Sense & Sensibility (2024)
Jane Austen story make this worthwhile
As a white anglo-saxon, I was hesitant of enjoying the recast but I liked the story portrayal immensely. It was a reach I felt casting black actors and either they were very good in their parts as actors or they sold out their racial characteristics as it seemed like black persons trying to portray how a white cast would have played the roles.not true to any hint of black traits, mannerisms or culture which still had to exist back in that day. . Perhaps it was just excellent time-period acting but it didn't ring at all true to me like the black cast sold out for just pandering to attract a black audience but nonetheless the strong captivating and brilliant Jane Austen story still carried the movie.
Perfect Harmony (2022)
Pushed all my buttons!!
As a romance this pushed all my buttons.
James Denton has been so enjoyable in prior endeavors but really captured my total attention in this one, almost like truly seeing him for the first time. When he came away from the bar, grabbed the microphone and sang TURNN AROUND.." I positively melted. Loved the stuble beard - perfect for the character.
So believable and heart-warming without being over the top. And a well-told story, not run of the mill. A good deviation from similar themed stories. Very believable.
Thoroughly enjoyed it and played their karaoke scene over and over, loved Denton's musicality and portrayal of the supportive and nurturing character. Thought he had a surprisingly good voice, smooth and strong with good depth, perfect for his leading male contribution.
