L. Bell(noreply@blogger.com)
I’ll quote from the perceptive review (i.e., I agree with its points) from The Graphic Classroom: Shanower took care in this adaptation by giving us details that have – for most people anyway – been lost because of the celluloid translation. In fact, so many details were left out of the movie t...

This contemporary fantasy starts just outside Kansas, strictly speaking—in a patch of magically-made land between that state and Nebraska. But the Oz allusions are inescapable:swirling wind storms that send Mibs Beaumont, her brothers, and their neighbors on their journey of disco...

I know this isn’t news for anyone by now, but I wanted to post a small tribute to Michael Jackson in honor of his passing today. I won’t go into all of the hits he’s had or his iconic music videos. By now we’ve either read about them or have seen and heard them. Since this is a movie-themed blog I thoug...

I like when Dorothy met the Scarecrow and he woke up and winked at her and started talking. It was funny that the Scarecrow said that he doesn’t have a brain and wants to find the wizard with Dorothy and maybe he’ll get a brain. And the Scarecrow says because he is made of straw he doesn’t get hurt a...

Last fall I met Evan I. Schwartz, whose book Finding Oz: How L. Frank Baum Discovered the Great American Story has just been published. Schwartz had been researching the historical context which inspired Baum. He's shared some of that on his website for the book.

The Wizard Of Oz. I've watched the film hundreds of times since I was a little girl, and saw the digitally remastered version at the BFI a couple of years ago, I played the Scarecrow in my high school production and have seen at least four other amateur productions, including one of The Wiz. I'v...
