"An Introspective Look at "Michael Mania" during the '80's" (Rating: 5.00) Review : This video cassette was released about 15 years ago, but it still proves to be one of the best music video compilations ever. It was released way back in 1988, when the album "BAD", was taking the market by storm, and "Michael Jackson", was at the height of his powers. If you enjoyed the "BAD" album, along with "Thriller" and Michael's output with "The Jacksons", then this VHS is for you. "Man in the Mirror", "Bad", "Speed Demon", "Leave Me Alone", and "Smooth Criminal" represent material off of "BAD (1987)." While a medley of "Billie Jean", "Human Nature", "Thriller", "Say, Say, Say" and "Beat It" represent The 1983 "Thriller Hey Day." You also get some snippets of the songs "State of Shock (1984)", "We Are The World (1985)", and "Dirty Diana (1988)", which are unavailable on any "Michael Jackson" video release, past or present. The special effects on "Smooth Criminal", "Speed Demon", and "Leave Me Alone" are phenominal, and rank up their with "Thriller", "Black or White", and "Ghosts." Too bad no live performance footage from the "BAD World Tour 1987-1989" was included, but what's here is golden. Hopefully this VHS will be remastered for a DVD re-release some time soon. THIS MOVIE IS NOTHING FRESH (Rating: 5.00) Review : I still remember the day michael released this tape to home video I was so excited when my mom came home and told me.I mean I started doing dance moves from the Thriller tape(which my mom owns).Before we bought it and it was at blockbuster and video magic and I was able to rent a tape I would always get that most of the time and mom thriller.I still watch it a lot because I am trying to learn the most of the moves to Smooth Criminal cause I got some of down but not all.The tape has a lot of great stuff on it such as clips from videos and the leave me alone video and a special somewhat concert performance of Come Together(my fave) and Man in the Mirror at the beginning.It was also cool when he was doing bad video then he turns from a kid into a grown who gets chased by mobbing fans and then claymation kicks in with Speed demon playing .But to tell the truth michael has good acting skills.But thing about was that instead of the old boring regular credits roll by.Michael at first showed the credits to the documentary with some guys doing an acapella and switching from behind-the-scenes clips and the guys.Then you think its over but it shows cmooth criminal fast paced(great setting for it) and rolls the movie part credits and more video credits.A must have for every Jackson fan. One big tease to anyone who's STILL a MJ fan! (Rating: 3.00) Review : Man in the mirror is the only reason why I brought the video. Then to see him in concert... that was disappointing. Then I just seen clips of some of his greatest songs ever made. The video is a big tease to the imagination to those who will love to see, what Michael Jackson really was before he got himself caught up in all this trouble. I really regrett buying this. The best part of it is, Just leave me alone. Which I will do this tape. The Greatest (Rating: 5.00) Review : This is one of the two greatest music video compilations I've ever seen since I started to enjoy the Western Pop music. Another one is certainly "Making Of Thriller". However it's so strange that the damned SONY doesn't yet have the intention even today to release these two as DVD format! If somebody tells me there are no more requests for these "old" videos among Michael's fans or any music lovers, it's not the truth. I just hope someone can give me a reason! A bit of a mess, but the music is great! (Rating: 4.00) Review : Made when Michael Jackson was the biggest superstar in the world and before all that tabloid attention. To start off with, it features a video medley of all his greatest hits from when he was in the Jackson 5 and his solo career, then it moves on to the actuall hour-long movie, full of music and killer-coriography by non-other than the man himself. Most of the soundtrack is from his newest album at the time 'Bad', ofwhich 'Smooth Criminal' is the theme tune, though it does include tracks like 'Thriller', 'Billie Jean', Blame It On The Boogie' and 'Man In The Mirror', not to mention an extremly good cover of the Beatles' 'Come Together'. The entire movie in itself is a bit of a mess, but fans will love it for it's great music and dance. In between Michael excaping claymation groupies & paparazzi, he also battles drug lords, saves the children, destroys a 30s-era club with a machine gun (long Smooth Criminal video), turns into robots & cars & still has time to shake his thang wearing skin tight black leather pants & singing a cover of "Come Together"....just another day for Michael Jackson. but let's get back to the MUSIC & even better let the VIDEOS to them. the highlights here are the videos, the long form Smooth Criminal video, featuring some of the BEST Michael Jackson dancing on film (imo anyways), the funky 80s-era special effects of Leave Me Alone. |
