All fans knew Michael Jackson could entertain and from seeing this film nothing had changed. What this documentary does give a bit more insight into though is his creative process and how well he knew his stuff. From his conversations with his musical directors and others there is now no doubt that he did have a lot of musical input with his albums/videos after seeing this film. I notice another reviewer mentions that he thought that when MJ was talking to his team that he thought he was treated like a delicate child, and maybe I did get that a bit. But more so I felt it was a professional who wanted everything to be perfect. If something wasn't right during a concert it would have reflected on him and as with everything MJ did with his music he wanted it to be as great as possible. Other than that and the direction and critiquing he does with the music, the clips that would have been played before and during a song during the concerts were great and looked pricey. We also see some brief interviews with the dancers that mention what MJ has meant to them and their careers. Lastly, some of the slight musical changes to songs like extra horns added to 'Jam' gave the song another dimension and were great as were all the songs with the cinema surround sound. Other than those things there isn't a huge amount to take out of this film if you have seen any of his concerts. However, you do see him a bit more intimately than his old concert videos and there ain't a doubt that these FIFTY! concerts would have been great and no doubt reignited his career. Obviously, if you love his music and are interested in what the concerts would have been like then this is worth seeing.

I like both leads in this. Winslet is a female favourite and Carey a classic in some of his film ventures, but this never engaged me. I didn't get the connection between Clementine and Joel at all. Yeah, opposites attract and all that, but Clementine seemed like an annoying dill, Joel a depressing sad-sack and I couldn't see the relationship working. So when there are problems in the relationship from the jump I'm meant to care as the viewer? The plot about removing memories and such was interesting, and the subplot links nicely in with the main characters' issues but nothing is that special about it and some scenes felt somewhat disjointed. 3-2.5.

As an 11/12 year old I remember hearing 'Kyle's Mom's a Bitch' on the radio and finding it very humorous, and I feel like that is the demographic who would find this film funny as I watch it in my early 20s. Perhaps more than most episodes, the jokes almost purely revolve around swearing to the point of over-over-over kill and don't get me started on Terrance and Phillip... It surprises me that with the rating this was always going to receive in many countries that they were put in. Do young adults or late teens for that matter still find their fart jokes funny? The whole Saddam and Satan relationship is painfully unfunny also. This is kind of where I stand with the television series itself. When it's clever there are some good episodes, but too often I feel like it's for children who get kicks out of hearing three animated children swear at each other. That may come across as pretentious but that's just my thoughts. The plot pretty much focuses on satirising censorship (it's okay to show extreme violence but not explicit language-hence all the swearing) and the whole Canadian/American relationship that has been done many times. The intense Mole character, the hospital scene, and Bill Gates getting shot when he's trying to explain how fast Windows 98 is was mildly amusing, but overall this comedy didn't do much for me as the rating suggests.

The will-they-won't-they, toing and froing between Pete and Mary gets old in this. It's almost romance as a primary genre. Mary gets pissed off at Pete when she sends mixed messages. Some scenes are cringe-worthy such as Mary Jane talking to Pete while he is holding a wall over her. Move!!! There was another key one as well that isn't coming to me at the moment. Doctor Octopus makes for some good action scenes but can't save it. The whole Harry Osborn getting revenge on Spider-Man sub-plot doesn't come to much either. 2-2.5

This is a decently made film about the beginnings of the Mexican mafia that is based on a true story but takes a number of liberties with its source material. Some aspects aren't completely fleshed out either and I don't think you get the enormity of the mafia once Montoya is on the outside. It's never boring and features some noteworthy scenes, but at times I couldn't get past the characters ending every sentence with "esé" or "homes". It just got annoying. I also feel some of the actors were trying too hard, including with their Latino accents. William Forsythe being one of the main culprits.
