My Thoughts:

Short as it may be, a little over an hour (ignoring the credits) it is my favorite portrayal of Wonder Woman. Though I liked the 70s series, I didn't like how she seemed so ignorant to the outside world when she first arrived, and they never dived into that in the Justice Leagure cartoons. Here she is a strong warrior who simply wants peace and to bring the two worlds together, the way it should be.

It has a fair amount of humor, and really is excellently done when it comes to accuracy on Greek myths. They really picked up on everything.

Bicycle Thieves, a review by Jon

Bicycle Thieves (1948)
5 out of 5



Hailed around the world as one of the greatest movies ever made, Vittorio De Sica's Academy Award-winning Bicycle Thieves defined an era in cinema. In postwar, poverty-stricken Rome, a man hoping to support his desperate family with a new job loses his bicycle, his main means of transportation for work. With his wide-eyed young son in tow, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and dazzlingly rich in human insight, Bicycle Thieves embodied all the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity, social righteousness, and brutal honesty.

I just finished watching this set. It felt good to watch some episodes I never seen before... and I enjoyed every minute of it. I watched the entire season in only 3 days. And now I sit here wishing I had season 7 to watch! I think I would have to say my favorite episode of the season would have to be between Private Lives which guest starred Laura Preppon from That '70s Show and Black Hole. Though the season finale was fantastic as well.
