Reviews
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

trotsky10 I love this concert.Even though I find it does not have the energy of the 'That's the way it is' concerts it is so well filmed and the King looks great! His voice is also on great form which I appreciate more if I listen to the album and compare it to other Elvis concert albums.Truly a groundbreaking concert with the satellite live broadcast and not to mention the 8 track cartridge album that I would love to get my hands on one day :-). I wish I could have been old enough to see the live broadcast but I was only 2 at the time.All in all I can watch this concert time and time again.
Michael_Elliott Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii (1973) ** (out of 4) Hmm...I'm really not sure where I stand on this one but I guess overall I was pretty disappointed because there are simply way too many covers here. I love seeing my favorite artists doing covers but if the covers don't come close to the original then you hate to see them take the place of classic tunes and I'd feel that's the problem here. You've got The King doing a version of The Beatles' "Something", which is okay but falls flat when compared to any other version I've heard. "Early Morning Rain", "Steamroller Blues" and Sinatra's "My Way" come off rather flat and uninspired and even "Johnny B. Goode" doesn't sound all that rocking. "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" doesn't cut it nor does "I Can't Stop Loving You". "Whole Lotta Shaking' Going' On" doesn't fair any better but "Satisfied Mind" and the closing "Can't Help Falling in Love" bring a little more heat to the action. I know this was a very popular show but I saw it as a pretty boring fair even though Elvis' voice sounds terrific and he's certainly working on the stage. I think what bothered me most is how the show was produced with a rather poor band IMO.
Movie Nuttball Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii! If anybody wanted to watch a special feature concert on Elvis then this is it! In this you get to see Elvis do his incredible movements, him risking his life getting kissed by the women fans. There are many songs in this special event. It is amazing how spectacular this concert is. The King is something else here. His performance is incredible and hilarious! If you love Elvis then I strongly recommend that you watch this!Movie Nuttball's NOTE:The following notes contain some special info and the rest is is My thoughts. There was a special program many years ago called The Elvis Files. It was a two program hosted by the late great Bill Bixby. The show was live and it showed the evidence that he is still alive.Many years ago there was an edition of Sally Jessy Raphael and it had several guests there including Elvis' stepbrother, cousin, and friend Charlie Hodge. All three were against that he is alive.Elvis was a very unique man. He was one of the greatest singers and performers the world had ever seen. He was a very serious individual. He was kind, he could have fun, he could be silly but there was really a mystery to this man. What I am about to say here is all in My opinion and is My thoughts. Do I believe that his is alive? Since I believe in just about anything I really can't say that he is or he is not. I do know this however that there is something fishy going on and it has been like that ever since. If he is no longer with us then how do you explain the photo is Graceland? The telephone calls that sounded exactly like him? How do you explain all of the sightings? Sure the most simple thing to say is that they saw impersonators and people that simply resemble him but the people that say they saw him would swear that it was really him. You can believe what you want to but like most mysteries in the world this mystery of Elvis Presley has yet to be solved.Thanks for reading!
