Series Review: Agatha All Along

-

I'm very late with this write up, but how wonderful was Agatha All Along? Wandavision has been my favorite Marvel TV show to date, and this was a lovely follow up. It kept the spirit of its predecessor and was a fun story over all. As always, here are my likes, dislikes, and things to look forward to.

LIKES
* The costume changes! I love how they kept the theme of the changing decades by having them in different outfits with each task. That was a fun way to pay homage to the original
* The acting was amazing. I laughed so hard at Kathryn Hahn's Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown impression in the first episode. 
* Ages three and up for a Ouija board. 
* The way Billy came to be made sense.
* Agatha continued to be a good mix of the villain we know her as in the series, and the more grey version she is in the comics
*TEENAGER! (she used his full name)

DISLIKES
* Billy Maximoff, do NOT speak about your mother that way!
* No Wanda cameo - which was always wishful thinking on my part, but I digress
* I didn't love how Billy somehow remembers Tommy, but nothing of Wanda and Vision. It didn't make sense for him to get snippy with Agatha over Wanda being his mother and they barely brought up Vision at all. 

MOVING FORWARD
* Obviously we don't know if Agatha will get a second season. It did make the switch from Limited Series to Comedy Series for awards consideration, but I do look forward to Billy and Agatha hopefully reuniting with Wanda and Tommy in the future. Anything Marvel can do to get the bad taste of Multiverse of Madness out of my mouth is welcomed.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing Bobby, and the

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen

Earlier this week I made a post where I ran through the letters of the alphabet with my favorite movie titles. There were a few people that suggested I turn it into a blogathon, and I've never done that before. So here goes nothing! Since this is my first attempt at a blogathon, it's all pretty simple, and it's hopefully a quick post that everyone can join in. Rules: 1) Going through the alphabet, list your favorite movie title beginning with each letter.  2) You don't have to necessarily  like the movie to use it's title.  3) Use the banner at the top of this post in yours. 4) Please have submissions in by Friday, May 30th*. (But I'll be honest, if you send them to me after that date, I'll still add them to my post.) You can either leave a link to your post in the comments here or tweet it to me, ( @ramblingfilm )  Thanks everyone! :)  *I had to move the date back a week due to Photobucket threatening me with bandwidth issues. But
