HIS LAST MONWALK

Last June 25, 2009 when the news broke out that the King of Pop died due to cardiac arrest, I was really in pain. I've been a huge huge fan ever since and until now. I love his music. I grew up with his music. It's just frustrating that Michael Jackson is already gone. Anyway, his legend will still continue and it will live forever. Isn't it amazing that after his death he left us something to remember? “This Is It” is a concert film documenting Michael Jackson's rehearsals of the concert series of the same name.

This film is not remarkable in every way but to see my idol one last time on the stage: one word to describe him: PHENOMENAL.



The film opens with three words: “For The Fans”, I just couldn't help it. I cried instantly. Kenny Ortega who directed the High Musical Trilogy must be praised for this film. This concert-docu shows Jackson's last rehearsals for his upcoming concert in London. All I can say is that it doesn't matter anymore if the production is not well-polished and the videos are quiet grainy. The main thing here is to witness MJ doing his last moonwalk and his famous crotch-grabbing strut for one last time.



The movie opens with the some interviews from dancers and they are all teary-eyed. Their tears are real and it makes me sad to now that their dreams of performing with MJ on a real concert is really over. Since this film only shows his rehearsals, MJ did not actually give his fully best for he was saving his voice for the actual night However, his moves are still unbelievable and energetic. His age isn't palpable with those moves he shows on the stage especially on the song “Beat it”. MJ is just awesome!



I really like the new videos in which MJ intertwines in them. The video in “They Don't Care About Us” is futuristic with 11,000 thousand soldiers on the background. The Smooth Criminal is remarkable with MJ breaking the glass window. I know he has a body double on that part. I love the production design on the song “The Way You Make Me Feel”even if it looks like a set from “Rent”. The part in which MJ is singing songs from the Jackson 5 era is sweet even if he's not singing at all. I suggest to prepare your hanky when he delivers the lachrymose “I'll Be There”. The new video for Thriller is scarier than the original video. It is shot in 3D by the way. It would've been great to see the actual segment on the concert night for this electrifying song. The environmental-friendly “Earth Song” is my favorite of all. MJ was truly a real advocate when it comes to caring our mother Earth. Deeply, he was so sincere with his last message. I cried again.



There is a shocking scene where MJ complains about something about his earpieces and it may raise some eyebrows from die-hard fanatics. But I think it's quiet OK for MJ was only human anyway with imperfections. The most intense part for me is MJ's Black & White rehearsal. That girl guitarist is really talented. I love that way she riffs the guitar and MJ's dancing is still smooth. Black & White is one my fav song from him and I'm really glad to see him rehearsing this song for the last time.The part when he sings a duet love song called “I Just Can't Stop Loving You” with his background singer doesn't have a huge impact on me but the girl is really good. The “Billie Jean” rehearsal at the latter part is terrific when MJ shows his last famous crotch-grabbing move. But the funniest part for me is when MJ takes a ride on that crowd-surfing cherry-picker then he screams “Weeeeee!!!”. Playful MJ! Even though the film has no spectacular ending, I still love it. Yeah, make that change!



In this film, we see Michael Jackson as a perfectionist, a bighearted and sturdy leader, and a loving artist. I'm not recommending this if you're not a fan . If you're expecting an investigation about his death or some mysteries about his live, zilch!. “This Is It” is purely a jubilation of his legacy as “The King of Pop”. To all the fans: This is It!!!! It's time to see once again the man in the mirror who touched our lives with his phenomenal music. Michael Jackson's music lives on for eternity.

APHRODISIAC HORROR

After falling in love with Diablo Cody for creating a wonderful character named Juno, I think I'm just one of her rabid fans who's excited to see her latest offering. Jennifer's Body is a very out-of-the-way movie. There's so much going on in this movie. The movie is too busy with everything. The lead actresses have a flabbergasting snogging in the history of Hollywood cinema. I can't still get it outta my head. This movie is really fresh but sometimes the outlandishness makes this movie a little bit off. I'm still ambivalent.

FILM PREMISE : This is the tale of two teenage best friends, Jennifer and Needy. Both have opposite personalities. Jennifer is the hottest chick while Needy is the unattractive nerd. One night, they go out to a grungy bar, apparently to hear a band. Jennifer seduces the lead singer/guitarist Nikolai, As the band plays their song, the bar catches fire, afterwards the bar explodes killing several people. Needy and Jennifer escape. However, Jennifer decides to go with the band for a fun night. To her shock, she finds out that she will be offered to Satan and be killed as a virgin. Fortunately, she's still alive the next day, but she turns into a succubus who kills people specifically guys.



It's safe to say that Diablo is a talented writer. I love her style. Actually, the script is still “Junoish”. Cody's dialogue is really amusing. I find the lines very nifty and funny. Again, the famous Diablocraft narration is still here. The only thing worth grumbling is the opening scene. It's a major spoiler in the entire movie and it apparently destroys the excitement. The reason why it's weird coz the movie really makes you horny. Blame Megan Fox! She's a hot monster! While being horny, the movie also makes you want to puke. Blame the gut-wrenching gory scenes this time. This is supposed to be a horror movie but it's not actually scary. I couldn't imagine a very sexy Megan Fox to be frightening. Hell no! She's a hot devil! Diablo have won an Oscar for her Juno screenplay but I'm not really expecting an award for her this time. This is not an Oscar material but the magic of her writing skills may grow on you.



The horror they are presenting here is kinda edgy for high school students but it won't give chills for the adults. The movie is really sexy. Can I say scorching sexy!??? There is a very shocking scene to me in the mid-part of the movie. The scene is shot so close-up and it may shock some guys out there. There is a naughty lesbian kiss between Jennifer and Needy. It's just weird coz it appears out of nowhere! These chicks dig guys and yet we see them snogging like hungry wolves.Honestly,the movie has a decent special effects. The soundtrack is so emo. The songs are heavily played in the entire movie. Since I am not a huge huge fan of this genre. I just find the songs forgettable.



Megan Fox was born to play the role of Jennifer. Her character is aphrodisiac and a bit of a bitch. Oh yeah she's so bitchy! Fox tries so hard but she's not really amazing. She's just hot. Period. But I like her acting during the virgin offering, I love her sexy vociferation. Jennifer’s Body is actually Amanda Seyfried’s picture. She’s terrific. Her eyes is really magnetizing. You know how she feels and she makes Needy the character to love. It's also weird that nerdy people can get laid sometimes. I thought they're busy with books and everything. Johnny Simmons as Chip is cute to watch. I find him actually funny during the condom scene. Adam Brody who plays Nikolai the leader of the band quietly steals some scenes here.




Jennifer's Body is not to be taken seriously. Just watch it and don't ponder so deep. Focus on Megan Fox alone and the movie is already worth watching (if you're into this stuff). It’s one of those rare teen horror movies these days. This is all about wicked fun. This movie is kinda perfect for a Halloween sleep over.
