OZ-Great and Powerful Again

An Interesting Outing

I think this is a re-run and it features James Franco in a comical role as that always in absentia Wizard of OZ that conned the whole Emerald City and yet won the day. Sam Raimi directs.

Together along with him this time are the lovable and charming Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams  and Rachel Weisz.

From a black and white beginning it transforms into full vivid colour when we can out of the hurricane into Oz. This reminds me of the same mode used in that classic Wizard of Oz of yesteryear.

There is great special effects here though the story continues to be corny and insipid.
