The new James Franco film – “Oz the Great and Powerful” – leapt over the rainbow to take in $80.3 million and capture the No. 1 slot in weekend ticket sales.
I spent the weekend recovering from travel, but plan to see the film this week.
Who saw it? Thoughts? Yay? Nay?

From the YouTube description: The 1980 film Cruising, starring Al Pacino as an undercover cop investigating a murder in the New York City gay, leather, bar scene, was plagued with controversy, and its director was forced by the Motion Picture Association of America to cut 40 minutes of sexually explicit material. Those 40 minutes have never been screened publicly.
Filmmakers James Franco and Travis Mathews set out to reimagine what might have transpired in those lost scenes in this intriguing film about the making of a film.
Opens at Sundance Film Festival this weekend.
Franco is also debuting a new documentary this weekend at Sundance – “Kink” – for which he is the Executive Producer.
New trailer from the James Franco and Chris Evans film, The Iceman!
The film stars Michael Shannon as real life contract killer Richard Kuklinski, who between 1964 and 1986 killed over one hundred people.
Winona Ryder stars as Michael‘s wife who is unaware of her husband’s secret life in this movie based on a true story.
David Schwimmer and Ray Liotta also take part in the flick that is due out in theaters on May 3 of this year.
Two years ago some footage was leaked of a possible GREASE sequence with James Franco and Anne Hathaway during their unfortunate Academy Awards hosting gig. It looks like it’s now turned up in a new video for R.E.M.’s song “That Someone Is You’ – with Franco as Danny Zuko and perhaps Anne Hathaway (with a big kitty head) as Sandy.
Not sure what the symbolism is with the cat head. What do you guys think?
