    ‘Tangled’
    You’re not going to confuse “Tangled” for a Pixar movie, but this Disney CGI flick riffing on the fairy tale of Rapunzel is a heck of an adventure. The two charismatic leads — longhaired Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) and dashing ne’er-do-well Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi) — are great additions to the storied collection of Disney heroes. “Tangled” marks another exciting entry in the House of Mouse’s rejuvenated animated catalog. (DVD, $29.99; DVD/Blu-ray Combo, $39.99; Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD combo, $49.99)

    ‘One Week’
    “Fringe” star Joshua Jackson heads up this Canadian indie gem as a teacher diagnosed with cancer right before his wedding. He sets off on a motorcycle adventure across the Great White North on an adventure rife with self-discovery and offbeat encounters. Capping it all off is awesome narration from Campbell Scott. Seek this one out. (DVD, $24.98)
