Comparing Stephen King's version of It to Clara Bow's version of It is like comparing Willie Nelson's (or Elvis Presley's) version of "Always on My Mind" to the Pet Shop Boys' version of "Always on My Mind." (And there are no prizes for guessing what's playing on my radio right now.)
Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
What do Buffistas think of Return to Oz?

I love it, own it and have rewatched it many times. (Also read the two books it's based on.)
I just watched it for the first time yesterday (on Disney+), and I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it.
I haven't rewatched it on Dksney+ yet but I loved it when I watched it the first few times
I am also a Return to Oz fan. I always tend to like surprisingly terrifying kids movies.
The Good Liar was wonderful.
I saw Harriet tonight. It was well-done, with a great cast, although I found it didn't have a strong character arc. Very much an episodic kind of biopic. And really, I can't believe they gave such short shrift to the most exciting and dramatic sequence, the raid deep into South Carolina during the Civil War.
Still, worth watching, and the music was great. They really took advantage of Cynthia Erivo's voice.

Might be worth seeing just for that.
We saw Knives Out last night. It lived up to the hype and WOW, Ana de Armas is incredible.
Also, I really want to live in that house.
I want to see that, but it doesn't appear to be playing nearby. I'm considering catching a matinee of Terminator: Dark Fate, but I suspect I will miss it...
