Tangled

(Mandy Moore/Zachary Levi)

I absolutely adored this movie. Pixar definitely up-ed their game on this one.

I believe Tangled might have been the closest to real life cartoon characters created in these genre of Pixar films. The storyline tugged at my childhood heartstrings. It was reminiscent of The Little Mermaid. It's kind of disheartening when you become aware that you're hitting on a two dimensional fictional character named, Flynn Rider. But alas you realize that his voice is all to real, belonging to the gorgeous Zachary Levi.

The soundtrack is very true to form of Disney. Hopeful and intoxicatingly pleasant is what I think describes it.

Grab yo wives, Grab yo kids and catch Tangled.

The Green Hornet

(Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Christoph Waltz)

I must admit was I a bit skeptical about this one. What hooked me was the trailer of when Seth Rogen's character, Brett, dressed in his Green Hornet guise rapping Gangsta's Paradise. I knew from there I was going to give it a try.

I won't even front. I don't know much about the original Green Hornet's background and upbringing, but I did enjoy this interpretation. It was written and produced by our generation's comedic talents Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Superbad). They shine a different light on how superhero films are devised. With the help of a genius hand like Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), they do strike some gold on this one.

Almost feeling the same comedic tones as their notable works, you can definitely catch yourself on the edge of your seat grinning and waiting for that next punch line. While putting yourself together from Rogen's witty lines, one is intrigued by Kato's (Chou) incredible martial arts fitness enhanced by the eye of Gondry. Chou also has some comedic chops. Cameron Diaz's character and self, however, fails to spark luster (womp womp).

Without giving too much away, there are some notable and likable cameos. I did thoroughly enjoy it and I hope you do too.

P.S If you're a sucker for a man in suits..ooh wee.

As Josh Radnor's (HIMYM) writing and directorial debut, he brings you Happy Thank You More Please. It is a feel good movie that most don't give props to as I start to read critiques. But I beg to differ. HTYMP does touch base with the later 20s demographic. We're young but not? We can go wild and but at some point we do have to grow the F*** up. We still go through the trials and tribulations of finding our identities. Though we may go through this process, we shouldn't sell ourselves short.

This films incorporates the stories of a kaleidoscope of beautiful people and the cutest little kid. Decent and whole hearted acting.

As the film and poster states "Go get yourself loved".
