Michael Jackson snaps and crackles, The King of Pop, as he takes his mark on stage. This Is It, takes us behind the cameras, the lights, the action for two electrifying and expertly edited hours of rehearsal. Isn't it the practice and the process that is most revealing and rewarding. The discipline and fun that goes into the phrase," Let’s do it one more time" is music to my dancer's legs and other body parts seated in the theater. That’s why we practice, not to make perfect, but to make changes and get it right, before the final curtain. There isn't another performer who can touch him with a white glove. The film has reached the 200 million mark in two weeks and will extend through Thanksgiving.
Jack Johnson "En Concert" documentary is in theaters for a limited time. Unlike Jackson who was always on stage, Johnson is a reluctant to be there. His props are his guitar and surfboard and his backdrop low tech.
The sky's star power comes from cell phones and lighters. Thus documentaries are as different as night and day, but the theme is simply the same. L O V E. Love your brother, your mother and the earth is the message and core of their music. Strip away the Star War design stage set, Stravorski hand sewn wardrobe, fantasy backdrop and see the man behind the scenes of This Is It tour that will never never be forgotten.
