There is brilliant camerawork, using color to focus on the important elements with gorgeous artistry. The soundtrack builds in all the right places, and the scenery is a lush backdrop. But the story is the real draw.
The snarky banter, epic fights, and romance make this one of my two favorites. I would love to borrow the invisibility charm although I would veto the whole reanimating the dead to fight your battles. The amazing fairy tale ending is sure to cure some of your blues.
Speaking of bringing back the dead, Warm Bodies is my other favorite. Zombie meets girl. Zombie falls for girl. And the rest is a love story complete with a Romeo and Juliet balcony scene without the whole double suicide ending.

Evan Peters shocked with his WandaVision cameo last week, seemingly reprising his role as Quicksilver from Fox's X-Men movies. This week's WandaVision episode, "All-New Halloween Spooktacular!," continued to raise questions about who this "Pietro" really is and what he wants with Wanda and her family. Fortunately, in-between the cryptic moments where Wanda and her supposed brother interrogated one another in the hopes of uncovering some darker truth, the show included a subtle but funny nod to Peters' connection to the Kick-Ass franchise.
Created by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., the Kick-Ass comic books made the jump to the big screen in 2010, with Matthew Vaughn directing. The first Kick-Ass film starred Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Dave Lizewski, a superhero comic book enthusiast who decides to become a real-life costumed vigilante known as Kick-Ass. Peters costarred in the movie as Dave's pal Todd Haynes, with Nicolas Cage and Chlo Grace Moretz playing Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, a father-daughter crime-fighting duo who take Dave under their wing and, in doing so, pull him into their greater quest for revenge against a vile crime boss (Mark Strong).
While Peters might be better known for his X-Men role nowadays, WandaVision still took the time to shout-out his Kick-Ass past this week. In the scene in question, "Pietro" offers to help Wanda's twin sons Billy and Tommy "maximize your candy acquisition" while trick-or-treating on Halloween night. "Yeah, kickass!" an enthusiastic Tommy replies, before the pair use their super-speed to takeoff with Billy in tow. "Kickass" Wanda says aloud to herself afterwards, as though the word reminds her of something she can't quite place her finger on. No doubt, viewers who had forgotten Peters was even in the Kick-Ass films were in the same boat.
Of course, this Kick-Ass reference works on multiple levels. After co-starring in the first Kick-Ass film, Peters would go on to make his debut as the X-Men movies' Quicksilver in 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past. Similarly, that same year, Taylor-Johnson played the superhero for the first time in the post-credits scene for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, briefly appearing alongside Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda. Taylor-Johnson and Olsen would then go on to reprise their Marvel Cinematic Universe roles in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, before Taylor-Johnson's Pietro met his tragic fate in the film's climactic battle.
Prior to joining the MCU, Taylor-Johnson reprised his role as Dave Lizewski for 2013's Kick-Ass 2, with Moretz likewise returning as Hit-Girl and Jeff Wadlow taking over from Vaughn as director. However, because Peters was unable to come back for the sequel due to scheduling conflicts with American Horror Story, Augustus Prew took his spot as Todd Haynes in the sequel. Combined with Kick-Ass 2's poor critical reception and disappointing box office performance, it's little wonder people tend to bring up Peter's work on Fox's X-Men movies far more often than his ties to the Kick-Ass property.
All the same, it's fun to see WandaVision tip its hat to Kick-Ass, given its connection to both Peters and Taylor-Johnson. What's more, it's a gag that fit with the general approach in "All-New Halloween Spooktacular," paying tribute to the rise of relatively cynical sitcoms like Malcolm in the Middle and their use of meta-humor in the late 1990s and early 2000s. One only wonders if the show will become even more self-aware in the weeks ahead, especially once the truth comes out about who "Pietro" really is and what he's after.
Written by Jac Schaeffer and directed by Matt Shakman, WandaVision stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as Vision, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Kathryn Hahn as Agnes. New episodes air Fridays on Disney+.
I think we are well-advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were.
* As a kid, I watched Beaches with Bette Midler endlessly and would cry if I watched it again, I know. It inspired me to move to New York, along with Chorus Line which was not very infant appropriate - had a song about STDs! Movies have so much unconscious power.
Almost every Friday night, Meg makes pizza and we sit down with the boys and watch a movie. (Here\u2019s what we loved last year + her recipe.) We\u2019ve had a particularly good streak of classics in the past 3 Fridays: Mary Poppins, Tron, and The Wizard of Oz. Two movies I\u2019d never seen before and one movie I hadn\u2019t seen in at least a decade.
The Wizard of Oz brought up completely unexpected waves of emotion in me. I was crying by the time Judy Garland hit the first few notes of \u201COver The Rainbow.\u201D I don\u2019t know where, exactly, this reaction came from. I remember watching the movie as a kid, but I didn\u2019t realize how the movie had dug into me, somehow. (The most vivid memory of the movie I have comes from adolescence: syncing it up Pink Floyd\u2019s Dark Side of the Moon.) Where did these feelings come from?
I spent most of my Saturday reading Aljean Harmetz\u2019s 1977 book, The Making of the Wizard of Oz. The movie was a studio \u201Cprestige\u201D picture, intended to make a splash, but never really expected to make money. It did okay at the box office when it came out just a few weeks before WWII in 1939, but it was dominated at the Academy Awards by Gone With The Wind. It was one of the first musicals with the songs integrated into the plot, but it didn\u2019t make that much of a cultural impact or turn any profit or become the classic it is now until the mid-1950s when it started being aired on television every year.
The movie was adapted from L. Frank Baum\u2019s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a book that was almost four decades old and had sold over a million copies. (It came out in 1901, around the same time as Freud\u2019s The Interpretation of Dreams.) The movie cost a small fortune to make, and over the course of its production, it went through ten writers and four directors, poisoned one Tin Man out of commission, put The Wicked Witch of the West and her stunt woman in the hospital, and caused the terrier playing Toto to have a nervous breakdown. (Not to mention the fate of Judy Garland.)
In the book, Dorothy gets transported to Oz within the first few pages. The brilliant invention of the movie is to show us Dorothy\u2019s Kansas first, and populate it with characters that will be echoed later \u2014 Miss Gulch on her kickass bike, the three farmhands, and the fortune teller, who, in Oz, become The Wicked Witch, The Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion, and The Wizard, respectively.
In the book, Kansas is grey, but on-screen it\u2019s not black and white, it\u2019s sepia: they actually dyed the film to look muddy and brown, which makes an even bigger impact when she opens the door into the Technicolor Oz.
There are other additions and subtractions, but the addition that rings the falsest to me is the emphasis on \u201Cthere\u2019s no place like home,\u201D which was invented by the producers and screenwriters to give it a syrupy, warm ending.
\u201CI was the only kid in the audience who couldn\u2019t understand why Dorothy would want to go home. It was a mystery to me. To that awful black-and-white farm, with that aunt who was dressed badly, with smelly farm animals around when she could live with winged monkeys and magic shoes and gay lions!\u201D
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they\u2019ve seen Paree\u2019?
How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway
Jazzin around and paintin\u2019 the town
How ya gonna keep 'em away from harm, that\u2019s a mystery
They\u2019ll never want to see a rake or plow
And who the deuce can parleyvous a cow?
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they\u2019ve seen Paree\u2019?
It is this tension between staying put and leaving in the movie that really pulled my gut strings. When I was a kid, I literally lived in the middle of a cornfield, and all I wanted was to get out of there, gather a gang of friends, journey to the metropolis, and go see The Wizard. I was \u2014 I am! \u2014 Dorothy. A thought that somehow, up until the writing of this very sentence, my dumb brain had never registered.
