Though it seems hard to believe, filmmaking has gotten safer over the years. But not always -- and I'll probably write about that soon.

I saw it every year during its network runs - and wish I could see a revival on the Big Screen. I did not see 1985's Return to Oz - though a movie buddy from my school days swears it's worth a watch. I am not a big James Franco fan - don't dislike him, but he doesn't make me want to see any movie with his presence. So, the only aspect of Raimi's movie that might entice me in is the presence of my old partner in crime Michelle Williams as Glinda. Thinking she may have to settle for me watching the Blu-Ray, or a Netflix stream down the road.<br /><br />In the meantime - I'm joining both of you on the Yellow Brick Road for another viewing of the truly wonderful Wizard of Oz.Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-7639548228195640232013-03-12T18:20:27.574-07:002013-03-12T18:20:27.574-07:00Yes, it's TIME to see the Wizard, the Wonderfu...Yes, it's TIME to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz!

I haven't seen it in quite some time and now want to watch it again. I guess it's time to stop passing over that bluray and actually buy it this time!venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.com
