TANGLED - I steered clear of this one when it first came out - the Rapunzel story is fun, but watching the trailer and seeing how the hair seemed to have a mind of its own sort of threw me off. Rapunzel's character was nothing of note, and the songs were "eh", but the one character that made me laugh my butt off was the horse Maximus. If Disney can do anything right it is making awesome animal sidekicks.
THE SECRET OF MOONACRE - I stumbled upon this flick whilst browsing Netflix and my first reaction was how have I not heard of this movie?! A fantasy film which contains similar elements to other movies such as Inkheart, this movie fell in the realm of so-much-potential-yet-just-not-quite-there category. Definitely not "really really bad" but I can see where it got lost along the way. The film has talent with Tim Curry, Ioan Gruffudd, and Dakota Blue Richards (the girl from The Golden Compass) and the costumes were fabulous, but the story itself wasn't up to snuff. Also kind of confusing since the actors played characters that appeared in both past and present, without any indication of "magic potion" implying they lived for hundreds of years... left me with a feeling of wait, what?
