Tangled And Burlesque Review

Tangled ~ Tangled is made by the cartoon family experts that are Disney, and will be the last good animated film in Theaters for a while. Disney has always surprised me with their skill to take old boring fairy tales and turn them into a fun adventure.

This movie will make you want to use a frying pan as a weapon

As I am sure you know, Disney was trying to market this movie to boys as well as girls. The movie still focuses on Rapunzel for its main character, however Flynn plays a big role in the movie as well. The movie isn't as girlie as other Disney films as it does have some cool action scenes like a collapsing dam and a chase though the castle streets. But just be prepared for a few un manly songs, but if your a real man you can take it.

The script is pretty sharp and there are pretty of amusing parts to laugh at.  Overall the story holds pretty strong, even if a tiny bit predictable at some parts. The CGi animation looks nice, and looks like 2D animated colors. 

Tangled does not top Princess and the Frog, but is still a great addition to the family animation library. Over all, I give it

***** Out of *****

Burlesque ~ Burlesque stars Cher, who look amazing for her age, and Christina Aguilera, who also looks pretty good even for her age. Burlesque follows in the style of a musical, but it's not a full out musical. The only time only one sings is when they are stage and dancing at the Burlesque club.

Now, the story is nothing new. Alice (Christina) wants to move away from her crappy waitress job to LA in order to have a better life. When she is looking for a place to work, she stumbles upon the Burlesque club, and is hypnotized by the show. Alice then seeks Tess (Cher) to convince her to let her join. 

Along the way, she befriends a bartender at the place, Jack. Which you can guess revolves the romantic twists in the film.Now the relationship kinda confused me at the end, as I thought Alice forgive him way to easy without really knowing what happen. Its hard to explain this without giving spoilers, but the relationship is amusing to watch.  

Along the way, there is a envy co-star, a guy who wants the buy the Burlesque club to build a sky spacer and Cher's quest to save her club from the bank.

The dancing scenes are nice and showy

Overall, if you don't mind the predictable story and dance moves, then Burlesque is for you. How ever, if your  looking for a little more substance of drama, you may want to look somewhere else.
