| Viva Las Vegas - 1964 | |
 | Okay, so it's not technically a movie about gambling. It is all about the oeuvre of Las Vegas, and it's chock full of casinos and dazzling showgirl showrooms! In the most successful of his many cheesy movies, Elvis is Lucky Jackson, a racer who's breezed into town to take his chances in the Grand Prix. The real deal: It's all a thinly plotted excuse to put E in a fast car, in a fast town, with a fast lady: gorgeous and feisty swim instructor Rusty (Ann-Margret, who was gettin' lucky with Elvis off-screen during production). And we can't forget the dance sequences and fast tunes, including the hip-swinging couple's duet on "The Lady Loves Me" (the one where Elvis ends up in the pool), "What'd I Say" (the one with E and A-M in their matching yellow outfits) and, of course, "Viva Las Vegas," the unofficial song of Sin City. The jackpot scene: The big race, which takes the drivers right down the middle of the brightly lit Strip and around the Hoover Dam. Do Elvis and his hunka hunka speeding metal finish the contest victorious? Duh. |
| Luck of the Draw - 2001 | |
 | An all-star cast of edgy men anchors LUCK OF THE DRAW, a thrilling crime drama which explores the seedy world of gambling and mobsters. Award-winning actor Dennis Hopper (APOCALYPSE NOW, EASY RIDER) is a mob boss who is determined to find the ex cons responsible for stealing counterfeit money. Though one of these former criminals, Jack Sweeney (James Marshall of TV's TWIN PEAKS,) is attempting to go straight, his unshakeable lust for money and excitement leaves him wrapped up in a web of crime and violence. Eric Roberts, Michael Madsen, Ice-T, and William Forsyth all turn in strong supporting performances. |
