Deserves its decades of praise. One of studio system high points. Still beautiful, magical. Over The Rainbow greatest film song of all time.

#140RVW - 140 character reviews
140 character review: When I started this site that’s all I did – movie reviews that could fit on Twitter. With the exception of a few short blasts, everything since 2014 has been a full-size review, and I've gone back to expand on some of the earlier reviews. If they're here, I haven't updated them yet...
#140RVW: Jackie Brown (1997)
Tarantino’s 1st adaptation – good choice; his style blends nicely with Leonard’s. As follow-up to Pulp Fiction favors well; more breezy fun.

#140RVW: Spider-Man (2002)
Bit showy but it may be the best they could do at the time. No idea why they didn’t realize Maguire & Dunst were the worst actors available.

#140RVW: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Cuarón takes series from kids movies to well-rounded films by wisely choosing the story he wanted to focus on instead of slavish adherence.
