Which Witch is Which?

Guess which witch becomes this witch in OZ: the Great & Powerful...

Is it Evanora, played by Rachel Weisz?
Her sister, Theodora, performed by Mila Kunis?
Or Glinda, portrayed by Michelle Williams?
If you were one of the audience (including myself), who filled Disney's coffers with $80 million this past weekend to see the flick, you know.

Oz: the Great and Powerful

My admiration for writer/director/producer Sam Raimi is boundless...
...so, I'm going to see how he handles a prequel to the classic tale of the Wizard tonite.
Raimi has a knack for pastiche, using elements of existing stories to either re-tell tales with a twist (as in the Hercules: the Legendary Journeys, Xena: Warrior Princess, and the current Spartacus TV series), or do new material with "familiar" elements (Evil Dead trilogy).
See you tomorrow!
