Blue Hawaii

Amazon.com

Elvis Presley's seventh film was the first of his "Hawaii trilogy" (including Girls! Girls! Girls! and Paradise, Hawaiian Style). While its story is daft--the King has just been released from his Army posting in Italy and returned to the islands, where he's trying to avoid working in his father's fruit business--the music is not: "Blue Hawaii," "Almost Always True," and the beautiful "Can't Help Falling in Love." Angela Lansbury plays Elvis's mother, who can't seem to get through to him. Directed by the star's frequent collaborator, Norman Taurog (G.I. Blues). --Tom Keogh

Saw this at the neighborhood movie house, hows that for a.......2007-08-16

blast from the past? I was 10 and I thought how handsome Elvis was, and how blue the sky in Hawaii was. The Technicolor is terrific. Just like a Doris Day film. No real plot but you just can't beat Hawaii for sheer beauty. Pure fun, no calories. Enjoy!

Elvis In His Prime In Totally Enjoyable Hawaiian Romance.......2007-07-13

I most certainly am not going to refer to the 1961 Elvis Presley movie "Blue Hawaii", as a "guilty pleasure", it's a pleasure, pure and simple. To see Elvis Presley in his legendary prime in a romantic vehicle totally suited to his talents "Blue Hawaii", is one of the best films of his to try and catch. For a "60's child", like myself this film is a wonderful nostalgic excursion into times long gone by when I first saw this film as a youngster on a double bill with another Presley vehicle "Kid Galahad", at the local Theatre. I guess that's alot of the appeal of "Blue Hawaii", devoid as it is of any deep meanings or seriousness which nevertheless makes it an ideal way to spend some time. Combining some great songs handled with the usual smoothness and expertise by the "King", himself, a terrific supporting cast which includes a priceless performance by muli talented Angela Lansbury as Elvis' mother, and some of the most gorgeous Hawaiian scenery you could imagine, the film is entertaining as both a musical and as a travel log of Hawaii in all its natural beauty. Elvis made another enjoyable opus in Hawaii titled "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" in 1966 however I feel "Blue Hawaii", ties in closer with the Elvis Presley legend making it the one film of his to see if you want a quick snapshot of what made him such a special and much loved performer.

Movies, Movies, Movies.......2007-08-31

Paramount has a new box set out on Elvis and its called Lights! Camera! Elvis! Collection The movies you will receive is (Blue Hawaii/Easy Come, Easy Go/Fun in Acapulco/G.I. Blues/Girls! Girls! Girls!/King Creole/Roustabout/Paradise Hawaiian Style). There are 4 thin cases in the box with two DVD's of Elvis' movies. If you don't like the 2 movies in one case deal, then you can buy them individually. As a collector, I love to put my Elvis Movies in Chronological order. So this type of packaging kind of cramps my style. But at the same time this box set is a cool way to collect a good bit of Elvis movies at one time. The only thing that is negative I can say about this box set which has the same issues as the individual DVD's you can buy, is the Disc are the same artwork on the 2000 releases. The graphic and font on the disc don't match with the 2007 cases, but the cases are much better and it has a darker, colorful, and creative look to them. I would buy this Box set if they threw in a Bonus disc of cool documentaries or great movie performances. Another reason would be that I would love to have to this cool blue suede box set. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy my 2007 individual remastered Elvis movies from Paramount. The Artwork of Elvis is bigger and I can go back to putting them in Chronological order.

I actually got this for my mom, she LOVES it!!! Thanks for a great product!

NO improvement over previous editions...just packaging change.......2007-08-08

This is just a slimline repackage of movies already available by Paramount on DVD from the King , Elvis Presley. If you don't own them its a handy way to get them in one pop...but it could be a bit cheaper when you consider NON of these movies sells for more than $10 new in its own case etc...which Is why I am deducting a star. If you can pick it up at Costco for $44 its a much better deal. Nothing has been done to upgrade the quality of the movie presentations from previous editions.

fun / stupid movies with Elvis dancing and singing..and ONE GREAT MOVIE...perhaps his best..King Creole. Girls Girls Girls features the always worth watching Stella Stevens, and GI Blues has its moments. most of the rest are nice traveloges....from Mexico to Hawaii..

Not to be confused with the 2002 feature film of the same title, Blue Crush is billed as the original all-girl surfer's movie, and it's guaranteed to please devotees of the sport. It's a mixed blessing, however, because it assumes familiarity with the sport and its superstars, dispensing with any educational or historical detail that would appeal to neophytes. After all, how can this film be dedicated to Rell Sunn (the pioneer of female competitive surfing, who died in of breast cancer in 1998 at age 47) and fail to explore her illustrious career? This haphazard approach extends to profiles of the young women who regard Sunn as their hero; we learn little of their backgrounds and how they rose to prominence on the waves. Blue Crush works best as a globetrotting, music-video tour of surfdom's prime locations (Samoa, Hawaii, the Gold Coast, South Africa) hosted by the sport's most prominent competitors, including several (Rochelle Ballard, Megan Abubo, Sanoe Lake, Keala Kennelly, Kate Skarratt) who appeared in Universal's popular feature. It's a lot of fun, especially if you "hang ten" on a regular basis. --Jeff Shannon

Description

The original Blue Crush surf film by Bill Ballard has become one of the biggest selling surf titles of all time. Starring the talents of the same great female surfers featured in the Universal theatrical release and featuring an awesome soundtrack with Crystal Method, Dance Hall Crashers, Morcheeba, Da Da and others! Surfers include Rochelle Ballard (surfing double for lead actress Kate Bosworth in Universal's Blue Crush), Megan Abubo (stunt surfer for Michelle Rodrigues in Universal's Blue Crush), Sanoe Lake (played role of Lena in Universal's Blue Crush), Kealla Kennelly (played herself in Universal's Blue Crush), and Kate Skarratt (played herself in Universal's Blue Crush).

Lots of good footage, but the constant scene-switching is dizzying........2006-11-10

The documentary covered most of the top female surfers out there and some of the surfing spots around the world. There was a lot of good footage. Only thing I didn't like was the constant, blink-of-an-eye scene-switching during the action shots. It hurt my eyes...felt like I was going through some weird shock therapy at a mental institute :oP. Also, the interviews were a bit low and the background music for the action shots were high. So, I had to constantly adjust the volume.

Bust A Gut Or Few.......2005-04-15

The funny parts in this movie is
the outtakes in the end credits
where it is people can you actually
surf or is it clowing also in the
"Serena & Somoa" segment where
Keala Kennelly does the "I'm with
the dj" number also the take 2
section where they can't get not a
thing right especialy Rochelle Ballard
who tries to say push at one point push
but it turns in to eight letters instead
that can't be said on radio or tv without
problems.

Spelling error..........2003-02-13

Just wanted to say, its Keala Kennely... not Kennedy. Shame. Great movie however.
