Documentary Review: 'My Life Over the Top'
The documentary My Life Over the Top shares a lot in common with the last documentary I reviewed, Blind and Battered: The Story of a Blind Kingpin. In addition to being directed by Curtis Elerson and co-written by Elerson and Ben Gillespie, both documentaries chronicle the life of a well-known, high-rolling criminal. While the subject of Blind and Battered (Mac Wayne) was primarily a drug dealer, My Life Over the Top follows the now-retired pimp Ray Virgil Fairley who also dabbled in drug dealing. When it comes to quality, however, these documentaries are night and day. While Blind and Battered was a solid documentary that brought humanizing nuance to Mac Wayne without glorifying his criminal actions, My Life Over the Top lacks that nuance and appears hellbent on glamorizing Ray Virgil Fairley's illicit profession.

Documentary Review: 'Blind and Battered: The Story of a Blind Kingpin'
While some may know Mac Wayne for his rap career or his arrest and 2-year jail sentence, this documentary chronicles Mac Wayne's early life to shed a light on what led him down his path in life. Directed and written by Curtis Elerson (with Ben Gillespie as a co-writer), Blind and Battered: The Story of a Blind Kingpin takes a simple route in how it presents itself. While the past documentaries I've reviewed utilized special effects and illustrations to tell their stories, this documentary keeps things straightforward by solely using interviews and narration to convey Wayne's story. The most visual fanfare we get is the film's use of establishing shots for transitions. With the interviews being the way we learn more about Wayne, his business, and what set him on his journey into criminal activity, Blind and Battered uses its minimalist approach wisely.
