	X-Entertainment: THE WIZARD Movie Review!
		In the movie's skewered take on society, pretty much everyone in the damn world played the thing.
		Of the many kids who saw the movie in that 14 million dollar bracket, I'd say all the promotion was worth far more to Nintendo than the ticket revenue.
		A big chunk of The Wizard is taken up by extended travel montages, with the kids hitching rides on big rigs and cow transports from city to city and from background song to background song.

	The Wizard of Oz (1939) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The reason this movie remains the most beloved of Hollywood films even after six decades is because 'The Wizard of Oz' is unique among motion pictures in that it mirrors our longings and imaginations as children.
		All of these elements make 'The Wizard of Oz' a much bigger legend than it already it, but that's okay because this is the one movie that deserves to be over-hyped.
		Her aunt and uncle love her but this was a movie made during the depression and we imagine the climate that they live in, where work means keeping the farm.

		In the movie, it sounds as though her name was a double first name, Dorothy Gayle, but then, later in the film, the aunt and uncle are referred to as Mr.
		I thought they named it for me. I have twin nieces, and when we at a showing of the Wizard this summer {my first time watching on the big screen}, they asked if that was me. Of course, I said it was.
		Actually, the BandW part of the movie was supposed to have some shimmery effect, but that got messed up somehow and is just BandW now.

	The Tech - Volume 118, Issue 58
		Well, here's a case to the contrary: The Wizard of Oz, the classic 1939 musical based on the L. Frank Baum novel (first in a long series), is a brightly-colored, visually bold, rapidly paced extravaganza, full of gaudy sets, outlandish costumes, and way-over-the-top acting.
		To get back, she needs to reach the mysterious Wizard of Oz, and on her way to his Emerald City Dorothy is assisted by a trio of local misfits: Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman, and Cowardly Lion.
		To tell the truth, it is hard to expect style and coherence from a committee-made movie - and Wizard had a grand total of five directors and sixteen screenwriters (thirteen of whom are uncredited).

	The Wizard Movie -The 80s Rewind «
		The Wizard was FINALLY, after years of petitioning, released on DVD in the United States in 2006.
		Previous to the 2006 DVD release, the movie was only available in full screen format in Germany under a different name, "Joy Stick Heroes", and without the original English soundtrack.
		Having seen the movie 62 times the biggest mistake I noticed is when they're driving through Reno in the back of the pick-up, there is a clock visible in the background that keeps changing times, from 12:07 I believe to 11:42 and then back 12:08.

	Laramie Movie Scope: The Wizard of Oz
		You can't have a good movie without a good villain and Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch of the West) will always be the witch by which other witches will be measured.
		The new tape and DVD are clear and sharp and the colors of the film are back to their original depth and vividness.
		Not everything is sweetness and light, there's the wicked witch, and a cowardly wizard who hides behind a curtain, rather than trying to help anyone.

	The Wizard of Mars - The Bad Movie Report
		Wizard's Clever Idea is that the shipwrecked crew can use the thin Martian atmosphere to supplement their oxygen supply - Oxygen Helper, as it were.
		Past the spaceship and city sets, the movie takes place almost completely outdoors, with various rocky and desert climes standing in for Mars, and often quite well, but it's there that we run into trouble.
		But in a time where every movie that claims to be science fiction turns out to actually be another horror movie or action film that just happens to take place in space, The Wizard of Mars may just have a message or two; mainly that science fiction is possible without huge explosions,

		In real life, these were dwarfs and midgets and yet their roles in the movie are important and necessary without being degradingly cute or patronizing.
		This movie, made in that golden year 1939, is a timeless classic and whether you are 5 or 500, it's a movie to enjoy for all time.
		Comment: There are no words to describe this movie, Judy Garland was born to play Dorothy and sing 'rainbow' in this spectacular movie, it is wonderfully magical and the fl/white-technicolour is genius and this is a thoroughly enjoyable movie.

	Interpretations of the 1939 Movie - The Wizard of Oz - Turn Me On, Dead Man (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The movie's message, "There's no place like home", is not emphasized as strongly in Baum's original book, but reflects the isolationism of the time.
		Carpenter suggests that the politics in Oz are simple: democracy as represented by the Good Witch of the North and the Wizard of Oz, and totalitarianism represented by the Wicked Witch of the East and Wicked Witch of the West.
		Francis MacDonell argues that the movie is an allegory of New Deal, Franklin D. Roosevelt's program of social welfare to combat the widespread hardship of the Great Depression in the 1930s.

	The Wizard of Oz Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Then too, Judy Garland's endearing performance as wide-eyed Dorothy seems to grow more poignant with each passing year, enhanced by the affection we feel for her as one of too many stars whose imperfect lives were cut short.
		Now it's so much a part of American pop-culture that the carpet at the Smithsonian in front of Dorothy's ruby slippers has to be replaced more often than any other exhibit, and "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore" has become a popular expression to describe great change.
		Just as important, The Wizard of Oz has never looked better, with the restoration mostly a stripping away of dirt and imperfections to allow the original film elements to shine.

	Welcome to the X-Entertainment Blog
		I refer to this movie as "Rain Man Jr." since it seemed to be influenced by it.
		You know, this movie is alot like so many others in the respect that every single actor has a movie that they regret being a part of, regardless of how much of a good idea it may have appeared to be in the beginning.
		I can remember when the movie where she played a teenage heroin addict prostitute that had Yasimene Bleeth in it (Talk To Me) and another I saw on lifetime both came out as made for TV movies in 1996, after I graduated High School (Same Year as her, I believe).

	Ursula K. Le Guin on the TV Earthsea. - By Ursula K. Le Guin - Slate Magazine
		The books, A Wizard of Earthsea and The Tombs of Atuan, which were published more than 30 years ago, are about two young people finding out what their power, their freedom, and their responsibilities are.
		All they intended was to use the name Earthsea, and some of the scenes from the books, in a generic McMagic movie with a meaningless plot based on sex and violence.
		The first British Wizard was this pallid, droopy, lily-like guy—I screamed at sight of him.

	The Wizard of Oz - Movie Rental Review
		Dorothy, who in the first part of the movie runs away from home to try to solve her problems, spends the rest of the movie trying to get back.
		It is also worth talking about the scene in which Dorothy and her friends disregard the Wizard's plea to "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" and discover that he is really just an ordinary man. This can be a touchstone or metaphor for many kinds of challenges children face.
		At the Emerald City, the Wizard at first refuses to see them, then finally tells them they must earn their wishes by bringing him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West.

		Much like the battered young wizards on screen, who are constantly being whirled about by baddies, pirates will be "hauled out of their seats and reported straight away to the police".

		Halfway around the planet, in Raleigh, North Carolina, Matthew Bass was scouring the Net for fresh news about the three movies that Jackson was concurrently shooting, the first of which, The Fellowship of the Ring, will premiere on December 19.
		The Post's suggestion that the wizard was the famous Gandalf was rejected by fans, who decided that the most likely candidate was the corrupt wizard Saruman, played by Christopher Lee in the film.
		At least Lee's famous Dracula movies explained the spike through the chest - precisely the sort of corny in-joke that Jackson, the director of a number of funny horror movies, would make.

		To kids bred on a diet of Harry Potter and Spiderman, this movie might seem some what odd, but it still is a movie to be seen with your kids and family.
		Its of course MGMâs 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz As far as fantasy musicals go, this movie is a masterpiece and touchstone, and if you are seeking to drive your blues away, and just relax, watch this movie preferably with your kids.
		Even if we overlook all the symbolisms, the movie more than makes it up with some top notch special effects, which for a movie shot in 1939, are top class.

		However, when I first submitted to my daughter the proposition of seeing The Wizard of Oz on the big screen on opening night, her first reaction was surprising.
		She did not want to go see what was perhaps her favorite movie due to her fear of one particular character, the Wicked Witch of the West (played by Margaret Hamilton).
		I had not seen this movie in its entirety in a long time and was quite pleased to do so.
