Generations later in the Land of Oz... (2008-06-06)

The Tin Man mini-series brings the Land of Oz to an interesting period in time. It has been generations since dorothy has left Oz and things have changed dramatically. The Munchkins have devolved into tribes of tree dwelling warriors, the yellow brick road is overgrown and in disrepair and the Queen of Oz rules with an Iron fist. It is a great series which enhances the overall world of Oz. If you like this movie you should definitely read "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire, It is a great story of the entire life of the Wicked Witch of the West. I would love to see this turned into a series. Hopefully we will see much more of Oz in the coming years.

Wonderful! (2008-06-02)

I loved watching this cool mini series.It's a take off from the Wizard Of Oz done in a science fiction setting.Although this is not the exact same storyline as the original Oz, many of the same characters are present and come into play.For instance Toto, Dorothy's dog within the original, is also in this story. But here he's a man that shape shifts down into a dog and can alternate between the two.Yes........this is not the same Oz you are use to seeing, but I assure you the adventure is just as amazing and wild, if not better.It's a different trip down the yellow brick road, and you won't regret taking it. Check it out on Amazon.com, it has over a hundred reviewers. Well written, filmed, and directed. Highly recommended!Richter10

Don't purchase this DVD for your deaf/hearing impaired relatives (2008-05-19)

Don't get me wrong, I greatly enjoyed this movie/miniseries. I loved how the story was almost completely different from the 1930's movie, and yet the essential framework of the Wizard of Oz was still recognizable in it. It was a lot darker and edgier, and there was a happy lack of singing munchkins (there were munchkins of course, but they weren't, ah, the singing type). The movie itself I rate 4 stars, though being 4.5 hours long it's kind of a lot to take in all in one sitting ^_^.However, the reason I rated this DVD with 3 stars instead of 4 has to do with the fact that, for some reason, there is no closed captioning or subtitles of any kind. Having a very close relative who is hard-of-hearing, I find this extremely disappointing. She has a very hard time following movies or TV shows that aren't closed captioned, because she can't tell what the characters are saying half the time without them! As most DVD releases these days are closed captioned/subtitled, I found it very surprising that this one wasn't. On the other hand, "The Hogfather", which was distributed by the same company, Genius Entertainment, was not closed captioned/subtitled either. Whether this is the norm for this company I don't know, but I will be very hesitant about purchasing their DVD's again.
