We did stream "3000 Miles From Graceland" about a year ago. Honestly, I can't remember if we liked it or not. lol Congrats on finishing this blogfest which is right up your alley!

Brad Pitt is extremely easy on the eyes and exuded star quality so there's that but I only watched it the once and that was plenty. <br /><br />Haven't seen 3000 Miles.

Can't stand either of those movies. <br />I vaguely remember seeing the Graceland movie. Don't remember it.<br />Tried to watch Judy this weekend and turned it off before I was half-way through. Don't understand the praise. Thought it was a train wreck.

Rotten Tomatoes is the movie equivalent of news / information sources like CNN, MSNBC, NPR, and Wackypedia. (*By the grace of God, far more often than not, I am more than smart enough to recognize when I am being lied to.*)<br /><br />Yeah, 'Thelma & Louise' - silly movie. Period.<br /><br />I've never even heard of '3000 MILES TO GRACELAND'.<br /><br />Going just off the top of my mind, two movies I would mention in the category of 'Vastly Overrated' are Clint Dumbwood's 'Unforgiven'. It's quite possibly the second most overrated Western movie of all time (preceded only by Gary Cooper's 'High Noon').<br /><br />Another one that I find incredibly overrated is 'The Shawshank Redemption'. Yeah, I know you love it, but it seems so unnecessary following 'Papillon' and 'Cool Hand Luke', which are tremendously superior prison movies in every damned way!!<br /><br />A movie I love, which has a very unjustified reputation for being horrible, is 'ONE FROM THE HEART'. It has some of the greatest cinematography to ever come out of Hollyweird, and Harry Dean Stanton is wonderful in it. There's a ton of slyly humorous scenes, and I think it may possibly be the most underrated movie ever. <br /><br />One more... 'MORE AMERICAN GRAFFITI' was WAY PHUQIN' BETTER'N everyone has been led to believe!! Sure, if you're gonna compare it to its predecessor, it comes up weak. How could it not? 'American Graffiti' is an absolute classic, which far eclipses most movies with tremendously greater budgets. <br /><br />But, if you fergit about 'American Graffiti', and judge 'More American Graffiti' according to its own merits - divorced from its association with the original classic - it is OBVIOUSLY a highly entertaining movie in its own right, and it is about a trillion times better'n 94.67% of the movies that have been released since 1979.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://xtremelyun-pcandunrepentant.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">~ Stephen</a></b><br />DogGtor of Alcohology & <br />King of Inebriation NationStephen T.

I never saw Graceland, but didn't really care for the clip. Personally, based on the clips/trailers only, I don't care for either of them. My rotten tomato score would be about a 5 for both of them.

I thought it was OK but with a really sappy ending that made me glad those bitches drove off a cliff.<br /><br /><i>3000 Miles to Graceland</i> is underrated. It's just stupid fun. It's funny and it's got action that is just over-the-top. Plus, it has Kurt Russell being Elvis again as he did play the King in a TV movie from 1979 directed by John Carpenter and was in <i>It Happened at the World's Fair</i> w/ the King where he played a kid kicking Elvis in the shins. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-44271101877057552542020-08-23T16:55:48.704-04:002020-08-23T16:55:48.704-04:00Hi, Birgit!

I don't like tough women (with the exception of Pussy Galore) and didn't care for this picture that follows a pair of female buddies on a danger filled road trip. Geena is okay but I dislike Susan. I think the shock ending was intended to get everybody buzzing about the movie and thereby fill theater seats.<br /><br />I need to watch Dances With Elvis, especially since Costner plays one mean bad ass Mother...(shut yo mouth). Courtney Cox always impresses me when she goes to the big screen. Thanks for the tip.<br /><br />BB, as of tomorrow morning I am beginning a brief blogging break. (Say that five times fast.) I will be unplugged and absent from social media until September 2. Take good care of yourself and I'll see you then, dear friend!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-79372290094921855212020-08-23T16:29:40.052-04:002020-08-23T16:29:40.052-04:00Thelma and Louise is not a female empowerment film...Thelma and Louise is not a female empowerment film.

And I didn't like the ending, either. Cool choice with 3000 Miles To Graceland. That was a fun movie! Thanks for the reminder; must watch it again, soon. And, I also saw that Elvis film starring Kurt Russell. He did an excellent impersonation.Debbie D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/13153118405565035071noreply@blogger.com
