The BEST gift ever

Yes, it is true. I am one big fan of Micheal Jackson's music and dancing. For my birthday, Curtis got us tickets to see "This Is It"! I am so excited. I will of course, let you all know how wonderful it was.

* Alright, here is MY REVIEW:

"This Is It" has to be the best documentary I have seen all year. This film is for anyone who loves, adores or admires Micheal Jackson's talent as an artist (or any one who likes his fashion). However, this is not a film for anyone who does not enjoy documentary films. The film lasts two hours and is mostly clips of rehearsals for the concert he was working on and a few interviews with dancers, singers, musicians and others working towards the concert. The film includes all of his most popular songs. The last two songs where my favorite in the film, Billy Jean and Man in the Mirror. These are the only two songs Micheal sang completely. (These songs are not my favorite he has ever done but I think they saved the best of what they had til the last). I found my self bobbing my head along with the songs and really wanting to dance. I am sure that would have been one of the best concerts ever (especially what they had set up for the Thriller song). They used all of the original dance work for Bad and Thriller. Both Curtis and I where glad they kept that.

THE MOST SHOCKING OF ALL (nothing to do with the film)
We did find it interesting that when we arrived at the theater there where no lines to get in - We did go at 5:50 so maybe that is why. Our theater filled in quickly (the whole bottom section was empty) and we where robbed at the concessions stand (over 8 dollars for and 8 oz drink and a "small" bag of pop corn). When the movie ended it was almost 8 and still no lines for anything. This is only the third movie I have been to all year, but when Curtis and I where dating the theater was always full of people and lines.
