Loving You
Elvis 2nd movie and the first in colour.

This movie is like watching a biopic of his early rise to fame and it's ace because of this...Great songs and pretty good acting from a young Elvis.

Jailhouse Rock (1957,  Unrated)
Jailhouse Rock
Elvis is just great in his 3rd movie...This does not get full marks because the last 5 mins are pretty shallow...The Jailhouse Rock dance number is a total classic.

I'm continuing my 30th Anniversary Elvis week by watching this movie on DVD.

It's not one of Elvis best movies but then again it's not his worst. I like this movie, but it's 100% one for the fans or for kids. It has a very childish feel to it and the songs reflect that (Old McDonald in probably a career low for The King). I really like the song and the scene for 'I Love on the One Girl' though

Elvis tours Europe in this including London, of course Elvis never came to London so it's all at the MGM backlot.

The movie has many dumb characters in it including the incredibly annoying The Wiere Brothers playing a kind of rubbish trio of Inspector Clouseau type wannabes. Some will like these guys but most will hate them, I'm in the 'hate them' camp.

The movie has some good points and Elvis fans will enjoy it, and like I said, kids will find something to enjoy as well.
For the rest of you however, It's probably best you don't see Elvis on the back of a truck singing to some chicks (and those ain't girls)


(take 2 stars off this score if you're not a fan of Elvis)

Elvis last movie (TTWII and On Tour were next) and it's damn good. Elvis looked great before going to Vegas and Mary Tyler Moore is hot in this with that Nuns outfit;)

The songs are great but Have a Happy seems out of place.

The one thing I don't like about this movie is the Autism aspect of it..It seems very out of date and the scene with Elvis/Mary and the kid is very uncomfertable to watch.

Well worth a watch even if you're not an Elvis fan.
