or Whispers). He always provides an explanation to his mysteries and they are always amazing. In hindsight, this show was a letdown.
But the kid actors were amazing. Especially the toothless one. What a star! Writing and humour was excellent also. And that Carpeterish soundtrack, lovely...
