DVD Review: DONT LIKE THIS AT ALL
Summary: 1 Stars

O.K I BOUGHT THIS DVD DUE TO THE REVIEWS.. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BEHIND THE SEEN VIDEO BUT ITS JUST SONNY WEST TALKING TO AN AUDIANCE ABOUT ELVIS.. I'M SORRY BUT I DO NOT LIKE RED OR SONNY.. SONNY IS TALKING TO PEOPLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE ITS A TALK SHOW, THERE IS NO REAL PICTURES THAT WE HAVENT SEEN, I THINK SONNY IS RUNNING OUT OF MONEY AND COULDNT DECIDED WHAT TO DO SO HE DECIDED TO DO THIS.. THERE IS A SUBJECT THAT HE TALKS ABOUT WHEN THEY BOTH GO FIRED AND THATS WHY THEY WROTE THE BOOK ELVIS WHAT HAPPEN AND TO TRY AND GET HIM TO CHANGE, FIRST OF ALL IF THEY WERE REAL FRIENDS OF ELVIS REAL FRIENDS DONT DO THAT TO PEOPLE AND THEY WERE TOO LAZY TO FIND ANOTHER JOB INSTEAD OF RELYING ON ELVIS, I'M SORRY BUT PEOPLE GET FIRED FROM THERE JOBS EVERYDAY, WHAT MAKES THEM SO SPECIAL. JUST BECASUE THEY GREW UP TOGHTHER DOESNT MEAN YOU'LL HAVE A JOB WITH THAT PERSON FOREVER.. I'M GOING TO STOP HERE CAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE THAT WERE SUPPOSE TO BE FRIEND AND LOVED ELVIS THEY TURNED THERE BACK ON HIM INCLUDING HIS FAMILY.. I WOULD NOT BUY THIS DVD IF YOUR A REAL ELVIS FAN!!!

DVD Review: Re-hashed stories
Summary: 2 Stars

You can read most of these stories in "Elvis, What Happened?" That book was written 31 years ago and he is still telling the same stories. Not that I recommend that book, I don't, I don't believe but maybe half of what was in that book. The format is bad. They could have put in more pictures of Elvis while he was telling his stories or a 1 on 1 interview would have been better. Save you money on this one and buy one of Sonny's books, you'll get more info.

DVD Review: Sonny Did an Amazing Job!
Summary: 5 Stars

I really enjoyed this DVD and hearing all of the stories about Elvis. Some of them really made me laugh and others brought tears to my eye. I felt like I got an inside look into what it was like to have Elvis in your life, and I wish I could've had a chance to meet him and tell him how much I love him. There will never be anyone like Elvis, but it's nice to have a DVD like this one that is full of stories and insights into what it was like to have him as part of your life. I would also recommend Sonny's book.

Description of Elvis: Up Close and Personal With Sonny West

For nearly twenty years, Elvis Presley shared his homes and his life with his personal bodyguard and friend, Sonny West. Now in Elvis: Up Close And Personal in front of a theater audience, Sonny shares many of his intimate experiences & private thoughts about Elvis. Some of these stories have been shared previously with only his closest friends and many of his personal photographs of Elvis have never been seen by the public. In a revealing question and answer session with audience members, Sonny candidly answers questions about his beloved friend. Sonny West is a lively and engaging storyteller. Get to know Elvis, as you ve never known him before! The stories are often funny, sometimes touching and always illuminating, of the man who was much, much more than a myth: Elvis Presley.
