This is the guy doing the new MJ biopic:

I'm not an MJ fan, but thought some of y'all might be interested.

Enjoy

Actually, in most scenes of the movie he didn't look too bad. I watched movie and it was better than I expected.

When it comes to Michael & Whitney I'm gonna stay away from the Made for TV movies...I'll definitely change my mind if HBO decides to hire a Blazzzing Team to tell their Stories...HBO don't play...

Other than that I'll wait for their BioPics to make it to the Silver Screen...

and just a side note...If a Studio Hires Kevin Costner to Direct a movie about Whitney's Life and they hire Academy Award Winning Screenwriter John Ridley to write the script then I'm all in...Go BIG, or stay home...

Much better than Man In The Mirror. Shows Michael at his most vulnerable and comes from his security standpoint and how his life also affected theirs. Its a story that was worth seeing on screen as well.

Although not fully accurate the movie was much better than I expected, it did a good job in humanizing Michael and showing he was a good man and loving father.

That's high praise coming from you. I was fully prepared for you to hate it.

I take back what I said yesterday. I watched the movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I thought Navi did an excellent job portraying MJ. They even got his children down to a T!! Great job!! I can't even imagine how it felt for Navi to play MJ, after being an impersonator for 20-years! I have to say, it was a lot better than I was anticipating!

Yes, I really enjoyed how they showcased how good a father MJ was! He loved those children!

It was nice to see MJ how he lived, rather than his on-stage persona.

I thought I was going to hate it too, thought it was going to be sensationalizd and filled with tabloid crap but it surprisely painted MJ in a positive light and the special afterward was good.There is another music special coming on to night after the encore.
