LOS ANGELES - Elizabeth Taylor says the new Michael Jackson documentary is "the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking" she has ever seen.

The 77-year-old actress and longtime Jackson friend says she saw "Michael Jackson's This Is It" last week, but was sworn to secrecy until Monday, when she posted her thoughts about the film on Twitter.

Based on rehearsal footage shot while Jackson was preparing for his series of comeback concerts, the movie "cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity," Taylor says. She urged her fans to see it "again and again."

Jackson died in June at age 50, just before he was to begin a 50-concert run in London.

"Michael Jackson's This Is It" opens worldwide Tuesday night.

    Ok Elizabeth Taylor, who hasn't made a decent movie since the Ford administration. Is commenting on a movie about a person, who no matter what he did she stood behind him. Ok is the just a little biased. And besides after all the media coverage from this multiple trials. What part of his life could the public not know. Or for that fact even care to know.

    i hope this movie will get an oscar for documentary or whatever category it might be qualified. MJ was always fascinated with movie making. His short music films (not videos) had been underrated for a long time. It's time he gets recognized for his creativity and hard work in this genre of media.
