Reinventing Elvis: The ’68 Comeback (Paramount+)

If you were among the viewers over 50 who made 2022’s Elvis a $288 million hit, you’ll love the real thing: a documentary about the Dec. 3, 1968, televised concert that jolted Presley’s moribund career back to life. He rocked a black leather outfit, and almost half of people with TVs watched in astonishment. Elvis died on Aug. 16, 1977, but this show will live forever.

If you so choose, the following applies:u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eYou agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting Ancestry customer service.  If any dispute between us is not resolved within 30 days after contacting us, then you and Ancestry agree that we will resolve it through final and binding arbitration.  The term “dispute” is intended to be as broad as legally permissible and includes, but is not limited to, all disputes between you and any other person on whose behalf you have interacted with Ancestry, on the one hand, and Ancestry, including any of its parents, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, assigns, or affiliates, on the other, that arise out of or relate in any way to the Terms, this arbitration agreement, or your interactions or relationship with Ancestry, with the following three exceptions:u003c/pu003eu003colu003eu003cliu003eYou and Ancestry shall each have the option to resolve any dispute, if it qualifies, in the small claims court with jurisdiction over your place of residence.  To the extent any dispute involves claims for both (1) monetary damages or relief and (2) equitable or injunctive relief, to the extent the small claims court with jurisdiction will not resolve claims for equitable or injunctive relief, you and Ancestry shall each have the option to resolve the claims for monetary relief or damages in small claims court, and any claim for equitable or injunctive relief shall be resolved in arbitration pursuant to this agreement.    u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eBoth you and Ancestry may bring a suit in court in the state of Utah only for a claim of infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. In this case, we both waive any right to a jury trial.u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eIf it qualifies, you may bring a claim to the attention of a relevant federal, state, or local agency that may seek relief against us on your behalf.u003c/liu003eu003c/olu003eu003cpu003eu003cbu003eArbitration Rules:u003c/bu003e This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.).  Arbitration will be conducted by AAA in accordance with the then-applicable AAA rules, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Where no disclosed claims or counterclaims exceed $25,000, the dispute shall be resolved by the submission of documents only/desk arbitration pursuant to AAA Consumer Arbitration Rule 29 (or the then-applicable AAA Consumer Arbitration Rule governing documents-only arbitration procedures).  Either party may file dispositive motions in arbitration, including without limitation a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment, and the arbitrator will apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.  The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, the Terms, or the u003ca hrefu003d”https://www.ancestry.com/cs/legal/privacystatement”u003eAncestry Privacy Statementu003c/au003e, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement, the Terms or Privacy Statement is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.u003cbr /u003eu003c/pu003eu003cpu003eTo initiate an arbitration proceeding through AAA, you must send a certified letter describing your claim and requesting arbitration to Ancestry Legal Department, Ancestry.com Operations Inc., 1300 W Traverse Parkway, Lehi, UT 84043. You must also send a copy of this demand to the AAA at the same time the demand is sent to Ancestry and follow all required procedures under the then-applicable AAA rule governing starting an arbitration under an arbitration agreement in a contract.  The arbitration will be conducted by AAA under its u003ca hrefu003d”https://www.adr.org/Rules”u003erulesu003c/au003e, as modified by the Terms (collectively, u0026quot;AAA Rulesu0026quot;).

Each party will have ten (10) calendar days to strike all names on the list it deems unacceptable. If only one common name remains on the lists of all parties, that individual will be designated as the arbitrator. If more than one common name remains on the lists of all parties, the parties will strike names alternately from the list of common names by telephone conference administered by AAA, with the claimant to strike first until only one remains. If no common name remains on the lists of all parties, AAA will furnish an additional list of nine (9) arbitrators from which the parties will strike alternately by telephone conference administered by AAA, with the claimant to strike first, until only one name remains. That person will be designated as the arbitrator. If the individual selected cannot serve, AAA will issue another list of nine (9) arbitrators and repeat the alternate striking selection process.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eArbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. You and Ancestry further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Francisco County, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eu003cbu003eFees: u003c/bu003eYou will be required to pay $200—or the amount otherwise required under the then-applicable AAA rules—to initiate an arbitration against us. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Ancestry will pay all other fees invoiced by AAA, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses.

Painkiller (Netflix)

If you liked the Michael Keaton drama Dopesick, you’ll love this limited series about the birth of the opioid crisis, as told through the lens of Purdue Pharma, the makers of OxyContin. Matthew Broderick, 61, plays Richard Sackler, 78, the billionaire chairman and president of Purdue Pharma, with Orange Is the New Black Emmy Award winner Uzo Aduba returning to the streamer as an investigator taking on Big Pharma. The series is directed by Peter Berg, 59, who’s best known for his work on the film and TV show Friday Night Lights.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jules, PG-13

Even with a tatty wig, Sir Ben Kingsley, 79, can lend dignity to a fusty character that recalls Being There’s Peter Sellers. Suburban widower Jules’ routines are all-consuming: addressing weekly complaints to the town council about a dangerous intersection, watching his TV programs, making ham sandwiches. His daughter (Zoe Winters) worries that he’s descending into dementia when — wham, bang — a metal disk crashes into his azaleas. A mute, adolescent-sized alien, dehydrated and hungry, emerges from the wreckage. The interplay between extraterrestrial and human inspires Jules’ gradual reawakening to life. When two nosy council-meeting regulars (Harriet Sansom Harris, 68, and SNL alum Jane Curtin, 75) discover their neighbor’s secret and want in, their growing friendships manifest the power to melt loneliness at any age. Curtin’s throaty rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” is one of the movie’s highlights in a compassionate character study that accomplishes what few current films do: a sweet, simple sense of wonder. —T.M.A.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shortcomings, R

Snarky Berkeley art house theater manager and aspiring filmmaker Ben (Justin H. Min) struggles to be more than a supporting player in his own life. The opinionated Japanese American movie lover gets his comeuppance — and reluctantly learns his many shortcomings — from the three women closest to him. His underappreciated girlfriend Miko (Ally Maki), gay grad student best friend (breakout Sherry Cola) and rebound relationship Sasha (Debby Ryan) all ultimately demonstrate to Ben that his problems aren’t in his relationships with women. Instead, they’re a function of his own negativity, lack of self-awareness and narrow-minded hipness. As a successful romantic rival who appreciates Miko in a way Ben never has, Veep’s Timothy Simons delights. Ben learns the hard way that he has a lot of growing up yet to do in this quirky, breezy and occasionally biting Asian American rom-com. —T.M.A.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Compassionate Spy, Unrated

If you cracked Wikipedia after viewing Oppenheimer, we have a documentary for you. It’s about the youngest scientist recruited to the Manhattan Project, Theodore Hall, 18. The Jewish teenager became convinced, according to A Compassionate Spy, that if America had the atomic bomb, the Russians should have the science, too. While a project employee, the physicist passed detailed nuclear secrets to the Soviets. Though his goal was mutual assured destruction (to prevent war), earning him the adjective “compassionate,” his actions raise comparisons to convicted spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The meticulous, intimate documentary registers as a footnote to Oppenheimer, but with its more modest ambitions, it achieves greater clarity about the fraught political history surrounding the atom bomb’s creation. (Also, don’t miss the 1981 Oppenheimer documentary The Day After Trinity on the Criterion Channel.) —T.M.A.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (Amazon Original)

Sigourney Weaver, 73, stars as a strong-willed flower farmer who takes in her young granddaughter, Alice, after a mysterious fire kills her parents. The seven-part miniseries, based on a best-selling novel and streaming in weekly installments on Prime’s ad-supported Freevee service, follows Alice into young adulthood as she begins to question her past and her connection to the natural world.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Theater Camp, PG-13

Broadway’s Ben Platt, fresh off a Tony nom for Best Musical Revival Parade, leads this nutty, nostalgic romp. It’s set at the fictional, but all too familiar, AndirondACTS, an upstate New York summer camp like a shabbier Stagedoor Manor. Here, the show must go on despite mosquitoes, runaway hormones and past-due bills. Joining Platt’s hilariously frustrated actor are two cast favorites from TV’s The Bear: Molly Gordon (who also codirected) and Ayo Edebiri, who embrace broad comedic parts that couldn’t be further from their roles in that buzzy Chicago pressure cooker. When the bank threatens foreclosure, the counselors and campers follow in the tap shoes of young Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney, trying to save their beloved summer home away from home by antically staging an offbeat musical masterpiece. For theater nerds, and the ambitious young thespians they foster, this Sundance gem is likely to be the summer’s funniest feel-good film. —T.M.A.

⭐⭐⭐ Haunted Mansion, PG-13

Haunted Mansion is a big, plastic theme park ride of packaged fun. It’s funny-scary, not scary-scary, when single mom Gabbie (Rosario Dawson) and her lonely son Travis (Chase Dillon) move to a remote Louisiana mansion that even the Addams Family would have rejected. Never purchase a home online sight unseen! The pair quickly discovers otherworldly squatters that won’t begone, or let the small family leave. In desperation, they recruit a gaggle of paranormal-pest exterminators, including tortured love interest LaKeith Stanfield, mediums Tiffany Haddish and Jamie Lee Curtis, 64, heart patient Danny DeVito, 78, and opportunistic Owen Wilson, 54. Jared Leto, 51, manifests as the house’s malicious ghost in chief. It’s all silly screams and high spirits as the disparate strangers coalesce to form a chosen family in adversity, with cheery bromides and a ghoulish climax at the adjacent cemetery for a big bone-voyage. Whee! —T.M.A.
