Stars:
Austin Butler as Elvis
Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker
Olivia DeJonge as Priscilla
Helen Thomson as Gladys
Richard Roxburgh as Vernon

Plot:
This epic drama explores the life and music of Elvis Presley as seen through the prism of Presley's complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker.

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Featurettes
• Music Videos
• Digital Copy

While I did enjoy this film, I felt I could have enjoyed it more if it was done like most other biopics... and not been done by from the colonel's perspective. I personally would have enjoyed it much more if it was just the story of Elvis' life from childhood to death. Though I can understand why they did it this way. It was still good enough to keep my interest for the over 2 and a half hours that it lasted. So it is not like it is a bad movie. I would definitely say it is worth the watch. Even if they just barely glanced over certain parts of his life. The cast did do a good job and the story telling did keep my interest. So I am glad I added this one to my collection.

Charmed Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

"Apocalypse Not"
Original Airdate: May 11, 2000
Piper, Phoebe and Leo must rescue Prue, who has become trapped in a vortex with one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

My Thoughts:
A good episode... though basically a filler episode. Nothing really all that special about it.

"Be Careful What You Witch For"
Original Airdate: May 18, 2000
Prue is killed and Piper and Phoebe are powerless to reverse the deadly damage when a fast-talking genie working for a Dragon Warlock grants each of the sisters a wish.

My Thoughts:
they decided to end this season with more of a fun episode then something serious. They had French Stewert to guest star as the genie... which I doubted the first time I heard about it... but he actually did a good job. It is kinda odd how they temporarily killed Prue in this episode what with what happens at the end of the next season.
