I had the displeasure of watching the piece of crap when I came home from work.  Fortunatly, I only saw part of it, but I saw enough of it to know it is crap.  For those who don't know, VH1's Man in the Mirror is about the trials and tribulations of Michael Jackson.  The actor who plays Jackson is Flex Alexander.  If you don't know Flex Alexander, he is currently in this UPN show , One on One.  As I said, he is  playing Micheal Jackson, the CURRENT Michael Jackson!!!  Now, I know the brother does not want to do any plastic surgery, but couldn't somebody from the make-up department do something to make Alexander's black-man-of-a-nose look more "surgically changed".  And, if you look carefully in his close up scenes, you can see that the same make-up people didn't finish putting the powder on his face.  In some other scenes, Alexander's face is acually green.  And as for the rest of the characters, none of them has the slightest resemblence to any of the people actually involved, except the actor who played Joe Jackson, you can see the resemblence only from far away.  The only "real" part of the movie was the actual footage of Michael holding his son over the balconey in Europe.  You couldn't here none of Jackson music, even his old school Jackson 5 songs.  So, people, if you are true Jackson fan (and I know you are) stay away from this "movie".

The person who impersonates Jackson who looks the most like him these days is Amy Poehler from SNL. Kind of a sad comment on what the man has done to himself.

I can't see Jackson or his family allowing their music to be used in a quickie biopic designed to exploit his current troubles.

I saw a few minutes one night, and also noticed how little Flex looked like MJ (and wondering how much he was paid, and how much he needed it, to take on a role where he seems to be in a no-win situation). The thing that made me change the channel was feeling a little queasy during a scene when he was talking to a child alone. I don't care if they portrayed him as a harmless man-child or not (didn't see enough to tell if the flick was pro or anti-Jackson) considering that the charges against him involve child molestation (and that he has been accused before) this just seems like a bad choice for all involved.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
