that was it
November 24, 2009 11:31 pm popcorn and choc topsI just got to see my 4th movie at the cinema for the year. to think it was just a few years ago that i saw 45 movies in one year.
Tom and i went to see ‘This Is It”
It was a toss up between this and 2012 but 2012 was way too long and we are both old men now.
Also we both think MJ made some pretty awesome tunes and he knows how to put on a show.
It was a strange film because it’s not a docco and it’s not a concert movie. It’s a mish mash of rehearsals and sound checks for his THIS IS IT tour. It was really interesting and I enjoyed it but as a film it was a bit too long at 110 minutes.
The content was amazing, it was going to be an amazing stage show, the lighting, the moving stage it was cool. And boy oh boy was the band tight. MJ was what you would expect, a little odd but when it came down to the business of dancing and singing he was on the money. It was also cool to see how involved he is in the whole production of putting on a show.
A good film if you love Jackson’s music and love stages and rigging and lights and stuff.
Probably not a film for you if you just want to see what all the fuss is about, and if you are a die hard MJ fan you should probably take in a spare pair of undies because you will probably love it so much a bit of wee comes out.
for me. 4 / 7
