What Did You Watch?

 I watched:
  Shazam! (4K disc) 2019 movie set in the DCEU.  Asher Angel stars as Billy Batson, a young orphan who, after being shown to be a liar and a thief, is gifted by a wizard (Djimon Hounsou) magical powers that transform him into the superhero Shazam (Zachary Levi).  In spite of being the same person, the two actors seemingly make no effort to even try to play the same character. 

Yep.

Anyway, when he's not goofing around making YouTube videos and otherwise exploiting his powers, Shazam must stop Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong AKA Sinestro) from unleashing the Seven Deadly Sins upon the world.  This one is generally pretty good.

I still have never bothered with the sequel - between them firing Michelle Borth between movies, and the sequel getting lousy reviews, I could never muster up the interest.
