Welcome to ‘Baywatch’! Talk about hot. Once hailed as the most popular show in the world, “Baywatch” has been revamped and updated with a shiny “R” rating and star billing. Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron make a splash in this beach movie as a duo who have to let go of their differences and solve a murder mystery. That’s right: murder at the beach. But don’t be fooled! This movie is full of raunchy humor, slapstick moments, and – of course – insanely hot people.
Sometimes you don’t want to think too hard. You just want to turn your brain off. Laugh at a dirty joke. Appreciate the shenanigans of a charismatic and incredibly attractive cast. If you’re one of those people, then “Baywatch” is for you.
Man’s World meets Diana, Princess of Themyscira. It’s been years in the making – and the wait is finally over. After her scene-stealing moment in “Batman versus Superman: Dawn of Justice,” Diana (Gal Gadot) is back with her first solo film. Growing up on the isolated island of Themyscira, Diana knows little about the outside world – or “Man’s World,” as the Amazons call it. The arrival of American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), who crashes onto her island, changes everything. He brings news of World War I and a world that desperately needs help. Diana, despite the warnings of her mother, is moved to stop the war. Leaving her home, she teams up with Steve and takes on the mantle of Wonder Woman.
The latest installment of DC’s Extended Universe, “Wonder Woman” offers all the heart-stopping fight scenes and special effects of its predecessors – and more. Early reviews have already praised the film as a standout in the superhero genre. Whether you’re a diehard fan or a curious spectator, you can’t go wrong with “Wonder Woman.”
