Wizard of Oz DVD features review part 40

well once again it Friday and time again for another Wizard of Oz DVD feature review and today will take a look at another silent film from 1914 again called The Magic Cloak of Oz so lets start on this wonderful trip back in time.

Written bye Frank Baum 

thoughts on story and silent film 

A very well put film bye Frank Baum well done for a  film back in 1914 where we didn't have much action movies yet again you had animals played bye humans which it odd a women who played bye a boy who is made into king later on in the film and also a magic Cloak that grants wishes which was cool also there is a little girl who is name little Mary I guess she can of look like snow white if you asked me my guess that the robbers holding her as a prisoner yep I was right just see it coming to her aid was animals and then she got home and was safe. very good story this was for 41 mins and as for the acting it was good but for something reason I liked Humans playing the Animals because they are very good acting as them but that just me the acting wasn't too bad for a 1914 film and story was good for a 1914 some good effects too which is at started at film bye the way after that you don't see too much for effects as for the ending it was good I did like this film not bad and if you like Silent movies as I do you like this too.

final thoughts 

another great silent film that was great and it cool they added this in the DVD boxset something you should check out if you get a chance will post the link to film below and also I must say it is a good looking at the old films because then you see how it was done back then when you look at movies now you will say things has indeed change a lot over the past 100 years.

acting good or bad
it wasn't too bad some good and some boring but not worst though the actors did a great job in this one no problems at all animals was played bye a human which was cool he did a good job playing them everybody did a worderful job in this one

Wizard of Oz DVD features review part 38

welcome to a Thursday Edition of  Wizard of Oz DVD features review and this week will be taking a look at Hollywood Celebrates Its Biggest Little Stars a 10 min look at munchkins of Wizard of Oz

it was very good 10 min look at celebrate the Munchkins with interviews with family members and Munchkins but 10 Min's wasn't enough should of been a little bit longer because they are also another reason why this movie is great not hated on this 10 min film but would of like to see more but it was not bad happy they did something for them in 2009 think this took place unsure but it was nice see video from it added in here. so if you got 10 mins check this out as you may like it or sort of agree they could added more then 10 mins.

Final Thoughts

first time I see the Munchkins was I was Just a kid worder who they was and I thought they were odd looking but then growing up now know how special they are too this movie without them this book or movie would not be good.

Wizard of Oz DVD features review part 37

after a break it has return the Wizard Of DVD Features review is back and it time again but before we start next week due to me going to Fargo blues on Friday I will be posting Wizard of Oz DVD features on Thursday next week so just letting everybody know so let get started on this review shell we.


Last time we review the greatness of Victor Fleming this time we look at the man behind the greatness of this classic oz books series called L. Frank Baum The Man Behind the Curtain a 27 min film on the life and times of Frank Baum.

must say this was a good look at the man himself now it shows you everything on how he got started on The Oz books which he went though a lot to get it going  also it shows on how he meet his wife and started a family I did like this learn a lot more about Frank Baum the man behind the classic wizard of Oz movies and books it is indeed a must see if you get a chance to watch this it a very well made 27 min Film on him could of been a bit more longer like 1 hour otherwise it was good.


Thoughts from me on Frank Baum and his Oz Books
Figure I  write more to make this blog a little bit longer so what Do I think about the books well I am still Reading his first Oz book and so far it is Wonderful it is indeed like people say a Classic and they are right like how story goes there is a lot of stuff you read in this book that not in 1939 movie but I like that  because it lot of new stuff to me as well so good book indeed and I do plan on reading more of his books down the line so if you get a chance read some of his Oz books they are indeed amazing from what I see so far and without this man the Wizard of oz would not be around with out him next book when I find it that I will be reading will be The Marvelous Land of Oz looking forward to reading it and more of his books in the future.

well that it for this week review see you next Thursday as this Wizard of DVD features review keeps on going blog was kind of short because I was busy.
