FAME. FRAUD.FUGITIVES. (2022) LIMITED SERIES
I heard about this new limited edition series, and I just couldn’t wait to dive into it as it came highly recommended; the movie left me wondering why we seemed to have watched loads of fraud-related films in the past few months. Bad Vegan was a true-crime docuseries about a famous vegan restaurateur and her husband. How they started, the business had issues, got divorced, and then she met this supposedly cool, calm, collected, wealthy guy that finally destroyed all she had left; intense movie with lessons to make sure you pay utmost attention. Chris Smith directed the film, and the four episodes averaged 51mins each.
HIGH NOTE (2020) What do you get when you mix Tracee Ellis Ross (the daughter of the legendary Diana Ross), Ice Cube, and Dakota Johnson in one film? The High Note: a feel-good movie about a music icon (played by Tracee) who’s about to sign on to do a residency engagement after not releasing any new music. That soon changes as her assistant (played by Dakota) stops at nothing to get the diva to record new music. Directed by Nisha Gantra, the actors and actresses killed the roles to execute a well-rounded movie. The High Note has love, music, drama, and tears!
