   Is the Wizard a good movie?

   • "The Wizard" is pure nostalgia; uneven and confusing, but fascinating. [Full review in Spanish] A shameless promotional piece. But compared to the McDonald's-pushing Mac and Me and the Coke-hawking Leonard Part 6, The Wizard almost looks as exceptional as The Wizard of Oz by comparison.
