So, Mobius is in pieces due to the Dark Gaia incident and the hunt for the Chaos Emeralds is on. What better than for Sonic, Amy, and Tails to enter a tournament to go find one of the most powerful gems on the planet! Sonic #268 begins a four part tournament arc that has been almost two decades in the making.
The story opens on a bygone battle between Sonic and the old Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad (Referred to as the “S6” for now on) of Coconuts, Scratch, Grounder, and a woman named Breezie, who happens to be a double agent for Eggman. Flash forward to the present, where Breezie is in the media business and holding a fighting tournament for a Chaos Emerald,...

Only one more after tonight. Let’s do this.
“Granite State” picks up seemingly where “Ozymandias” left off, with the red minivan pulling into a vacuum warehouse. It’s not Walt who gets out, though, but Saul (how did we not see that coming last week?). His guy, played by Robert Forster, starts processing Saul, setting him up with a Nebraska driver’s license, and lets him know he’ll have to lay low there for a while before starting up his new life (his face is on billboards, after all). In a break with Forster’s character’s usual protocol, he’ll be waiting with another in-process client, Walt, who doesn’t look to be taking his situation particularly well, as he paces and writes furiously on a legal pad.
After commercial, we’re back with a stonefaced Marie as she’s driven home, transported by federal agents (DEA?...

As the wave of zombie appreciation continues to ebb and flow, fans have already begun their search for the next phase of undead stories. The “siege” mentality (“They’re at the door trying to break in and eat us… what do we do?”) has become such a well-trodden road that many fans find themselves on a quest for the next idea. Some writers are already ahead of the curve and have been able to think outside the box, creating a new chapter in the living dead mythos. Mira Grant’s exemplary book Feed is one. Mark Rahner is another with his Moonstone comic series, Rotten. The ongoing comic takes the undead nightmare and sets it in the Old West amidst a thrilling backdrop of intrigue and adventure: think equal parts Joe R Lansdale’s Dead in The West and Deadman’s Road and the 1965 CBS television series Wild Wild West…...

Hollywoodnews.com: The Oscar season never really ends. It just goes into neutral for a few weeks following the annual Academy Awards ceremony, then kicks back into high gear as the films that competed (and especially those that won) reach home video.
We’ll continue to track the films that did well at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards as they reach DVD and Blu-ray, starting with two biggies that are hitting shelves this week:
Black Swan
We’ve been talking about Darren Aronofsky’s dark and twisted drama set in the world of professional ballet since it bowed at the Venice film festival last fall. Lately, the discussion has been just how much ballet Oscar-winner Natalie Portman actually performed on behalf of her role as Nina, a troubled dancer buckling under the pressure of the lead role in her company’s production of “Swan Lake.”

Brush off your entertainment shelf for the home video release of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ terrific 50th feature. Tangled is “something that you’ll want.”
The Film
Beware! This review contains some spoilers.
As I wrote in my full review here back in November when the musical comedy was released in theatres, I have been singing the praises of Disney’s latest animated classic. Yes, I’m using the word “classic” already. While using “classic” so soon after premiering is left up to debate, I have no doubt that families and film fans a decade from now will still be pulling out Tangled to watch in their living rooms or on their mobile devices. What makes this film so entertaining? Let me count the ways.
First we must look at Tangled‘s roots. It’s based on the legendary Rapunzel story, but adapted to meet what audiences are looking for.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
The last decade hasn’t been especially kind to the Disney animation fan. The annual triumphs of the folks at Pixar aside, the in-house output of Walt Disney Animation Studios has been lacklustre as the once dominant studio have struggled to remain relevant in the Toy Story inspired age of computer animation. Prior to this year, the 2002 film Lilo & Stitch was probably their last genuinely good feature. Then, after the commercial disasters of Treasure Planet and Home on the Range, Disney began making their own forgettable computer animations: Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons and Bolt.
Things seemed bleak until, last year, Disney restored a lot of faith with The Princess and the Frog – a return to the type of hand-drawn animated musical which defined the 90s renaissance – which did well with critics and at the box office. Given this success, it seemed a shame that their next film Tangled,...

As the holiday season approaches and Thanksgiving has passed, we can all give our thanks to Walt Disney Animation Studios for producing the 50th feature, and perhaps one of the best in the past decade. Tangled serves as a milestone in number, but also in quality. This edition of the Mouse House will cover a review of the comedy’s plot, an analysis of the film’s development and marketing, and my thoughts on what Tangled means for Disney.
A loose retelling of the famous Rapunzel story – which, surprisingly, has never served the plot of a mainstream Hollywood film – Tangled follows the “kidnapping” of the magical princess with 70 feet of golded hair by the evil Mother Gothel (voiced deliciously by Broadway’s Donna Murphy). Early on we learn that Gothel took the young girl for her own, as Rapunzel (the talented Mandy Moore) possessed magical powers that allowed anyone in...

With little promotion or fanfare prior to its release, it’s easy to assume that Tangled might be a lower tier Disney product dropped into theatres to fill a Thanksgiving family movie void. Thankfully, viewers will be in for quite a pleasant surprise, as the film turns out to be a well-crafted take on the Rapunzel story buoyed by two standout characters… both of whom utter not a single line of dialogue.
After a humorously egotistical thief Flynn Ryder (voiced by Zachary Levi) steals a priceless crown, he finds himself on the run from the Captain of the Guard (M.C. Gainey). Fleeing into the wilderness, he discovers a looming tower and, upon entering, quickly is bested by a surprisingly pro-active Rapunzel (Mandy Moore).
Contrary to fairy tale tradition, Rapunzel has no idea that she is actually a princess kidnapped at birth by the evil Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy). She’s also oblivious that Gothel,...

Hard to believe but in the mid 1980′s the animation department at the Disney Studios was in danger of being shut down. The recent documentary Waking Sleeping Beauty shows the turmoil there after their big release, The Black Cauldron, tanked at the box office. Luckily the animation division was able to pull itself up by returning to classic fairy tales and hiring the team of Alan Menkin and the late, great Howard Ashman (fresh from their stage truimph “Little Shop of Horrors”) to inject some big show tunes into them. Soon Disney animation was back on top with the hat trick of The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin. Now after having great success with Pixar’s films, Disney is making an attempt to revive the musical fairy tale with Tangled. Will it be a return to their former glories or will it croak at the box office...

For an animated, big-budget Disney film like “Tangled,” there’s a surprising amount of death metal and explicit sexual lyrics.
Ok, we’re kidding. You can guess the reality though when Mandy Moore stars in a Disney updating of the classic Brothers Grimm tale “Rapunzel.”
While still maintaining an airy, happy-go-lucky vibe throughout, the “Tangled” soundtrack mainly eschews pop songs and divides its length equally among Alen Menken’s score and something more approximating the soundtrack to a Broadway musical.
Moore, predictably, handles the bulk of the vocals and her performances on “When Will My Life Begin?” and “Healing Incantation” will please any 8-year-old girl (or strange boy). Her powerful, yet sing-songy, timbre is well-suited for this role, though Donna Murphy (as Mother Gothel) and Zachary Levi (as Rapunzel paramour Flynn Rider) admirably hold their own.
