I have to admit that for once I was enticed by advertising. The Sci-Fi channel's new mini-series The Tinman looked really, really cool.

And you know what? It is. I mean, obviously any remake of The Wizard of Oz is going to be a bit cheesy. It can't be avoided. But I'm seriously enjoying this.  The only downer is that each episode is 2 hours long, and it's every night rather than every week.

This is seriously eating into my writing/business planning time.  Good thing I did a lot of my week's writing Sunday afternoon, cuz I'm sure not getting any in during the evening anymore!

Like I said, it's a little cheesy, but the CGI is very impressive for a made-for-tv, as is the cast, and the costumes.  The little twists and turns would make any novelist proud (had they written it), and there are plenty of "oh" moments. 

There's still time to catch it before it goes totally over your head, and the recaps are helpful.  But hurry if you want to watch it this time around.  Soon it'll be way too convoluted to just step in and enjoy.
