Review – The Wizard of Oz

Timeless classics of this sort are a little hard to review, especially inasmuch as I’m a little outside the picture’s traditional audience (kids and gay men living the stereotype). And yeah, some of the things that used to seem magical when I was younger now seem more than a little on the silly side. Further, I suppose I should resent this movie for giving the whole wide world the impression that Kansas is so boring that it’s actually in black and white. But despite all that, I still really like this story. It has a charming simplicity and innocence that’s hard not to love. And as villains go, there’s just no beating the Wicked Witch of the West. Oh, what I couldn’t accomplish if I had an army of flying monkeys! Worth seeing
