Michael Jackson: This Is It, Kenny Ortega, 112 mins, (PG)Fleetwood Mac, MEN Arena, Manchester
The biggest musical event this week isn't a concert at all, but it's coming to a popcorn pit near you. By the time I'm writing this and you're reading it, Michael Jackson was meant to have performed 27 dates of his This Is It farewell show at the O2 in London, with a further 23 to follow in the spring. Whether you believe he would even have made it this far without cancellations is a matter for personal conjecture. And it's a question that the feature film, cobbled together from his rehearsals...

As Wednesday’s premiere inched closer and the projected totals got higher and higher I felt a pang of doubt - could this movie actually make $250 million worldwide in its first five days as AEG had boasted? I needn’t have worried. In fact, it...
