Tangled

Certificate: PG

Running Time: 100 minutes

Directors: Nathan Greno and Byron Howard

Based on the classic fairytale by Jacob and Wilheim Grimm, rumour has it that Tangled (as their 50th animation) will be the last animated film to come from Disney. So, you would think that they would have made it go out with a bang. Sure, they threw enough money at its production. But I wouldn’t call it a success exactly. As a Disney fan since I was a child, I was disappointed to say the least. The whole thing needed to be a lot stronger, casting could have been better and singing should have been scrapped altogether. However, its animation was by far amazing quality, and it is an okay film for kids, families and adults alike. 

Rating: ***

Happy New Year :-)

I hope you all had an amazing christmas and are looking forward to 2011.

The start of a new year means one thing only in the world of film - awards ceremonies. The Golden Globes come up on the 16th January, the BAFTA awards on 13th February and the Oscars on 27th February, filling up the first quarter of our year with acting talent. I’m going to be writing lots about the awards ceremonies over the coming months, so I hope you’re ready!!

2011 also sees plenty of mouth-watering new film releases, such as Rabbit Hole, Love and Other Drugs and Tangled. I will be reviewing as many new releases as humanly possible, to spare you from films that suck and urge you to see films that are out of this world. If you’re into movies, this is the blog for you. Without further ado, here are the top 10 films I can’t wait to watch in 2011;

1. The King’s Speech
2. Chalet Girl
3. Captain America: The First Avenger
4. Biutiful
5. Black Swan
6. Rango
7. True Grit
8. 127 Hours
9. Thor
10. Restless

As excited as you all are about rushing down to the cinema (‘Orange Wednesdays’ I hear you cry!) enjoy the new year celebrations before you get re-glued to a cinema screen. Have a fun start to 2011, let’s make this year an incredible one.
