The American fairy tale \u201cThe Wizard of Oz\u201d tells a story of a young lady, but nothing about an \u201cinnocent man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even the well-known musical \u201cWicked\u201d doesn&#8217;t mention a man who helps save the people of Oz. In this fairy tale, \u00a0&#8220;Oz: The Great and Powerful,&#8221; James Franco, the con-artist known as Oz, finds himself in a far off world and agrees to kill an evil witch with the help of the village people.<\/p>\n<p>This journey gives us the background on how Oz becomes the wonderful wizard. Beautiful landscapes and heartfelt music carries\u00a0viewers away as Oz meets his fellow helpers Finley (Zack Braff), China Girl (Joey King) and the rest of the gang before they use wonder and awe to run the Wicked Witch out of the city.<\/p>\n<p>This magical journey is rated PG, was given 7 stars, and has earned its spot next to its sister production \u201cWicked\u201d and the American favorite, \u201cThe Wizard of Oz.\u201d This is a highly suggested movie for anyone looking for a story that truly has it all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Michael Lewis &#8212;\u00a0In a world where magic and evil rule the land, a prophecy tells of a wondrous man who comes to save the helpless people of Oz.
