Here are some of the movies coming out this week.

Minions

“Minions” is a prequel to the “Despicable Me” series, set 42 years B.G. (Before Gru). It is explained that the minions’ sole purpose is to serve villains. Existing a long time before us, the minions have served notable masters, including T.Rex and Dracula. However, their ineptitude causes them to destroy all their masters and they decide to isolate themselves in Antarctica.

In the 1960s, due to the lack of a master, the minions fall into depression, which prompts Kevin the Minion and two others to set out on a journey to find a new master. Their journey takes them to New York, where they arrive at a villain convention, and compete for a right to be henchmen for Scarlett Overkill, an ambitious villain determined to dominate the world and become the first female super-villain. Starring: Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm and Michael Keaton.
