Film: This Is It

This Is It

Directed by Kenny Ortega (High School Musical)

The movie all Michael Jackson fan has been waiting for. A tribute to the King of Pop who died last June of this year. The film is about Michael Jackson's rehearsal and interview videos and backstage footage for his comeback concert tour in London. I'm not really a Michael Jackson fan but I love some of his songs and for me, the film is really good though its just like a patch work of footages.

So the film started with interview of Michael's back up dancers thanking him, showing their appreciation to be included in the comeback concert. The film gave me goosebumps especially when Michael started to sing and to dance to his songs. Songs included on the film are (only listing my favorites and not in order according to the film) They Don't Care About Us (The effects and the dance really Wowed me!), Human Nature, Wanna Be Startin' Something, Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel, I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Thriller (Thriller on the film is really good especially the set. Nice work), Black or White, Billie Jean, Man in the Mirror and Heal the World (I actually didn't hear it in the film. I think this is played during the credits?).

Oh and I salute the dancers. They were good. Of course with the help of the King of Pop. The lady who played the guitar.... *bow* and the music director.....

What to do when you're bored? Watch a movie. Sa sobrang dami ng DVDs namin, di ko alam kung ano panunuorin ko. Ang iba medyo corny, ang iba naman medyo napanuod ko na ng ilang beses at nakakasawa na kasi memorize ko na anong mangyayari. So i rummage through all the DVDs and CDs available until I saw this one DVD with torn pictures. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I thought, siguro di na sira to so i put it on the player and started playing. Oy... Di nga siya sira. Ay... may sirang parts pala.. pero konti lang so pinanuod ko na din. Nag enjoy ako sa movie. Favorite character ko sa movie si Dorian Gray, the Immortal. Sa di nakakaalam, si Dorian Gray ay isang character na binenta ang kanyang soul para sa eternal youth and immortality. Yung kanyang soul nakulong sa kanyang self-portrait. So since he's immortal, yung portrait nya ang tumatanda. Para siya mamatay, he only needs to look at his portrait to break his immortality. Ganun siya namatay sa movie. Till the next movie I guess.
