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.

You'll like him once you get your hands on this plethora of Michael Jackson's greatest and most well-known short films of the 80's and 90's, simply titled "Video Greatest Hits: HIStory". Michael Jackson, with his outstanding efforts in music and entertainment, stands tall as one of the pioneers of music and music videos, and this immaculate collection of short films proves just that.

This DVD (or VHS, whichever you may have) features 10 of Michael's top short films, all in their full-length, uncut entirety!!!

The lineup of short films include:

1. Brace Yourself (A Kaleidoscope of Michael Jackson HIStory) : Although it is not a short film, it does give you a taste of Michael Jackson's impact on the world of music, the fans, and the world, and puts out a simple message: Brace Yourself.

2. Billie Jean - The popular video that single-handedly broke the barrier between not only man and music, but also the color barrier on MTV, as he became the first black musical artist to have a video shown on MTV.

3. The Way You Make Me Feel - A great video all by itself, this video, which lasts nearly 9 1/2 minutes, features Michael at a high point in his career, with his innovative dance moves and impeccable standards for music!

4. Black Or White - This video, aired in 1991 on many broadcast stations around the nation, started the beginning of Michael's music onslaught of the 90's...and a lot of controversy as well. This video, featuring dance moves galore and a kaleidoscope of nations around the world, also featured a scene at the end, most commonly called "the panther scene", as it features a panther who morphs into Michael Jackson and then dances in the street, ravaging a car with gang and racist graffiti sprayed on the windows, and sexy yet somewhat disturbing gyrations with his crotch. This scene sparked outrage, but no matter what, this is one of his best short films.

5. Rock With You - A video made in 1979 features Michael Jackson dancing in a sparkling jumpsuit, singing. It doesn't seem like much, but the countless lights and other special effects you will see definitely make it worthwhile

6. Bad - Directed by world-renown director Martin Scorsese, This full 18 minute long version follows a high school kid (played by Michael) who goes to a private school. When school lets out he then goes home to visit his friends, who get the feeling that he has changed, and he's not "bad" anymore. Michael proves that he is, though, by showing off many mezmorizing dance moves. The choreography in this short film is just too good for anybody but Michael to perform. This video is probably one of his greatest.

7. Thriller - This short film showed that one man can indeed change the way people look at the connection between music and film. Michael does a fantastic job in this video, with the sometimes-crazy choreography and such. A must-see for any person, MJ fan or not. Directed by John Landis.

8. Beat It - Michael does it again with this music video, as it follows two gangs and their vendettas between each other. Again, the choreography is to die for, and the layout is just spectacular!

9. Remember The Time - Michael will blow you away in this short film featuring Michael, comedian/actor Eddie Murphy, supermodel Iman, and basketball legend Magic Johnson. Set in Egypt, Michael dazzles even the faithless soul with dance moves, special effects, and anything you would wish for in a short film. Definitely one to see!

10. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson's first major music video features special effects and pretty good dancing. Good for its time, but unfortunately does not stand the test of time as well as people hoped. A good video though.

11. Heal The World - Not a short film, but rather a look into the heartache of sick and dying children around the world. Michael, in this video, hopes to touch your heart with this video and hopes that you can do what you can to "Heal The World".

In closing, Michael Jackson proves to be the single greatest musical icon that the world has ever seen, and not a single person can make the same impact that Michael has made in music!
