Oz The Great and Powerful (2013)

[Henry88]

Walt Disney Pictures' fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

The idea of this sounds great and I think my mother would love it... but I kinda wish it was a different director.  Oh well, it could be good, who knows?

We'll see if this can actually make me care about the character of the Wizard. As it is the only portrayal of him I can have any sympathy for is Richard Pryor in the Wiz. As goofy as that movie was, the scene where he's revealed as a fraud is the one time I remember the wizard showing real remorse for his actions.
