Review: Elvis, Mr. Malcolm’s List, and Minions: The Rise of Gru
Baz Lurhman’s Elvis is as bloated as the King himself at times. Mr. Malcolm’s List does it’s best to draw from the greats, but doesn’t necessarily achieve greatness itself.

Downton Abbey: A New Era, Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers, The Valet
