Summary: Just when you though he was finished...
Review: Michael Jackson does it again with HIStory on Film: Volume II. This DVD features 14 short films (3 featured on Michael's other DVD) on a two-sided DVD designed to blow you away! Michael Jackson's ability to excite the millions who listen to his music and watch his short films is just magical and mystical, but cool nonetheless.

This is the lineup on this DVD:

SIDE ONE:

1. Program Start - nothing really, just the title screen pretty much.

2. Teaser - The promotional video used for the HIStory album features the unveiling of a gigantic statue of Michael Jackson. very cool to watch, and sets you up for the rest of the video.

3. Billie Jean (Motown 25 Performance)- The 1983 performance of Michael's hit "Billie Jean" where Michael debuted the most awe-inspiring dance move in history, the Moonwalk. This concert received an Emmy nomination and is the landmark for Michael's ability to perform in front of many. A good performance overall.

4. Beat It - Featured on the first HIStory DVD, titled "Video Greatest Hits: HIStory", this video contains outstanding choreography and excellent dance moves by Michael. A good video for any Michael Jackson fan.

5. Liberian Girl - A very rare music video featuring many A-list actors like John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Corey Feldman (huge MJ fan), Dan Akroyd and Steve Guttenberg, as well as musical icons like "Weird Al" Yankovic, Paula Abdul, and producer Quincy Jones. A great video, a must see.

6. Smooth Criminal - The full version taken from the 1988 movie "Moonwalker" features very complex choreography and good music and plot. A very good short film to watch.

7. 1995 MTV Video Music Awards Performance - Michael Jackson performed a 15-minute medley of past and present hits including "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Dangerous", "Billie Jean", and "You Are Not Alone". This outstanding performance literally stole the show and is forever known as one of the greatest Michael Jackson performances to this date.

8. Thriller - Also taken from the first Michael Jackson DVD, this is the masterpiece that made Michael Jackson a household name. Choreography and a plot "to die for" make this a must-see for all people, MJ fans or not.

SIDE TWO:

1. Scream (Duet With Janet Jackson) - Michael released this music video in 1995. The video features cool dance moves, dazzling special effects and other sweet tidbits, making it one of the most popular (and the most expensive) music video ever made!

2. Childhood (Theme from Free Willy 2) - Michael Jackson really touches the heart with this video. Although it seems childish at times (children riding in flying boats, that kind of stuff), this is a side of Michael Jackson that people tend to ignore. A good video and song indeed.

3. You Are Not Alone - Michael's most sensitive video in my opinion. Not only does it prove that Michael can be sensitive and calm in his music videos, it also proves that Michael is not afraid to go shirtless (lol). A touching and sensitive video, a must-see.

4. Earth Song - One word: MASTERPIECE. No other word can sum up the single most influential, most magnificent, most sensitive video Michael Jackson has ever made. An outstanding song with a more outstanding video. The title seems corny, but a corny video this ain't! See for yourself!

5. They Don't Care About Us - Two versions of this video were made. This is the version that takes place in Brazil. This video proves that Michael can do it all. Great moves accompanied by a great beat emphasized by drummers featured in the video. A great video to watch and enjoy.

6. Stranger In Moscow - A simple yet solemn video featuring Michael walking down a street in Moscow. The video is purposely in slow motion, so no, it is not a problem with your DVD player. This video is sort of dark, maybe it's the weather in it, but it is a good video that can touch a person's heart.

7. Blood On The Dance Floor (Refugee Camp Remix) - By far the worst video on the DVD. I saw the original video, and it was great. Why didn't they use that? oh well. The video's okay, but the song I guess does not fit it. It's just not Michael Jackson I guess.

8. Brace Yourself (A Kaleidoscope of Michael Jackson HIStory) - Featured on the first Michael Jackson DVD, this is not a short film, but rather a look into the career of Michael Jackson and the impact he has had on the music industry as well as the world. This puts out the simple message: Brace Yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Michael is Good. Real GOod.
Review: Michael Jackson is incredible. His energy and magic of dance is amazing. This collection of Videos on this DVD is some of the best. This DVD includes some of the most intricate videos ever as well as the longest. Very well done.

Technically they are flawless and interesting. If you are Michael fan - you'll love this. If you are not - getting this CD will let you see the creative talent of him, his producers, writers and directors have been.

Children will love the visuals and adults should get the messages. This is a fun DVD for everyone to watch and enjoy at home. I just wish it had commentary by him making these videos. That would have been the best ever!

Summary: Of all Jackson DVD's, this is the best.
Review: My brother is a big fan of rap music, and the last thing you would expect him and his friends to watch is a Michael Jackson DVD. Well, he did, and I showed him all three MJ DVD's, this one being his favorite, and mine as well.

The first side covers his classic music short-films, and captures a few of his breath-taking live appearances.

It doesn't make sense, because this is the cheapest of all MJ DVD's and it has the most material on it.

So in conclusion, if you are unsure as to which DVD to purchase, try this one, and trust me... you won't be let down. Enjoy the magic of this living Legend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MUST HAVE IN YOUR COLLECTION
Review: My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed this collection by Michael Jackson. We will never grow tired of viewing this DVD. He is such an outstanding and gifted performer, dancer & singer. This collection covers quite a spectrum of his career and you can see the changes from his earlier days to now. It contains all of his hits and to see Billy Jean performed on DVD is awesome! The concert he performed in 1997 was also great. We are so glad that we have this DVD in our collection.

Thank you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good buy!
