MICHAEL JACKSON - THIS IS IT
Michael Jackson's This Is It is a rare, behind-the-scenes
look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out
concerts at London's O2 Arena.
Chronicling the months from April
through June 2009, this film was produced with the full support of the Estate
of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of
behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs
for the show. In raw and candid detail, Michael Jackson's This Is It captures
the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at
work as he creates and perfects his planned final London shows.
SUDCs review: Brilliant dancing from some of the top dancers and the King of pop at his best.
STOMP THE YARD
o.DJ (Columbus Short), an amazing underground street
dancer, hasn't been in college for a day before he's entranced by the lovely
April (Meagan Good). Working as a gardener to pay the bills, DJ doesn't fit in
with the wealthier students around campus, but one thing does catch his
attention - the rival fraternity competition known as "stepping." With April's
help, DJ learns about the legacy and heritage behind the fraternities and
decides to join up. Now part of an official step group, DJ now must balance
rehearsals, work, and school, while at the same time winning the heart of the
girl of his dreams. With the National Step Championship drawing closer, DJ must
learn to stop dancing as an individual, and to start stepping as part of a
team.
