Louis Has Guts I'll Grant Him That, 3 March 2005
7/10
Author: Theo Robertson from Isle Of Bute , Scotland

Michael Jackson's Relationship with his father Joe is a controversial topic and one that is the butt of many tasteless jokes , if you've seen the BO SELECTA sketch with Michael Jackson doing a JACKASS sketch where he and his siblings wake up their father with a band you'll know what I'm talking about . Louis Theroux to his credit has tried to get Joe's side of the story and uncover the truth

This is a documentary as disturbing as it is fascinating . Joe Jackson seems to have employed " Majestik Magician " as an agent and bodyguard . You know Don King the boxing promoter who once served a long prison sentence for kicking a man to death ? Well Majestik Magician instantly reminded me of King . Except for one thing and that is Don King is a lot less scary ! Seriously Majestik ( Who's as much a magician as either myself or Saddam Hussain ) will give you nightmares long after this documentary has been shown .

Majestik manages to set up an interview with Joe Jackson while accepting a fee from Theroux . Believe me you don't want to say " I've no money on me . Do you accept a cheque ? " and an interview is arranged in a seedy looking room . Boy this interview takes irony and black comedy to new depths

LT : Did you ever beat Michael with a belt ?

JJ : No. You beat someone with a stick . I hit Michael with a belt

LT : How do you feel if Michael had a boyfriend or girlfriend ?

JJ : A what ?

LT: A boyfriend or a girlfriend ?

JJ ( Visibly angry ) : Now Michael ain't gay . He ain't gay

And at this point Majestic tells to the cameraman to stop filming . As I said Majestic isn't a man who would tolerate the word " No "

A fascinating documentary for all the wrong reasons . Very much a companion piece to LIVING WITH MICHAEL JACKSON , though Louis Theroux has obviously more courage than Martin Bashir
