The new biopic 'Elvis' highlights the beginning and end of the career of this rock and roll legend. The audience is taken on this journey knowing the tragic ending but not so much about what led him there. A large topic of discussion is the influences on Elvis that made him who he was as a singer, musician, and performer, which were blues, gospel, and country. Many of the songs that rose him to fame were songs by Black artists he heard growing up in primarily Black settings.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is the most human movie of the year. It is based on the 2010 short of the same name that follows a big-hearted, little shell named Marcel as he navigates through life in a human-sized world. 

For a troubled teen, Will discovers what is important in life when he attends a summer camp: the people who care about his well being.

It is up to the community to decide if this film is a force for enlightenment or not.  

The human experience is described through the eyes of a marginalized outsider, neither judgmental nor invested, just an observant donkey.
