Yesterday's movie selection was first seen when it came out in miniseries on Syfy many years ago. Another spinoff, this one from Wizard of Oz. Only this is set generations later, and Oz has become corrupted by an evil witch. Only her sister has the power necessary to save the O.Z. The problem is, she doesn't know it.
It's a fun movie. You have the Wizard, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow in the characters of Glitch - who has half a brain - literally, Raw who is not at all courageous, and Wyatt Cain - a Tin Man - police officer, who had been locked inside a tin man for many years until D.G. found him and set him free with the aid of Glitch. Then they need to find the pieces of the puzzle, found in the Mystic Man - now into show business, and find out what happened to her real mother and get rid of the evil witch taking over her sister.
It's a three part movie miniseries and entertaining. It's a favorite as I can mouth most of the lines of this movie. It stars Zooey Deschanel, Alan Cumming, Neal McDonough, Kathleen Robertson, Raoul Max Trujillo, Callum Keith Rennie, and Richard Dreyfuss. I give this movie a solid thumb's up and 4 stars.
Thanks for reading. Photo mine.

I loved the Wizard of Oz, and this one sounds like even more good entertainment. Some of these movies, we watch them more than once:)

@kobesbuddy I'm slowly getting to those. Some, I bought after I saw them in the theater and wanted for my collection.

I saw the film a long time ago, but a lot of it has been forgotten.

I saw Tin Man and liked it. An offbeat take on a familiar story.

Appreciate the review. Always enjoyed the Wizard of OZ. From your character description they took the original movie and took it on a different Yellow Brick Road....
