TIN MANThis adaptation of The Wizard of Oz takes viewers on a dark ride down the Yellow Brick Road. The three-part miniseries is set in the far future and stars Zooey Deschanel as Dorothy, a belligerent tomboy thrust by supernatural means into the Outer Zone - or O.Z. The plucky heroine immediately bonds with three strangers: a timid beast named Raw (Raoul Trujillo), the witless Glitch (Alan Cumming), whose brain has literally been removed, and a swaggering ex-cop (Neal McDonough), nicknamed Tin Man for the badge he still wears. The requisite villainess is Canadian actress Kathleen Robertson as a witch-like sorceress. Smart, funny and never to be confused with the 1939 version starring Judy Garland.

In the Jewish faith, you can go home again. For the past six decades, and a few thousand years prior, Jews from around the world have returned to Israel for spiritual rejuvenation. More than a million Jews still make the trip each year, along with scores of Christians and Muslims. When visiting the Holy Land, many people take pictures. Ralph Benmergui sent a series of video postcards from the edge.
