Ending your cheap tribute show, that seems less put-together than Weird Al's Fat video, with a card that says "His Story Continues" is like the Jackson estate begging people to use google bsky.app/profile/timg...

Michael drowns audiences in nostalgia to avoid thinking about the artist Did anyone really think we were going to get honest insight on Michael Jackson from his own family's biopic?

yes we had someone go see this last night to report exactly what you might imagine www.avclub.com/michael-review

The Jackson estate can't hide Leaving Neverland from those who've already seen it A suppressive legal battle turned the moving Sundance documentary Leaving Neverland into a ghost haunting the Michael Jackson biopic.

I will never forget the experience of seeing LEAVING NEVERLAND at its Sundance premiere. For @avclub.com I wrote about a devastating, definitive documentary about surviving sexual abuse that cannot be erased.

Mads is so funny in this movie. Even if people are sort of familiar with his work, if they're not watching stuff like Riders Of Justice, they might not realize that he's hilarious.
BF: Not only Riders Of Justice, but so many of his collaborations with Anders Thomas Jensen, whether it's The Green Butchers or Men & Chicken, there are these fantastic movies for Mads—who is usually, in films for American audiences, the heavy; Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, villains in Indiana Jones [And The Dial Of Destiny] and the Marvel universe. But some of his best work is playing the fool in these fantastic Jensen movies. Men & Chicken has one of my favorite performances of his, so much so that that's why there are so many chicken references with his character in Dust Bunny.

A stunning debut, Blue Heron processes a family history in motion Sophy Romvari's delicate, engrossing feature debut Blue Heron flits through time and space to find closure.

if you're following any film critics, you've probably seen them stumping for Blue Heron, and that's because it's the kind of exquisite little movie that was built for us to champion www.avclub.com/blue-heron-r...

Bob Odenkirk tires of his new Normal in another crotchety action romp Ben Wheatley pits Bob Odenkirk against an entire small town the familiar action romp Normal, but nobody's heart is in it.
