Sweet November/Recess: School's Out/Down to Earth/Faithless/Yi Yi

Fun at times but too long & clever for its own good.

decent film, you might find something you like in it

A fine action black comedy which doesn't deserve the bad reviews.

3000 Miles to Graceland

Entertaining and disappointing at the same time

This movie is a very mixed bag. First of all, it&apos;s not at all what I expected. I thought this was going to be a comedy where guys stage a heist dressed up as Elvis impersonators. And whilst it kind of is that, it&apos;s more of a crime movie and the heist takes place in the first thirty minutes with the rest of the runtime dealing with its fallout. This was very disappointing because based on the premise I was prepared to watch an Ocean&apos;s Eleven type of movie where the majority of it is the gang staging the heist and then executing the plan in the last act. There really is no planning involved in this and it just gets straight to it with the robbery being rather disappointing and unrealistic but also somewhat fun due to to how crazy and violent it is. I also wanted to see more of Kurt Russell&apos;s stellar Elvis impersonation which he has done so well in the past. There were a few scenes in which we got to see it but not enough when I expected him to be doing it throughout the whole film.

Surprisingly it is Kevin Costner that steals the show in possibly his only role in which he plays a villain, at least the only one where I&apos;ve seen him do that. He is really unleashed in this movie in a way that I certainly haven&apos;t seen before, acting completely different from his usual shtick. Furthermore, the movie looks decent in terms of cinematography and the rest of the cast is also fine. As bad and insanely stupid as the movie is at times it really is entertaining. I can&apos;t give it a bad rating when I genuinely enjoyed watching it for the most part despite my complaints. It&apos;s the type of movie where you might be getting bored but suddenly Ice T appears hanging from the ceiling mowing people down with uzi&apos;s (this actually happens). At times it&apos;s laughably bad, especially during the terrible CGI intro and at times a decent enough crime film. However, the one thing that really annoyed me was the soundtrack which is very much of its time as it mostly consists of terrible early 2000&apos;s techno and we only get one or two Elvis songs. I&apos;m sorry but In an Elvis themed movie I expect 90% of the soundtrack to be the King so to get techno instead was really grating. All in all though, despite the awful music the movie is certainly watchable and fun for the most part with the show-stealing performance by Costner being its main selling point.
