Thoughts: After the King Harold falls ill and passes away, Shrek (Mike Myers) is left to rule Far, Far Away land. Dreading the news, Shrek looks for a way out by getting a family member to rule - cousin Arthur (Justin Timberlake). Oh and Fiona (Cameron Diaz) is pregnant. This sequel was beyond pointless and pretty tiresome. It was not witty and clever as the first two and the use of Damien Rice’s 9 Crimes song during one scene weird me out. On the plus side, the sequence with the Gingerbread Man losing his mind was pretty awesome. I can’t believe they are making a four, actually more like I wish they weren’t.
(M) Valentin. (Alejandro Agresti, 2002) Grade: B
Thoughts: Valentin (Rodrigo Noya) is an eight year old boy who just wants a family of his own. His mom left when he was young, his dad is never around because he is working and his grandmother is getting old. The film was sweet and touching. The boy that played Valentin was very charming.
(M) Mecaniques Celestes (Celestial Clockwork). (Fina Torres, 1995) Grade: C+
Thoughts: A modern day Cinderella story set in Paris with a Latin American vibe. The film was all over the place introducing new themes and ideas. I enjoyed it but I can see myself forgetting all about film in few months because there was nothing too memorable.
Movie Count: 49
