So I watched the first part of "Tin Man" last night

I have to say, I was actually surprised.

Okay, yes, it's a retelling of "The Wizard of Oz", and God knows I saw enough of those in comic-book form at HeroesCon two years ago. (It seemed like every indie comic press out there has their own version of it and most of them suck.)

But it's actually decent. There's been no major plot-holes thus far, the acting is okay. Some of the special effects sucked, but hey, it's being made for the Sci-Fi channel, and it's not this is the first movie they've had with bad special effects.

Also, Kathleen Robertson as the evil sorceress? Amazingly hot. Although the flying monkey tit-tattoos are a little off-putting.

Not what I meant by "pretty" (was referring to the quality of the effects), but I agree with you. It was a nice take on the dystopian Oz.

Oh yeah, the special effects, especially the flying monkeys chasing people down in the ice palace.... that looked like ass.
