Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)
Hands down, the greatest scripted of 2024
There's a reason it was nominated for 16 emmys.....
I know what you're thinking, 'the best?' Here are 3 simple supporting statements.
It's relatable:
Every episode touches on the shared human experience. We all know what it's like to have nervous energy when meeting someone new or tight-roping a situation of politeness, when being annoyed by someone.
It's poignant:
So many times throughout the show, a moving moment anchores the drop of this roller-coaster. The expansion of the story from the movie allows for a better character connection and understanding. John's sense of humor vs Jane's for example.
It's an upsurge:
Each episode is better than the previous. This is just a plain result of phenomenal writing. Even in a situation of a day off were the action understandably should be dialed down, the viewer is still left with a 'I didn't see that coming' moment every time.
Honestly, 2 wins is a bit of a insult to such a supremely well executed project.
The High Note (2020)
Proof great that movies drown in garbage...
This film is the perfect example of great art, sabotage by 'critic' reviews. The entire truth of The High Note is summed up in its central message; the music is what matters. Not gimmicky remixes or auto tuned production, but REAL music that moves you. The weak attempts to tarnish this gem of a story, will be effortlessly cast aside by those not caught up in what the industry spoon feeds the masses. At one point a particular review attacks this film with 'it handles conflict in the nicest possible way' as if we as humans can't evolve to a place of civility.
As a father I am grateful for the creative forces behind this project. Ms. Ross' performance is authentic. Dakota's character breathes real air. Ice Cube causes the audience to contract empathy for the human condition. The only change that would've been even more icing on this tasty cake, would be the song 'I don't really care' being a larger part of the movie.
Nice work Rotten Tomatoes. Way to back up your name with your rotten review of one of the truly good features of 2020...
