Michael Jackson Biopic and Horror Flicks | Bakersfield News

Michael Jackson’s new biopic “Michael” is more PR stunt than cinematic triumph, with family-produced flair and Jaafar Jackson’s spot-on dance moves—but it still falls short of capturing the legend’s true magic. Meanwhile, “The Mummy” leans into gore over genuine scares, missing the mark for horror fans. Andy Serkis’ kid-friendly animated “Animal Farm” softens Orwell’s bite with corporate villains, sparking debate on whether it’s a smart adaptation or a diluted classic. New DVD/Blu-ray picks include the dark fairy tale “Obsession,” Bob Odenkirk’s “Normal,” “NCIS: Tony and Ziva: Season One,” crime thriller “In God’s Hands,” martial arts epic “IP Man: Kung Fu,” anime “Dan da Dan Season Two,” and digital thrillers “Mouser” and “Son of the Soil.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
