'Alice Through the Looking Glass': Growing up is a complicated thing
Nothing is sacred anymore, but there really should be limits — even for Disney. "Alice Through the Looking Glass" is the sequel to Tim Burton's somewhat disastrous "Alice in Wonderland" (2010), which is where they really should have drawn the line. I regret to report that things in Wonderland have gotten considerably worse since Alice's last excursion down the rabbit hole. Lewis Carroll, who is credited here as one of the writers (the other is Disney's prolific in-house scribe Linda Woolverton), is likely turning over in his grave to look for a stiff drink.

Into the Woods: 'mashed up Brothers Grimm and hammy performances'
The fairy-tale reboot trend continues with "Into the Woods," Disney's big-screen version of the Stephen Sondheim musical that debuted on Broadway in 1987. Set in and around a creepy forest that looks like a leftover "Harry Potter" stage, "Into the Woods" mashes up a bunch of well-known Brothers Grimm tales with some hammy A-list performances by the likes of Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp.
