Chicago – For a film that has free love, lie detection, bondage, the origin of a great comic superhero and 3-way carnality, “Professor Marston & the Wonder Women” still comes out rather flat… quite a achievement. Wonder Woman is the comic hero, and this is the rest of her story.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
The film is sincere in its effort to explain one of the more unusual creators of an enduring comic book character, one who applied his lifestyle to the characteristics of Wonder Woman. William Moulton Marston was a man who at his core wanted to create a hero of peace and love, with the additional traits of her built in as a result of his own careful research. The performances are good and worth noting, but the story – written and directed by Angela Robinson – gets stuck in the man-ahead-of-his-time rut, with the forces of censorship bringing the Wonder of the Woman down faster than any villain.

What Is It: Goop’s first-ever wellness summit, “In Goop Health,” hosted by the Goop queen herself, Gwyneth Paltrow
Who Tried It: Gabrielle Olya, People writer and reporter
I was very excited to score a press pass to Paltrow’s inaugural all-day wellness event, as tickets had sold out almost immediately (though to be honest, I would not have been able to justify spending $500 to $1,500 on a one-day event even if they had not sold out). So on Saturday I happily headed to 3Labs in Culver City, California, which had been transformed into a Goop-lovers’ dream for the summit.
