My Thoughts:
Just finished watching this one. I found it to be a fun movie... but was somehow expecting a little more. I always found Ben Stiller to be a little hit and miss... I usually like maybe half the stuff I seen him in. He was pretty good in this one. But I had more fun watching Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney. I normally like Robin Williams a lot... but didn't care to much for him in this one. But over-all a fun film... worth the time put n to watch it.

My Rating:

Love Me Tender, a review by GSyren


Love me tender (7-340112-705220)
United States 1956 | Released 2013-10-23 on Bluray from Fox-Paramount Home Entertainment
90 minutes | Aspect ratio 2.35:1 | Audio: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, English DTS-HD Master Audio Mono, Spanish Dolby Digital Mono, Spanish DTS-HD Master Audio Mono, German DTS 5.1, Italian DTS-HD Master Audio Mono, Polish Dolby Digital Mono, Commentary Dolby Digital Mono
Directed by Robert Webb and starring Elvis Presley, Richard Egan, Debra Paget, Robert Middleton, William Campbell

Moviegoers were introduced to Elvis Presley in this film set during the dying hours of the Civil War. Elvis sings four songs, including the title song. The year is 1865, and the three Confederate Reno brothers don't know the war has ended. They manage to steal a Union Army payroll, and head for home with the money. While Vance (Richard Egan) can think only of the love of his life, Cathy (Debra Paget), it turns out that the brothers have been reported dead, and Cathy has married their youngest brother Clint (Elvis Presley). Vance accepts this until he learns that Cathy still loves him. To complicate things, the U.S. Army knows of the brothers' theft and is hunting them down.

My thoughts about Love me tender:
Love Me Tender was a blind buy for me. I did not know what to expect, but I did not expect this. Love Me Tender feels a bit like it's suffering from split personality. On the one hand it's a fairly good B-movie western. On the other hand it is an Elvis movie. Or perhaps I should say "an Elvis movie wannabe". Anyway, the two does not mix very well. Elvis' routines seem very anachronistic in an 1865 setting.

Love Me Tender is the one and only Elvis movie where Elvis does not receive top billing. And it is probably also the only Elvis movie where Elvis was an afterthought. And that explains the duality of the movie.

There are no real big names in the cast, but many competent actors like Richard Egan, Debra Paget and Neville Brand. And in uncredited small roles actors like L. Q. Jones and Dick Sargent.

If you're expecting a "regular" Elvis movie, then you probably will be disappointed. If you watch it as just another B-movie western, you'll be OK if you can disregard the rather uncalled for musical numbers. I had no problems with that, so I thought it was fine enough.
I rate this title

"Friends" Marathon, a review by Rogmeister




The One With The Prom Video  Monica's old home video elicits the true feelings Ross has for Rachel.  Joey gives Chandler a gift.

Joey's gift for Chandler is a gaudy bracelet..."You are so wearing that bracelet" he says but it's pretty gaudy.  "It's pretty flashy" Chandler admits..."Oh no," corrects Ross..."it's not gaudy...not for a GoodFella..."  I like this episode a lot, especially the comments made while the gang watches the video and we get a good look at how Monica looked back then when she weighed a lot more...

Joey: Some girl ate Monica!
Monica: Shut up!  The camera adds 10 pounds!
Chandler: So just how many cameras are on you?

The One Where Ross and Rachel...You Know  Ross and Rachel encounter romantic obstacles while Monica falls for a romantic older doctor (Tom Selleck).

Ross: Doctor Burke?  Why, why, why...should that bother me?  I love that man...he's like a brother to...dad.

The One Where Joey Moves Out  Joey decides to move out into his own place while Monica's parents find out about her and Richard (Tom Selleck).

This begins a plotline where Joey and Chandler are apart and Monica and Richard are now an item.

The One Where Eddie Moves In  Chandler gets a new roommate named Eddie while Phoebe makes a video for Smelly Cat.

Chandler will be sorry when he finds out that Eddie is a real nutbag...Phoebe's friends find out when she shows them her Smelly Cat video that the record company didn't use Phoebe's own voice for the video.

The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies  In an interview with a soap opera magazine, Joey boasts that he makes up some of his own dialogue, so the writers counter by having his character fall down an elevator shaft.  That's gonna leave a mark...

Joey's obviously going to have problems in this episode's aftermath while Chandler learns just what kind of nut Eddie really is.

The One Where Eddie Won't Go  Joey feels the crunch of unemployment, especially regarding his Visa bill and the expense of paying for some paying for some items he can't afford.  Chandler can't abide his new roommate Eddie who acts nuttier and nuttier.

Chandler does get rid of Eddie finally...as Joey moves back in.
