Anyone going to watch Tin Man---6 hour Sci Fi Channel mini-series?
I'm not sure about this one. I think this one could be really bad. It does have a decent cast though.
Synopsis:
In this cyber-twisted update of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a leather-clad, soul-sucking sorceress named Azkadellia has scorched the once-beautiful land of O.Z. into a desolate wasteland. Its only hope lies with an “outsider” named DG, a young Midwestern woman, whose troubling dreams have summoned her to the doomed paradise. She not only changes the fate of O.Z. but discovers, as well, her own destiny in this strange new world.
PRINCIPAL CAST INFORMATION:
· Alan Cumming as Glitch
· Kathleen Robertson as Azkadellia
· Neal McDonough as Cain
· Raoul Trujillo as Raw
· Richard Dreyfuss as The Mystic Man
· Zooey Deschanel as DG

It looks interesting.

I'm going to watch, but my expectations are low. That synopsis sounds really, really bad. I like Zooey Deschanel, but I'm not a big fan of Alan Cumming, and Richard Dreyfuss as the wizard (I'm guessing that's the mystery man?) seems odd.

Things like this make me grateful that there's a strike going on.
Good thing I don't get this thing called "Sci-Fi".

Not watching it.
From a newspaper article I read Thursday, it sounds like they scripted it out of a 16-bit RPG instead of The Wizard of Oz.
The O.Z., Mobats, shapeshifting dog companion... tell me this doesn't sound like a SNES game.

This was worse than I feared. Even the worst Sci-Fi channel movies offer two things that make them entertaining: Coolio and/or over-the-top graphic cgi violence. This had neither.

I turned this on for a few minutes and it was horrible. Now I realize that I can't properly judge this movie but from what i watched it seemed to be very cheep. Everybody was running through a generic forrest with perfect rows of spooky trees while the Band of Brothers guy just kept yelling "RUN!!" while being chased by poorly CGI'd dogs.

Think Wizard of Oz as a sci-fi movie. Not as bad as above comments indicate (the SFX are better than average for TV), but if you don't have 8-10 inches of new snow on the ground, you probably have something better to do.
