Michael Jackson Books Give Bookstores A Welcome Boost

By Jenna Landers

As with most true megastars, Michael Jackson has provided food and drink to authors and leading publishers the world over. In death too, this culture is set to continue, and indeed increase for many years to come, as a host of Michael Jackson books start appearing in bookstores.

Whilst not the first book to appear, "Michael Jackson - Legend, Hero, Icon", published by Harper Collins is certainly the most structured publication, despite it taking such a short turnaround. Currently being printed, UK fans can expect to have a copy as early as Friday July 17.

Whilst conspiracies into his death and stories about his very public private life will come out over time; this tribute is very much a reflection on the good he was responsible for, and actively aligns itself with the King of Pop's legion of followers.

That this book is not the first to be published however, is indicative of how hectic activity has been behind the scenes at publishing houses worldwide.

This can be seen with the publishing on July 14 of "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson". Almost prophetic, author Ian Halperin had painstakingly studied the decline in Jackson's health over recent years. The book may well contain some interesting revelations; including comments regards the singer's lack of confidence in his "This Is It" tour. Delayed from print due to Jackson's sudden death, this could well corner a significant share of the market.

The delay in printing, said to be out of a mark of respect to the Jackson family, also allowed Halperin to close his book more conclusively than even he could have imagined.

This still is not the first of the latest Michael Jackson books since his death to hit the shelves however, (not publishing until July 14). For that, we need to look to China, where a biography has been on sale since Saturday July 7.

However, that "Moonwalk in Paradise" was researched, written, and available for sale just days after Jackson drew his final breath raises questions over its true value. By the authors' own admission, it is more an outpouring of their feelings than any solidly researched piece of prose.

There will be many more Michael Jackson books appearing over time. Whilst early versions will focus on what we know about him, later copies should uncover the story behind his death; which will attract an even wider audience. - 18762

DVD Download Reviews By Dennis

By Dennis Eaton

It wasn't that long ago that a trip to the corner video shop was the most convenient way to get a movie.

When that tape is accidentally mailed to his girlfriend in Austin, it's time for a road trip. He and his college buddies go 1800 miles so that Josh can try to save his lifelong relationship.

The Cure: Flawed although often moving tale in reference to two pre-adolescent aliens who become quick fixes: new-baby-in-town Renfro and Assists-afflicted Mazzello, who contracted the HIV virus throughout a blood transfusion. At its best while concentrating on the boys' growing relation; the title refers to a marvel Assists remedy which plays a key role in the tale. Cast includes Joseph Mazzello, Brad Renfro, Annabelle Sciorra, Diana Scarwid, Bruce Davison, Nicky Katt, Erik Egan, and Renee Humphrey. (99 minutes, 1995)

Diggstown: Friendly yam in regards to a con-actor just sprung from detention center that sets his sights on a high-twirling brat in a tiny Georgia town-with boxer Gossett as his tempt for large-time wagers.

Montgomery has a flamboyant role that's occasionally stagy although commonly a powerful film, with momentous help from Russell. Cast includes Robert Montgomery, Rosalind Russell, Girl Might Whitty, Alan Marshal, and Beryl Mercer. (117 minutes, 1937)

A Little Sex: This movie is essentially an R-rated Television-film, with Matheson wedding long-time girlftiend Capshaw wishing it can break him of his habit of chasing woman. Cast includes Tim Matheson, Kate Capshaw, Edward Herrmann, John Glover, Joan Copeland, Susanna Dalton, Wendie Malick, Wallace Shawn, Melinda Culea, and Bill Smitrovich. (95 minutes, 1982)

King Kong: Addle-brained redo of 1933 classic has incredible potential however dispels all the mythic, bigger-than-life attributes of the primordial with idiotic characters and campy approach. Highly boasted visual effects which made a particular Oscar run hot-and-cold; genuine wonder is Rick Baker in a gorilla outfit. Additional footage amalgamated for network showing. Lange's film debut; Joe Piscopo has a tiny role; look quick for Corbin Bernsen playing a journalist.

A Generation: Hefty, certainly downbeat tirade in reference to the Finish Opposition throughout Planet Battle two and what occurs while a youthful guy falls in love with the lady who leads the Opposition group. This is Wajda's first film and the first of a trilogy that contains everything you need for a good film. Young Roman Polanski is characterized in the cast.
