“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” Review

Mr. & Mrs. Smith: Created by Donald Glover, Francesca Sloane. With Donald Glover, Maya Erskine, Paul Dano, Parker Posey. Two strangers land jobs with a spy agency that offers them a life of espionage, wealth, and travel. The catch: new identities in an arranged marriage.

Sharing similar concepts to the two other movies and television series by the same name, this version works best when it’s doing it’s own thing instead of doing what’s been done before. The sound track, action, acting, and character developments are all top notch, but there’s times towards the end of season one that it hews too closely to the Pitt/Jolie version that I love so much, though I did love the ultimate resolution with the nosey neighbor. I am extremely unhappy with the storyline with the cat, imho a death of a family pet shouldn’t be used for dramatic effect and ranks among fridging girlfriends to me. It was the lone distraction in a great series, but I know many people (myself included) don’t like watching violence toward animals, especially ones that depend on the kindness of people to survive.

    “Madame Web” Review

    Madame Web: Directed by S.J. Clarkson. With Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor. Cassandra Webb is a New York metropolis paramedic who begins to demonstrate signs of clairvoyance. Forced to challenge revelations about her past, she needs to safeguard three young women from a deadly adversary who wants them destroyed.

    With a story set in 2003, I would actually believe you if you told me that the movie itself was made in 2003, maybe even if you said it was made for TV. It’s not a terrible film, but it’s also not a great one, with a story that’s easy enough to follow, but without much nuance and extremely little super hero action, which was a shock to me. It’s 90% four women running from a mysterious bad guy, then one action filled confrontation, as brought to you by Pepsi, featuring Pepsi bottles, Pepsi signs, then glass bottles of Pepsi from a Chinese take away meal as a reward for winning their fight. The entire thing feels like an overly complicated prequel to four more interesting stories, but as I said, it’s just interesting enough to not be a ‘bad” film.

    Seeing Sydney Sweeny play a shy, naive, and innocent teenager was weird.
