  • Tangled Film Production Notes
    FINAL PRODUCTION NOTES October 20, 2010 RELEASE DATE: 6 JANUARY, 2011 Rated : (PG) Consumer Advice : Mild animated violence. Running Time : 100mins PRODUCTION NOTES 1 FINAL PRODUCTION NOTES October 20, 2010 Walt Disney Pictures presents “Tangled,” one of the most hilarious, hair-raising tales ever told. When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit, Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi), hides out in a mysterious tower, he’s taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn’s curious captor, who’s looking for her ticket out of the tower where she’s been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief, and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse (named Maximus), an over-protective chameleon (named Pascal), and a gruff gang of pub thugs. Also featured in the talented vocal ensemble is two-time Tony® Award winner Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel. Ron Perlman lends his voice to a Stabbington Brother, one of Flynn’s double-crossed partners in crime, and Jeffrey Tambor and Brad Garrett provide the voices of two of the thugs Flynn and Rapunzel encounter along the way. “‘Tangled’ is so full of hilarious characters, but it also has tremendous action and a lot of heart,” says John Lasseter, chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. “We wanted to create a unique world and story that evoke the rich, dramatic feeling that is classically Disney, but is also fresh and humorous, and that gives the audience something it has never seen before in computer animation.

  • Movie Recommendation: Last Vegas by Edward J. Walters, Jr
    Movie Recommendation: Last Vegas By Edward J. Walters, Jr. Aging pals Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert De Niro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline) have been best friends since childhood — The Flatbush Four. Fifty-eight years later, Sam has retired with his wife to Naples, Fla., Archie is living with his son in New Jersey, Paddy lives alone in Brooklyn after his wife died, and Billy is wealthy and living in Malibu with a woman less than half his age. When Billy finally proposes to his much-younger girlfriend, all four friends go to Las Vegas for a bachelor party to celebrate the end of Billy’s longtime bachelorhood and relive their glory days. They — and Vegas — have changed over the years. The movie, Last Vegas, gives all of its actors — all heavyweights and Oscar winners — real moments that send a message, each one different. Mary Steenburgen (also an Oscar winner) plays a quick-witted lounge singer who makes the movie work. In my humble opinion, it is a wonderful movie — not just a “guy flick” or even an “old guy flick.” It’s a “must see.” Edward J. Walters, Jr., a partner in the Baton Rouge firm of Walters, Papillion, Thomas, Cullens, L.L.C., is the chair of the LSBA Senior Lawyers Division and editor of the e-newsletter, Seasoning. He is a former Louisiana State Bar Association secretary and a former editor-in- chief of the Louisiana Bar Journal. He currently is a member of the Journal’s Editorial Board.

  • There's Life After 70: a Review of ‘Last Vegas’ by Michael Friedman, L.M.S.W
    There's Life After 70: A Review of ‘Last Vegas’ By Michael Friedman, L.M.S.W. Posted: 11/19/2013 6:50 am I have been looking forward to seeing Last Vegas since I saw the trailer for it as a coming attraction at RED 2--a wonderful movie about old spies who are "retired", and "extremely dangerous". Old farts like me having a bachelor party in Vegas with lots of buxom babes in bikinis, what could be better? (For those of you too young to know, "buxom" means big boobs.) But as my wife and I were walking (slowly) to the theatre downtown, I occurred to me that it could be a disaster. Old farts with infirmities like me behaving like 20- somethings, what could be worse? I kept remembering Morgan Freeman's line in TV ads for the movie. A childhood friend (Michael Douglas) tells him that he is about to marry a woman who is 32. "32?," Freeman's character gasps, "I have a hemorrhoid that's over 32." Hmm, worth a little smile maybe, but certainly not a belly laugh. Would the movie turn out to be lots of cheap shots about the infirmities of old age and the desire to be young again? I'm happy to say that it is not a series of cheap shots, though there are a few. And, yes, the old farts have young eyes and drool a bit at the sight of the babes in bikinis (even managing at one point to become the judges of a bikini contest at the hotel pool).
