1982, Movie, PG, 101 mins

This semi-documentary on the "King of Rock 'n' Roll" presents an unusual combination of film clips and so-called dramatic reconstructions of Elvis Presley's life. At times it is fascinating, at other times pure Memphis cornpone. After his death, Presley took on the status of an American myth, a point that's underscored by this entire work. That such a film would even be put together says a great deal about idol-worshipping fans who turned out to see THIS IS ELVIS. leave a comment

Our favorite star-crossed Loch...

Our favorite star-crossed Loch Ness Monster hunters are back together this week, hot on the trail of the Big Bad Specimen A that Laura managed to tag last time. Seriously, if these two aren't MFEO (that's Made For Each Other) in their obsessive-compulsive Captain Ahab routine, I don't know who is. When Rich gets a load of Laura's shrine-o'-newspaper-clippings, he tells her, "I thought I'd gone overboard." Guess what, Surface cast? I'm instituting a dollar-a-pun rule — it's a crisp greenback in the jar every time you spout a bit of cutesy, water-related dialogue. (Uh-oh. I don't owe a buck for "spout," do I?) After some death-defying highway hot-doggery, the pair manage to score their first above-water sighting — alongside an entire marina full of tourists. We've got monster on tape! Oh wait, no we don't. Thanks a lot, electromagnetic superpowers. Whose side are you on, anyway? Hip! Hip! Hooray for the B-story: Nim's loose in the Piggly Wiggly! Now this is the sort of read more
