Wednesday: The Fly (1958)
After being caught murdering her husband with a mechanical press Helene has to explain what happened. Her husband Andre was a scientist and an inventor. He was working on a teleportation machine. Andre started with simple things like dishes and newspapers. Then he started testing it with animals. Andre decided to use himself in the first human trail. It went terribly wrong. With the help of Helene he tries desperately to fix it. I thought this movie was alright. It is pretty cheesy.

Saturday: The Phantom of the Open (2021)
This is based on a true story. Maurice works in a shipyard. When he learns that there are going to be major layoffs he decides to find a new dream. He decides to be a professional golf player. With little to no training he enters into the British Open. Maurice plays the worst round in the Open history. He is banned from ever playing in an open again. After some time has passed he enters the open again but in disguise. He continues to do this over the years. He becomes a folk hero. I thought this movie was good. I like the actor who plays Maurice, Mark Rylance. He is such a cute old man.
