Ten Best Elvis Presley Hollywood Movies
Monday, October 31st, 2011 /

Elvis Presley as Mike Windgren in Fun in Acapulco (1963)

Elvis Presley (1935-1977) starred in 31 dramatic movies during his lifetime. The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s first film was Love Me Tender (1956) and his last Change of Habit (1969).

Elvis’ movies were mostly light-hearted musical-comedies, with plenty of songs, romance and beautiful girls. Here are ten movies no Elvis fan should ever miss, the King’s cinematic “good luck charms” from his vaunted Hollywood years.

Fun in Acapulco (Paramount, 1963)

Elvis plays Mike Windgren, a traumatized ex-trapeze artist who is fired from his boating job and finds employment as a lifeguard/entertainer at a resort in Acapulco. The romantic fireworks erupt in this one, with Elvis competing for the ladies with champion cliff diver Moreno (Alejandro Rye). Ursula Andress a.k.a. “Ursula Undress” and Elsa Cardenas play the requisite female beauties, with young Larry Domain winningly appearing as a pint-sized street hustler named Rail. The fantastic cliff diving scenes were filmed at La Queered in Acapulco, with a stuntman doubling for Elvis. Much of the movie was shot at Paramount Pictures, with Elvis never setting foot in Mexico. The King performs a number of brassy tunes, including “Boss Nova Baby,” “El Toro” and of course “You Can’t Say No in Acapulco.” Hey, “Ole! Elvis, Music, Technicolor And Girls!” reads one of the movie’s taglines.

Easy Come, Easy Go (Paramount, 1967)

Elvis stars as Lt. (j.g.) Ted Jackson, a frogman who leaves the employ of the U.S. Navy and later returns to one of his old dive sites to salvage a shipwreck. Elvis enlists the help of Jo Symington (Dodie Marshall), whose grandfather owned the sunken ship’s manifest. With the backing of nightclub owner Judd Whitman (Pat Harrington Jr.), Elvis sets out to recover what he believes is a fortune in gold coins, but also pursuing the treasure are Gil Carey (Skip Ward) and his buxom gal pal Dina Bishop (Pat Priest). Easy Come, Easy Go, which features the lively Elvis tunes “The Love Machine” and “Yoga Is As Yoga Does,” was the King’s final effort for Paramount Pictures and producer Hal B. Wallis.

Blue Hawaii (Paramount, 1961)

Elvis plays Chad Gates, a young man just out of the Army who returns home to Hawaii and his family’s pineapple plantation. But rather than work in the family business, Elvis becomes a guide at a tourist agency. Originally titled Beach Boy, Blue Hawaii was filmed on location in Oahu and Kauai. Joan Blackman plays the King’s love interest Maile Duvall, with Angela Lansbury, Abigail Prentice, Roland Winters and Howard McNear also on hand. There’s lush scenery, beautiful girls, a passable storyline and Elvis singing a bevy of tunes, including “Rock-A-Hula Baby,” Moonlight Swim,” “Hawaiian Sunset” and “Beach Boy Blues.” Blue Hawaii proved to be Elvis’ biggest box-office success.

Viva Las Vegas (MGM, 1964)

Elvis revs up the screen as Lucky Jackson, a race car driver who hopes to win the Vegas Grand Prix. Swinging Ann-Margret appears as Rusty Martin, Elvis’ feisty love interest, with Cesare Danova as Count Elmo Mancini, the King’s main racing rival. Viva Las Vegas was filmed in Sin City, with the Sahara, Flamingo, Tropicana and Frontier employed as shooting locales. “It’s That ‘Go-Go’ Guy And That ‘Bye-Bye’ Gal In The Fun Capital Of The World!” promised the movie’s standard one sheet poster. Oh, yeah, Elvis delivers a dynamite version of the movie’s rousing title song.

Girl Happy (MGM, 1965)

Elvis plays pop singer Rusty Wells, who with his combo is currently playing a Chicago nightclub owned by tough guy Big Frank (Harold Stone). Big Frank orders Elvis and his boys to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where his daughter Valerie (Shelley Fabares) is enjoying Spring Break. Elvis’ assigned task is to keep an eye on Valerie, who of course takes a shine to the King. Gary Crosby, Joby Baker and Jimmy Hawkins appear as Elvis’ bandmates, with former Miss America of 1959 Mary Ann Mobley playing the “evil” role of Deena. Elvis belts out many a tune, including “Spring Fever,” “Wolf Call” and of course “Girl Happy.”

King Creole (Paramount, 1958)

Elvis stars as Danny Fisher in this fine adaptation of the Harold Robbins novel A Stone for Danny Fisher. Elvis plays a struggling singer raised in abject poverty who seeks his fortune in the jazz clubs of New Orleans, including the vaunted King Creole. Walter Matthau appears as gangster Maxie Fields with Carolyn Jones as Ronnie, Dolores Hart as Nellie and Vic Morrow as the vicious gang leader Shark. King Creole was filmed on location in New Orleans, where the production attracted huge crowds of spectators. The King belts out “Hard Headed Woman,” “Dixeland Rock,” “Love Doll” and several other high-spirited numbers.

Jailhouse Rock (MGM, 1957)

Elvis plays Vince Everett, a young man who is serving a prison sentence for manslaughter. While in the slammer, Elvis makes the acquaintance of country/western performer Hunk Houghton (Mickey Shaughnessy). Upon his release, Elvis pursues a career as a singer, achieves some success with the assistance of pretty Peggy Van Alden (Judy Tyler) and forms a record company with ex-cellmate Hunk. But fame has gone to Elvis’ head, with he and Hunk getting into a physical altercation that injures Elvis’ throat and jeopardizes his singing career. The highlight of the movie is the fantastic “Jailhouse Rock” production number, staged with all the energy and glamour of a modern day video. While sliding down a pole during filming, a cap from one of Elvis’ teeth was knocked loose, eventually lodging itself in a lung. A surgeon deftly removed the cap, with no permanent damage to the King’s singing voice. Dark-haired co-star Judy Tyler, 23, along with her husband Gregory LaFayette, were in a horrendous automobile accident three days after Jailhouse Rock wrapped up filming, with LaFayette dying in the crash and Tyler succumbing to her injuries the next morning on July 4, 1957. Elvis Presley was so upset by Tyler’s death that he couldn’t bear to watch the movie that they had made together.

Kid Galahad (United Artists, 1962)

Elvis stars as Walter Gulick in this remake of the 1937 film of the same name starring Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart. Elvis is a sparring partner at a training camp owned by gambler Willy Grogan (Gig Young), who begins grooming the King as a professional boxer in the hopes of paying off mobster Otto Dazing (David Lewis). When Walter falls in love with Willy’s sister Rose (Joan Blackman), Willy disapproves of the relationship and deliberately books a fight pitting Walter against a superior opponent. Lola Albright, Charles Bronson (as Elvis’ trainer Law Nyack) and Robert Emhart also appear. Kid Galahad was filmed in Idyllwild, California, with ex-light welterweight champion Mushy Callahan serving as Elvis’ boxing instructor.

Spinout (MGM, 1966)

Elvis plays Mike McCoy, a professional race car driver out to defend his title and woo the girls. Elvis also serves as (surprise) the front man for his own band, belting out such songs as “Beach Shack,” “Adam and Evil” and “I’ll Be Back.” Deborah Walleye plays Les, a drummer in E’s band while Shelley Fibers appears as Cynthia Fox Hugh, the daughter of an automobile magnate. “It’s Elvis With His Foot On The Gas And No Brakes On The Fun!!!” announced the promotional material.

Wild in the Country (20th Century Fox, 1961)

Elvis stars as Glenn Tyler, a rebellious young man who engages in a fight with his drunken brother. Now rejected by his father, Elvis is placed by the court under the supervision of his uncle. Assisting Elvis in his transition is court-appointed counselor Irene Sperry (Hope Lange), who encourages his writing skills. Wild in the Country, which also features Tuesday Weld and Millie Perkins, was originally slated as a dramatic film only. But Elvis later recorded six songs for the film, including “I Slipped, I Fell, I Stumbled,” “In My Way” and “Husky Dusky Day.” Elvis celebrated his 26th birthday on the set of Wild in the Country, netting a plaque from cast and crew that read “Happy Birthday, King Karate,” a reference to Elvis’ intense interest in martial arts.

Planning A Cruise To The Hawaiian Islands
Monday, October 31st, 2011 /

Hawaii is a popular vacation resort and it is easy to understand why.  Hawaii is made up of several small islands including Maui, Oahu and Lanai.  Traditional vacationers normally fly to the Hawaiian Islands.  However, a cruise to Hawaii would make a wonderful vacation.  If you are considering a trip to Hawaii, you may consider taking a cruise instead of flying.

 First, more than likely the majority of cruises depart from the west coast and continue on to their destination.  California is a likely place to board the cruise ship that is headed for the Hawaiian Islands.  If you live on the east coast, you will have to find transportation to the west coast. 

 Second, many cruise ships offer special travel packages especially for honeymooners and families.  Reservations of this nature should be booked at least 6-12 months in advance.  You are more likely to receive better rates if you book the trip well in advance.

 You should plan on being away from your home and work for at least three weeks if taking a cruise to Hawaii.  Hawaii is a long trip by air and by boat.  You need to set aside enough time to fully enjoy your cruise as well as taking care of any matters pertaining to your home and job.  

 Finally, you should do a search on the Internet in an attempt to get as much information as possible concerning travel and rate schedule for your destination.  In addition, it makes it much easier for a travel agent to secure your Hawaiian cruise plans.  The agent will be able to get current rates, as well as information concerning meals, rooms, and other amenities.

Monday, October 31st, 2011 /

The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami (Japan)

The 9,0 Richter scale earthquake and tsunami (東北地方太平洋沖地震, written the Western way:  Tōhoku Chihō Taiheiyō-oki Jishin, ’Tohuku region off-Pacific Ocean shore earthquake’) happened on the East coast of Japan, not far from Sendai int he Tohuku region on March 11th, 2011, at 1446hrs local time (0046hrs CDT). According to Japan Metorologic Institute this was the largest earthquake to happen is Japan ever. The quake was followed by a tsunami, with 10m(40ft) tall waves. The catastrophy already took several thousand official victims, but a lot more is feared to be dead. Mijagi prefekture has over 10 thousand people missing. The material damage is also very high, roads and railroads have been destroyed, fire broke out in several locations and dams have broken thru. In Northern Japan over 4,4million households were without electricity, and 1,4million without water. Many generators stopped and at least 2 nuclear power plants are known to be damaged seriously, which led to the evacuation of the nearby area.

The tsunami caused by the quake required alarms and evacuations in Japan and 20 other countries as well, including the Western coast of North and South America. The waves that hit Japan were 10m tall, smaller waves reached other countries as well. The tsunami caused serious damage even in Chile. Water went in as deep as 10kms(6miles) into mainland Japan at some places.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) data says that this was the largest quake ever in Japan, and the fourth biggest on Earth since measurements exist. Italian scientists guess the quake had a pivotal fault of 25cms(10in) according to press; Richard Gross, geophisicist of NASA (Jet Propulsion Labs) says the figure axis (not the same as above) has changed by 17cms(7in), which causes days to be 1,8 microseconds shorter on avarage. (In general every change in the Earth mass has effect on the movement of the Globe, but the vast majority of these cannot be measured.)

 

Epicenter, hipocenter and afterquakes

The epicenter was 125kms(80miles) off the Japanese coast, the hipocenter 24kms(15miles) deep. The 9,0 earthquake was followed by continous afterquakes, some were as strong as 5,8 and 7,4. The quake was only recognizable from Europe by instruments.

The forcast of the energy of the tsunami following the earthquake

After the quake a tsunami emerged, which was guessed to be 6m high, but was later corrected to 10m. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued several warnings for March 11th, among them for Japan (Mortheast part of Honsu island), but also warned all countries in the Pacific region. Tsunami alarm was raised in Chile, Russia, Mexico, Hawaii, Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, PapuaNew Guinea, Nauru and the North Mariana Islands. 11thousand people were evacuated from Russian Sahalin Islands, Hawaii also ordered the beach area to be evacuated.

The tsunami reached North America in 10 hours, first at Oregon, later the whole coastline, Mexico and the US, among others.

The caused the death of several thousand people, left a lot injured, over 10thousand are still missing. The capital of Japan, Tokyo only suffered one bigger fire, smoke emerged from a building. In and around town there is no electricity in 4million households. The tsunami swept away cars, ships, warehouses. In Fukusima, one building collapsed.

A refineryof the Cosmo Oil Company caught fire in Tsiba prefecture, Ichihara city, North of Tokyo. The nuclear power plants shut down automatically, there was an alarm raised int he Fukusima plant, because the cooling system shut down due to the quake.  The Onagawa plant was also on fire.

The railroads were damaged in several places, the super expresses were stopped. Narita airport by Tokyo was shut down, as well as the underground and other local railways.

On March 12th, 2011, at 1536hrs there was a major explosion in the Fukusima power plant reactor #1, and again in reactor #3 on March 14th.

The economic aftermath of the quake

In the Tokyo Stock Exchange the shares fell after the quake. Tohuku region gives 8% of the Japanese GDP, closure of the factories, power failures could have effect on the Japanese GDP for months.

The internetes media

Google launched a search site called Japan Person-Finder néven, that works two ways: one to upload names and information to identify the missing, the other can be used to find information about the missing.

Attractions and Activities in Bophut Beach, Thailand
Sunday, October 30th, 2011 /

Thailand is famous for its wonderful beaches, including Koh Mun Nork or Phatong Beach. Millions of travelers visit this multiple island-nation each year. When traveling to Ko Samui, Southern Thailand, you can relax at Bophut Beach which is between Maenam Beach and Big Buddha Beach.

 

There are two parts to Bophut Beach; one is a quaint looking Fisherman’s Village. This part of Bophut Beach is great for dining with a range of eateries and bars to choose from. However, it’s not actually a real fishing village and has old Chinese shop houses interspersed with some shops that sell fashionable jewelry and clothing. Visitors to Bophut Beach can go scuba diving or on day dives to either Ang Thong Marine Park, Koh Tao Island or Sail Rock. There are venues offering lessons and dive shops can be easily spotted in the area.

To the West of the village is an ideal spot for swimming but the beach is more famous for its water sports that can be enjoyed by visitors to these parts throughout the year from surfing, wind surfing, sea kayaking to yachting.

 

A tour centre named La Sirene offers tours to a secret location in the nearby island and even jeep rides. Two to three kilometers from Bophut VIllage you will find the Big Buddha statue which is a temple on a tiny island. Its towering Buddha statue is the reason for it being named thus and is well worth a visit when you are in Bophut Beach. Try Go Karting, in a place west of Bophut: the course is suited for experienced racers as well as beginners and they have instructors to teach you from scratch. You can even visit Canopy Adventures to see how monkeys help humans by plucking coconuts; an intriguing way to spend your time at the coast.

The presence of tattoo parlous may not be much but Thai tattooists specialize in infamous monk tattoos that claim to give the bearer of the tattoo magical powers. However finding a quality tattooist is the key.

 

There are many budget accommodation options in Bophut beach but if it is the best in comfort you are in need of then a luxury resort Koh Samui should be what you’re looking for; a place where you can sink into relaxation and convenience in its many spacious suites and villas each with a breathtaking view.

Ogunquit, Maine

Ogunquit, which means “beautiful place by the sea”, offers a picturesque location for a beach wedding. Discovered by artists over a century ago, it was transformed into the breathtaking town it is today. It offers everything from seaside relaxation to intimate museums, art galleries and hikes in the mountains of Maine. You can host your wedding along the one and a quarter mile stretch of beach known as Marginal Way. They also offer a clambake cocktail hour and a feast of famous Maine lobster for dinner.

Kapalua Bay Beach, Maui, Hawaii

Hawaii is probably well known as the best place to go to for beach weddings. However, nothing beats Kapalua Bay with its reputation as being the best. Situated between two lava points which shapes the shore into a perfect crescent, it is an ideal setting for your wedding. The beach is well known for its tranquil surf and even though there are many sunbathers during the day, in the evening, the beach is usually cleared giving you that romantic setting needed for the perfect ceremony.

Makena Cove, Maui

This is rapidly becoming a favorite spot for many couples. With black lava rock, white-sand beach, turquoise water and fantastic views of Molokini and Kaho’olawe, Makena cove offers a beautiful backdrop for a beach wedding. Perfect at anytime of the day, it’s a great location for wonderful pictures and memories. However, parking is limited so make plans ahead of time before the big day.

Navarre Beach, Florida

This is Florida’s best kept secret! Located between Pensacola Beach and Destin, Navarre is a stretch of breathing and unspoiled beaches. It is more secluded than other beaches in Florida and can give you the privacy and romantic setting you’re looking for. Dazzling white sands and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Santa Rosa Sound are your neighbors and don’t forget the great preservation areas that are excellent for hikes before or after the vows have been exchanged.

Vancouver Island – British Columbia

With so many wonderful beaches to choose from, it can be difficult selecting just one for your wedding. One such beach is Qualicum which spreads gently in front of a small pleasant town on the east side of the Island. There are numerable beachside pullouts and the air is filled with not just the tangy goodness of the salt from the sea, but the array of floral displays that makes it unique and special. If Qualicum is not your scene, you can always check out other beach sites like Spider Lake Provincial Park, Comox, Kye Bay, Seal Bay Regional Park, Campbell River, or one of the most popular beaches Long Beach. Whichever you decide, Vancouver offers a setting that is not only pleasing to the senses, but one that is sure to have you making a lot of memories that will last for a lifetime.
