Taking a small segment from “Saturday Night Live” and making it into a full-length feature takes a lot of ingenuity, imagination and money, all three of which are accomplished with the very funnyt MacGruber. The hilarious adult comedy hits the screen with a bang and provides a very funny hour and twenty-eight minutes of entertainment. The target audience for MacGruber is adult males and best viewed with a group of them.
When documentaries like Casino Jack and the United States of Money get released, I look for the motive. In this new film by Alex Gibney (won an Oscar for his documentary film Taxi to the Dark Side) we find a political satire on the level of Director Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko).
That funny, rebellious and feisty ogre has a new adventure and it’s pretty darn good. Laden with funny comments, snappy dialogue and a decent script, Shrek Forever After is fun for adults and the rest of the family. Oh. You thought Shrek was only for kids? Well guess again, as this forth edition of the crazy life of green swamp ogre goes straight for adults and achieves its goal with just reward. The kids you ask, they’ll be too busy laughing at Shreklets (I just invented the word. It means a baby Shrek; ogerlets just doesn’t work for me) burps, donkey complaints, an overweight cat, wicked witches and much, much more. You can bet your Chimichangas the whole family will love it.
As a co-production in their unique partnership, Random House Inc.’s Random House Films division and Focus Features are developing the adventure thriller The Tiger, which Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga (Babel) is adapting for producer Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler) and his Protozoa Pictures from John Vaillant’s upcoming nonfiction book The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival.

Ladies, if you are looking for romance with a touch of sports so you can get that significant other out to the movies, check out Queen Latifah’s newest flick Just Wright. With this film, even men who shy away from a film that even hints chick flick will enjoy the fun filled story and a close look at the world of basketball.
This isn’t the way I remember the adventurous rob from the rich and give to the poor Robin Hood or Sherwood Forrest’s Merry Men for that matter, but the action, direction and admirable acting make for a good film. The only concerns I have are the length of the movie, the clouding of the original myth and some jumpy camera work combined with scenes that came out of nowhere that do distract. If you like a lot of action and enjoy Ridley Scott films (Gladiator, American Gangster and Black Hawk Down) then mount up and Robin’s Merry Men.
