    L. Frank Baum's <a href="http://www.literature.org/authors/baum-l-frank/the-wonderful-wizard-of-oz/" target="_blank">classic about a wonderful wizard</a> is getting a new look, in a movie prequel called <a href="http://disney.go.com/thewizard/#/tickets/?cmp=wdsmp_ozg_4d_google_src" target="_blank">"Oz: The Great &amp; Powerful." </a>This isn't a true adaptation -- in fact, Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion and other key characters do not even appear, and references to Baum's work are kept to a minimum. Early reactions show that the movie <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/oz_the_great_and_powerful/" target="_blank">may be more appealling to general sudiences than to critics</a>.

  3. 'Dumbo': Flying circles above the crowd in high-def

    Any 20th-century animator working in film who chose to ignore what was coming out of the Walt Disney studios did so at a professional cost. And from 1941 on, Disney's "Dumbo" was the elephant in the room. This week it joins "Snow White," "Pinocchio,"...

  5. New 'Oz' buoyed by bombast, hot air

    If Disney's "Oz the Great and Powerful" continues to be a tornado at the ticket counter (opening weekend saw $80.3 million in domestic ticket sales, making it the most successful 2013 release to date), the inhabitants of the Emerald City aren't the only ones who stand to see some serious green.

  8. Review: 'Storm Kings' by Lee Sandlin

    Walking the dog last week I saw a buzzard eating a possum. And, just as when I'd previously seen dramatic rainbows, dazzling lightning storms, or a distant funnel cloud, I processed it through my media experiences. This looks just like it does in a movie!
