BRUTALLY HONEST ROCK ALBUM REVIEWS
Elvis Presley – As Recorded at Madison Square Garden

ALBUM REVIEW
OVERALL (OUT OF 10): 4
Not that the world for any reason deserved it, but one fine day in 1935 God was feeling generous and sent a wonderous gift to world that happened to land in Tupelo, Mississippi, and grew to be the greatest musical force ever produced in the Western Hemisphere (rivaled only by four lads from Liverpool on the other side of the Atlantic). About twenty years later Satan, seeing all the beauty and joy this gift was giving to the world, couldn’t stand it anymore and appeared in the guise of Colonel Tom Parker to take the gift away. But such was the power of the gift that it took the Devil more than two decades to completely kill it, and over those years much of its beauty still shone through in spite of The Evil One’s best efforts. Oh, Elvis – what you could have been in a Colonel Tom Parker-less world. I visited Graceland for the first time a few months ago, and spent some time sitting by his grave, and I have to sa

From Here to the Great Unknown, by Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough, sheds a light not only on Elvis Presley’s life at Graceland, but Lisa’s lifelong struggles that will rip your heart out.

It was really good and then it fell apart
I have been excited to see this for months - finally out on MAX so I went for it - and the first hour was fantastic . They were both very good in their roles and the chemistry( or lack of ) was very well presented . It took the story of the two of them meeting and made it come to life , the filming was interesting and the general vibe felt spot on . The development in this first part for the characters was great and you really felt like you were being set up to be taken somewhere

The jump from being in an abusive relationship to being her own woman was instant and it all felt very juvenile and hallmark in the end .
Worth watching ? Yes for sure . Not great film but really cou
