Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi (2020)
The Politics can be off, but good food
The food looks good and show is informative. However, the political aspects can be slightly misleading. For example: Most Republicans aren't against immigration. They are against ILLEGAL immigration. The immigrants on the show appear to have visas and are following the proper channels. Most Republicans would be great with that. Again, the food looks good and Padma is always entertaining
Vox Lux (2018)
Oh, Natalie
As others have said, the beginning of this film was very good. It got your heart racing. The teen girl becoming a pop star, born out of tragedy, where she was kind and humble. That was great. She also was a fantastic singer.
Then... the movie jumps ahead 16 years and Natalie Portman is now the adult popstar, with a kid (played by the same incredible actress that played her younger self). Her teenage daughter, being raised by her sister, tries to balance the crazy popstar mom. Drugs, wannabe gangster accent and stupid decision completely changed the character. And Natalie Portman didn't have the strongest of singing voices. The concert was almost painful to watch. I'm a fan of Natalie Portman and think she can really act, but she was all wrong for this part.
