OZ: The Great and Powerful  (PG)    Fantasy/Adventure 2 hrs 7 min.  (not including 8 to 12 min of previews and/or cartoon)
Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard but into a better man as well. When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great wizard-and just maybe into a better man as well.

Always fighting for truth, justice & the Avonian way!
RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO

And, how was YOUR "snow adventure"??
Mine was "memorable".
After making the decision to close early on Sunday, when all of the snow in the world decided to attack us, it was my stressful duty to make sure all our girls got home safely...
Indeed, Sue and I couldn't even begin to think clearly until we'd heard from all of them they were home and safe!

Even Sue and my daughter, Melissa, got stuck on West Main street because some ignoramus didn't know how to drive in snow, and created a mess for about 20 cars!
When I came from the theater to rescue them, West Main (past Dennis school) looked like an obstacle course of stuck cars.

But, its over now.
And, I mean it!
Spring is coming fast, folks!

I hope those sage words of comfort and wisdom will make you feel better.

My advice: 
Start to clean your closets of those bulky winter duds, and bring out your Spring and Summer stuff.
It'll start you smiling about things, because....

"Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo"
