Jaafar Jackson (son of Jermaine) dances his slouch-socked feet off in Antoine Fuqua’s new Michael Jackson biopic. And we have no less a personage than Tre’vell Anderson here to help us figure out how to feel about what was left in and what was left out. Then we’ll talk about some biopics that really work for us.

What’s Good

Alonso - Hitchcockian Thrillers by Stephen Rebello
Drea - costumed bar crawl
Tre’vell - grand opening of Maroon in Las Vegas
Kevin - Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears by Michael Schulman
