XXX $ X XXX $ X XXX $ X XXX X XXX X XXX X ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Movie Review: ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ by Cambria Puffenberger “Oz the Great and Powerful” - what could possibly go wrong with a title like that? I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about this new movie. I mean, who doesn’t love the classic “Wizard of Oz” that has so pervaded our culture? And I’m sure I’m not the only fan of the L. Frank Baum books and the Broadway musical “Wicked.” So it’s with good reason that fans might be somewhat nervous when a new take on Oz comes out. The movie was released to theaters on March 8 after a lot of hype. The trailer looked promising, with its wild and wonderful scenery and promise of action-packed-witch- whupping scenes. Sam Raimi is the director, and the cast includes James Franco playing Oz, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz playing the morally Photo courtesy of attractionsmagazine.com ambiguous witches and Michelle Williams playing our beloved Glinda the Good Witch. The story itself is derived from the L. Frank Baum novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” the same book from which we get Dorothy’s story. As far as the book is concerned, the movie did take quite a few liberties. I assume this was in order to make Oz’s ascent to greatness a much more exciting story than Baum originally envisioned. Regardless, the film was a joy to watch. Oz starts out as merely a carnival magician, and not a successful one at that. All he dreams of is greatness, but he doesn’t think of himself as a “good man.” The theme of inner goodness is prevalent throughout the movie. Glinda sees the goodness inside of him that he can’t seem to find, which is why we think it’s insane when she places her trust in this fraud of a wizard. But in the end, everyone sees how right she was. Oz uses his propensity for greatness and smarts gained from the field of street magic to team up with Glinda for the battle over the Land of Oz. The movie did a good job of relating back Photo courtesy of thehollywoodnews.com to its roots. For example, it started out in black and white with that old-movie feeling, and then when we reach the Land of Oz, the film suddenly bombards viewers with vibrant colors and strange but beautiful surroundings. When he meets the munchkins, they even try to sing him a song, giving a nice nod to the musical aspect of the original movie. The movie is light and fun, with a few surprises that even I didn’t see coming. It is a nice addition to Oz lore, and overall it was a quality film experience. I definitely recommend seeing it.

The lyrics don’t go anywhere other Christian bands haven’t — they fail to give the listener a new, insightful view of God or understand the Christian life in a new way. The same is not quite true of the musical composition of “Kings and Queens.” Those who appreciate pop-rock can enjoy a mixture of different styles within the genre. While the music isn’t diverse or in- ventive enough to appeal to non-pop-rock lovers, one can’t complain that the songs sound exactly alike. “20:17 (Raise the Banner)” creates a thematic ambience with drums while “Change My Name” is heavy on the rock, and “He Moves You Move” almost immediately reminds one of TobyMac. You can also hear the influence of Kevin Max’s alternative style throughout, especially in “Fire Never Sleeps.” However, the styles and sounds of the songs are so different that it’s difficult to pinpoint what the new Audio Adrenaline’s signature style will be. Although “Kings and Queens” isn’t breaking any new ground in the Christian music industry, fans of other contemporary Christian bands, and especially of Kevin Max himself, will enjoy listening to what the new Audio Adrenaline has to offer.
