Square One (2019)
A welcome response to Leaving Neverland
Finally we have an independent filmmaker who has dared to buck the trend of those capitalising on the #metoo movement and the one-sided hit piece that was Leaving Neverland. Someone who has diligently researched the subject of the first allegations of child molestation against Michael Jackson, and exposed its perpetrators. This is a heartbreaking but vitally important documentary by a filmmaker who first has to convince himself of Jackson's innocence of the 1993 allegations, and illuminates how that situation set the precedent for the 2005 trial and more recent allegations. Danny Wu is a brave filmmaker, and he deserves to have his film seen by the world, so it can make up its own mind and not rely on biased reporting.
Michael Jackson's Halloween (2017)
Entertaining Halloween Animated Special
I was excited by the previews of this show, and for the most part it lived up to my expectations, with lots of MJ music, and a story line with a bit of a moral to it. The MJ references were cute, and while I get tired of seeing Michael depicted in his Thriller era guise, there were lots of other references to his later, more mature and (to me) exciting eras. This is a fun show for the kids, and entertaining for fans, so long as they are not expecting something like Thriller of Ghosts in animated form.
