So with Esme here for her Grandma's Birthday Weekend, some movie going was in order - and we chose Oz the Great and Powerful - a good choice. The little china girl is a new fave character of mine!!
The reviews got it right - not a great film, but enjoyable and entertaining - a good film if you will. Not too scary either - I think kids would not have nightmares from it - the girls and Noah gave it 2 or 3 thumbs up. It's a film I'd put in my personal film library.
It's relationship to the Oz books is pretty close. And James Franco is a fine Oz!
The flying monkey is a delightful addition to film lore too! Give it a look-see soon!
Continuing on with my Sandra Dallas Read-A-Thon, just finished this one. I think it's my fave so far - the main character keeps telling stories to a young woman in the town - and that's how you fill in the back story. And there is character re-introduced from The Diary of Mattie Spencer - a nice touch.
A reason I'm behind in lots of things - busy reading instead!! (and these have all been library books - I have not purchased any books this year - only on Kindle.)
