the wizard of ox was on last night a remake and like all remakes of old movies it sucked the basic elements were in tact but show from an different angle. child bored, lives with aunt and uncle want to leave same as in star wars luke lives with aunt and uncle bored wants to leave. in the original oz movie dorothea( played by judy garland mother of liza ''let me at him'' minelli)gets caught in a tornado and ends trying to get back home after seeing life away from home isn't all that easy especially when you being chased by a witch seeking revenge for the accidental death of her sister and the recovery of her sisters estate( ruby slippers, looks like pumps to me)which by law belongs to her being next of kin and all. dottys companions have all the qualifications for the jobs they are given at the end of the movie they left in charge of oz. real politicians the tin man has a watch for a heart the the scarecrow has a diploma far a brain and the lion i forgot what the lion got for courage i think it was a bottle of scotch in the end Dorothea goes home or wakes up and find that kansas isnt so bad afterall. back in oz the scare crow gets indicted for recieving kickbacks from the mayor of munchkin city the tin man announces that he,s gay and is going live his life openly and the lion is found to have fathered a child by an inner emerald city teen girl went he was a young lion. obla dee obla dah life goes on
