Movie 1: Epic: Elvis Presley in Concert
This is a very entertaining documentary of Elvis Presley’s life in the early 1970’s. Throughout the two hour movie Elvis is brought back with live footage from concerts and his offstage life. It shows a humanness and vulnerability of Elvis not always apparent in past and present news stories. Seeing and hearing this movie on the big screen is definitely worth the time and effort.

Movie 2: The Bride
This movie is one wild ride with over the top visuals. This is Maggie Gyllenhaal’s second directorial movie. Set in 1930’s Chicago, a scientist sets out to create a companion for Frankenstein. This is not the usual Frankenstein movie. Some scenes reminded us of Bonnie and Clyde while other scenes brought back the fun of Rocky Horror Picture Show. The bold take on feminism is both dark and fascinating. Jessie Buckley gives another amazing performance. This movie has no middle ground. You will either find it mesmerizing or you’ll walk out.

Movie 3: Hoppers
This is a wonderfully entertaining Pixar animated film for children and adults. Scientists have discovered a way for humans and animals to talk to one another. A local politician is trying to build a highway through a remote and bucolic countryside. Fun humor and an excellent environmental lesson for children of all ages. Pixar hits a homerun with this one.

We saw Hoppers today and loved it. Great environmental lessons, as you pointed out. And lots of fun.
Thanks guys. An Elvis documentary? Ok I may try it.
Thanks for the reviews. A friend wants to see Elvis, maybe I’ll go with her.
