10 years of Flick Filosopher: holy icons and their desecration

At this holiest time of year, it’s worth remembering another icon of purity and goodness for many a soul. From my review of 3000 Miles to Graceland:

If there is anything good or -- as some people believe -- holy about the icon that Elvis Presley has become, then 3000 Miles to Graceland does not deceive in its title: this sadistic, ridiculously brutal movie is far, far removed from any ideal that the King of Rock 'n' Roll represents. If Elvis were dead, he'd be rolling in his grave, knowing that this, a new depth in filmmaking atrocity, was perpetuated in his name.
