This Is It

THIS IS IT (2009) - Nov. 1, 2009
A really enjoyable but kind of sad concert film, documenting Michael Jackson's rehearsals for what was to be his final set of concerts, if he hadn't died.  It's sad because it shows that Jackson, despite outward appearances, was ready and completely able to put on a really great show, and was still clearly just as passionate of an entertainer as ever.  It's always apparent that this is just a rehearsal and not a real show, but it's just as apparent that the concert would have been pretty great.  ***1/2
