    What's amazing about this, Elvis' third movie, is that he plays a jerk. For all but the last 5 minuets, the guy is pretty unlikable. Now, you won't find many stars that are willing to do that without some back story about an abused childhood or something. Elvis kills…

    Stroller and Leiber knew what they were doing, I would say the Jailhouse Rock scene is close to Thriller! Amazing movie tho ngtl

    It was extremely enjoyable. I didn’t zone out at all. It was way more entertaining than I thought it would be.
