'Elvis,' With Tom Hanks As Col. Tom Parker, Is Powerful Retelling of 'The King's' Career

Elvis movie, Facebook

Alice Reese, Herald-Bannermovie critic, says "Elvis," starring Australian Austin Butler as Presley and Tom Hanks as Elvis' manager Col. Tom Parker, is an engaging biopic of Elvis' career from Tupelo, Mississippi, to Las Vegas.

Alice says "Jurassic World Dominion," the latest in the series of movies based on "Jurassic World," is entertaining but the franchise is becoming rather frayed. Only 30 percent of critics on Rotten Tomatoes give the movie positive reviews, but 78 percent of movie goers like it.
