A hit musical biopic tops the DVD releases for the week of July 14.

"Michael": Dramatization about Michael Jackson set during the early (noncontroversial) days of his career, from 1966 to 1988.

"There are many uncanny things in 'Michael,' the Michael Jackson biopic directed by Antoine Fuqua, that literally made my jaw drop," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "For example, Miles Teller’s eyebrows, inexplicably tinted and placed. He plays John Branca, the bulldog entertainment lawyer Michael Jackson hires to fire his abusive father/manager. Then there’s the computer-generated menagerie that Michael keeps on his family’s Encino compound, Hayvenhurst, including Bubbles the chimp, a giraffe and a llama in whom he often confides. But by far the most uncanny, jaw-dropping element of 'Michael' is the startling central performance, delivered by Jackson clan scion Jaafar Jackson, the son of Jermaine Jackson, who portrays his uncle Michael in the film."
