“Wonder Woman” continues this week! After making an appearance in last year's “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “Wonder Woman” now gets her own feature film.

American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes offshore of the island of Themyscira during World War I, where he meets Diana, princess of the Amazons, who has been trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on the sheltered island paradise, Diana learns of the massive war effort raging in the outside world. Convinced that she can stop the threat, Diana leaves her home for the first time
to fight alongside men in a war to end all wars.

Reviewing for Newsday, Rafer Guzman writes: “‘Wonder Woman’ isn't just a triumph for women, it's a triumph, period. This is grand entertainment with rousing action, sparkling humor, a romantic streak and a titanium-strength debut from Gal Gadot in the title role.”

“Wonder Woman” plays evenings at 7 p.m. now through Thursday, June 22 with an additional 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday. June 18.

Exhibition on Screen: “Michelangelo: Love and Death” - The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this renaissance genius? Who was this ambitious and passionate man? A virtuoso craftsman, Michelangelo’s artistry is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the deeply moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling still leave us breathless today. Spanning his 89 years, Michelangelo – Love and Death takes a cinematic journey from the print and drawing rooms of Europe, through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to explore the tempestuous life of Michelangelo. We go in search of a greater understanding of this most charismatic figure, his relationship with his contemporaries and his valuable artistic legacy. Through expert commentary and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at an enigmatic man whose life is celebrated in every mark and every stroke he made. ((1 hour, 31 minutes) Playing Thursday, June 15 at 2 and 7 p.m.

Sensing Eshel’s vulnerability, Norman reaches out with a gift of a very expensive pair of shoes, a gesture that deeply touches Eshel. When Eshel become Prime Minister three years later, he remembers. With his very real connection to the leader of a major nation, Norman attempts to leverage his biggest deals ever.
