Oz in 3D - "There's no place like home."
The new 3D Oz is a prequel to one of the most beloved movies of all time, "The Wizard of Oz." This movie possess few if any, original ideas; if it only had a brain, or a heart. It mainly follows the yellow brick road storylines, characters & scenery except in 3D. Oz does feature 3 of the most beautiful & talented actresses: Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz & Michelle Williams. At least these actresses showed some courage with this lackluster script. James Franco, the great & powerful Oz, brought little magic to his role & a creepy Cheshire Cat smile (perhaps he was in a different movie altogether.) Glinda the Good Witch (Williams) kept telling Oz "You can do anything if you truly believe." I truly cannot believe anyone would want to see this movie, it's all hot air & foolish monkey business. And, where did central casting conjure up so many pathetic extras? I never realized the power extras had to muck up a movie. You'll know you're not in Kansas when you see this film. You'll find youself saying "There's no place like home."
