By the way, "Blue Hawaii" is probably coming out on Blu-ray soon as the iTunes HD Digital has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision.To get in the mood, I think I’m going to spin up my Aloha from Hawaii dvd this afternoon.

We’ll it sure sounds like you’re going in with an open mind.The more non-spoiler reviews I read, the more I’d rather just skip it altogether. I have all of Elvis’ commercially available concert DVDs and Blu-rays which are, let’s face it, the better part of his career as an entertainer. I’ve seen about a half dozen of his movies and never cared for them or his early singing career. To me, he didn’t start to become remotely interesting until the ‘68 comeback special.
Well, Bugsy Malone was a hit in the late 70s, dealing with the Prohibition period, so you never know.I’m seeing it next week, but I wonder if it has much appeal for younger cinemagoers. The king has been dead 45 years, unfortunately.
It’s like expecting teenage me in the 80s to be interested in a Glenn Miller biopic.
'suburb movies'? What am I missing here?Both ROCKETMAN and BOHEMIAN RHAPOSDY were suburb movies?
I get what you're saying but this shouldn't be an issue for Elvis. It isn't something young children would watch. It seemed like I was the youngest person in my screening the other day.inattentive parents with screaming kids.
Agreed. If this movie was coming out in November or December, he'd be a lock for an Oscar nomination but I assume like most movies released before the last quarter of the year, he won't make it. However, it's possible because I imagine that Warners will mount a big push for him.Austin Butler is phenomenal in this role. I think he would win Best Actor if the ceremony was held next week. Whether the Academy remembers him by next March remains to be seen, but he should be in the conversation. Win or not, Butler is easily the best thing about this movie and he deserves to become a star from it. He really made me feel for Elvis.
Butler is absolutely electrifying in that scene. I don't know who is singing (I'm assuming it's actually Butler) but yeah, it is the highlight of the movie.The first time Elvis performs "Suspicious Minds" in Vegas is my favorite scene in the movie. I won't spoil any of the context, but that scene to me was the movie at the peak of its powers.
That's never stopped lowlife parents from bringing their brats to inappropriate movies. I've been in R-rated horror films where there have been toddlers running around.I get what you're saying but this shouldn't be an issue for Elvis. It isn't something young children would watch. It seemed like I was the youngest person in my screening the other day.
In the case of Elvis, it would have to be grandparents or great-grandparents because when I saw it, the average age seemed to be about 90.That's never stopped lowlife parents from bringing their brats to inappropriate movies.
The editors combined Austin Butler and actual recordings of Elvis.I don't know who is singing (I'm assuming it's actually Butler) but yeah, it is the highlight of the movie.
It works like a charm.The editors combined Austin Butler and actual recordings of Elvis.
How ‘Elvis’ Composer Wove in the King’s Vocals With Austin Butler’s Performance
'Elvis' composer Elliott Wheeler on how the film wove in Presley's vocals with Austin Butler's performance.variety.com
Yeah. The only way I could tell which was which is by looking in the credits during the list of all the songs when it tells you who performed what.It works like a charm.
Huh? Buggy Malone was certainly not a hit in the 70’s. It was actually a flop grossing less than $3 million dollars worldwide.Well, Bugsy Malone was a hit in the late 70s, dealing with the Prohibition period, so you never know.
