I watched “The Way” on Amazon Prime with Martin Sheen. Charming movie...that’s the best word for it. It’s a nice story. Good watch for a little escapism. If there was one downside it’s that I suspect there’s a little overt catholic propaganda in there (the film deals with a pilgrimage walk) but it’s not too bad. Martin Sheen loses his son (played by real life son Emilio Estevez) on the Camino de Santiago and decides to complete the walk when he goes to pick up his body. Some good characters in the film.

Re-watched Bill & Ted's Excellent adventure (1989), after watching the new release I wanted to revisit it.
Good 80's cheese, but more likeable characters, then the new version. Excellent sound track. Mostly holds up, except one scene were they hug and yell out something rather discriminatory by today's standards.

WonderWoman84 - don't bother.
I couldn't even get past the 1st act (about and hour in) then switch it off. Intro starts off weak, with a false accusation with some kinda message/lesson wrapped in there. Then further drops with lame action sequences (in the mall) with childish characters, and revealing a hooky plot. On top of this nonsense is some badly executed FX. Some of the worse green screen, I almost gagged when I saw the part of her running in the car action scene.

but...but...but...it has a message of Hope...according to Gal. Did you happen to see it??? What was it???
Even Marshall McLuhan would have trouble with it.
Been hearing bad things from people whose opinions I trust. Maybe I'll watch it when it hits a streaming service. Maybe. Two months?
2 months? You could pay to stream it on Amazon Friday morning. I had a good clean 8 gig RARBG copy by 2 Friday afternoon.

I'm talking about as part of the regular service, not at extra cost.
*sigh*
I have been so looking forward to this movie. I enjoyed the first one - except for the hokey super villain at the end.
This one was so disappointing. Tone was all over the place and the story was sad and the dialog was hokey. Villain in this one was... Monkey's Paw?!?
I looked up who did the story and screenplay for the first movie and it's a different team than WW84. People pan Zach Snyder all the time, but he's a way better writer than Patty Jenkins, who should stick to just directing. Snyder has a pretty focused vision for his movies and if you don't compare his vision of the DCEU to the MCU, it's a pretty good take on the comics.
