Rate The Last Film You've Seen With Marks Out Of Ten - Part Two

'Elvis'

 

 9/10

 

No review, but there are some incredible shivers-down-your-spine moments. Hairs DID stand up on the back of my neck. Thought the fella who played BB King was impressive. Didn't recognise him from anything previously.  

The last 25 minutes(ish) I felt genuinely sick watching Parker's manipulations. I know Elvis brought a lot of his downfall on himself by being weak, but an unselfish Parker could have steered him a completely different way. Oscar nomination for Hanks I reckon.
Can't give it a 10 as Luhrmann felt it necessary to include a few rap numbers. WHY????? Rap has no place near Elvis.
You never know, next up, a Parker film made by his decedents showing how wrong this film was? Stranger things....

Midnight in the Switchgrass


Its a true story about a truck driver who is a serial killer, or should I say it’s based on a true story because you could tell the end of the film has been sensationalised and not based on the truth.  

I enjoyed the film tho and it’s wasn’t to long.


 Netflix 7/10

 

Watched this last night ,  not bad 6/10

Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool

 

I loved this film which is based on a true story.  

 

There’s a dance scene in the film which was the best scene in the film for me. Jamie Bell is in the dance scene along with an actress called Annette Benning, they are both very cool and sexy when they dance together.  I can’t remember Jamie Bell dancing like that when he played Billy Elliot, but he has grown up a lot since then. 

 

The film is funny at times but also some very sad parts.

 

10/10
