The latest trailer for Marvel's Wonder Man looks hilarious. They are definitely poking fun at the fact that they've already made 37 superhero movies, so of course they're going to make another one.


Here's the official synopsis from Marvel

Aspiring Hollywood actor Simon Williams is struggling to get his career off the ground. During a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery, an actor whose biggest roles may be well behind him, Simon learns legendary director Von Kovak is remaking the superhero film “Wonder Man”. These two actors at opposite ends of their careers doggedly pursue life-changing roles in this film as audiences get a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry.

Figment's Brush with the Masters scavenger hunt is always a fun part of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. I especially like this classic portrait titled "At The Heart Of All Creation".

Disneyland Handcrafted

Have you ever wondered about all that went into the building of Disneyland? Most fans have likely watched the special Walt had made back in 1955 about the park, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. It turns out, they had filmed a lot of the work that went into creating the Happiest Place on Earth. And now, Leslie Iwerks (who has quite the family history with Disney) has brought it all together for a new special: Disneyland Handcrafted. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Disneyland Handcrafted.


Here's the official synopsis from Disney

The magic of Walt Disney’s dream unfolds when Disneyland Handcrafted, a feature documentary from Leslie Iwerks, takes viewers on an unforgettable journey through the exhilarating year that gave rise to The Happiest Place on Earth. 

Disneyland Handcrafted reveals the extraordinary artistry and grit it took hundreds of craftspeople to bring Walt Disney’s impossible dream project of Disneyland to fruition – from groundbreaking to Opening Day on July 17, 1955.

The documentary captures both the legacy and nostalgia of the year leading up to the creation of the Disneyland Resort. Through newly unearthed materials from the Walt Disney Archives, Iwerks and her team uncovered long-forgotten 16mm film reels and audio recordings. The result is an unpolished, fly-on-the-wall perspective that captures what was truly happening behind the scenes, told through the firsthand accounts of the artists, craftsmen, and Imagineers who were there.

Since opening over 70 years ago, Disneyland laid the groundwork for a massive global industry that is currently in the biggest era of growth, making this film a truly special treat for Disney fans.

Seven Dials

I love Agatha Christie's mysteries. I read them often when I was a teen and always enjoyed the various Masterpiece Mystery series on PBS. In the last several years, there have been several new adaptations of Agatha Christie's tales of murder and mayhem. The latest is Seven Dials.


Here's the official synopsis from Netflix

In this timeless mystery by the Queen of Crime, a fearless young aristocrat investigates the murder of her love interest in her family home. 

England. 1925. At a lavish country house party, a practical joke appears to have gone horribly, murderously wrong. It will be up to the unlikeliest of sleuths — the fizzingly inquisitive Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent (Bruce) — to unravel a chilling plot that will change her life, cracking wide open the country house mystery.

Across 3 episodes, expect the unexpected as well as twists and turns as Bundle races to find the killer - time is running out.
