Michael Jackson's This Is It in 150 Words or Less

.

Surprisingly absorbing, especially when you read between the lines of the access you're actually being given. But honestly for just this moment I'd heard enough of the freak-show that was MJ's life and for a change it was interesting to simply observe the man at work. Because of the limited amount of coverage director Kenny Ortega got from the rehearsals the shots are longer and therefore more telling; if this had been the actual concert you couldn't have paid me to sit through it, but watching the show being formed in starts and sputters allows an actual curiosity to invade the proceedings.

Plus, as Rich put it so eloquently with regards to MJ's male back-up dancers, "this movie could have been called This Is It, And By "It," I Mean "Dick In Sweatpants."
