It's not easy being green...

Nope, this review has nothing to do with Kermit the Frog. I'll be reviewing Shrek the Third (2007). I'm going to make this one quick.

Shrek doesn't want to be king, so he has to find the only other heir to the throne. This turns out to be whiny Artie (voiced by Justin Timberlake). Prince Charming is the villain (who is also really annoying). Pretty much, there's 40% good old Shrek, 50% annoying Artie and Charming, and 10% obnoxious happy ending. When I say obnoxious, I definitely mean it. Uber obnoxious.

This is the worst of the 4 Shrek movies.

Shrek the Third runs 93 minutes and is rated PG. I give it 4 ramheads out of 10.

"In the world of cons...Eddie's a Pro"

I found the tag line for Dana Carvey's 1990 film Opportunity Knocks to be too good to pass up as a title to the said film's review. This cheesy film wasn't all bad (but I wouldn't consider it good either.)

Dana Carvey essentially plays himself (named Eddie) as a funny, extremely lucky con man who falls in love with his victim. This causes problems. There are a lot of cheesy moments. Also, the popping music is a little obnoxious. The acting is average.

The theme is very confused. It wants to be a comedy, but turns into a romantic redemption movie. Yup.

All in all, this movie is cheesy. Hands down.

It runs 103 minutes and is rated PG-13. I give it a better-than-expected 5 ramheads out of 10.

New layout, jimmypautz.com 2.0

Just an explanation for the layout: The field background is mean to feel like an outdoor movie screen, with my banner as screen. I've also maximized the content, condensing the 2 sidebars into one and moving the lists of reviews into separate pages (accessible through the tabs) from the sidebar. I've changed from green-overload color screen to white and green and red and gold. It feels more elegant (to me at least).

If you have any more comments, please help!

New layout...you like?

So I decided to change the layout. Do you like it? What do you think?

Jolly Green G--Ogre, #4

Here's my super-quick review of Skrek Forever After (2010). Shrek has a moment of weakness (and alcohol). He makes a deal which changes everything for the worse unless he can fix it. A classic, "don't-know-what-you've-got-'til-it's-gone" theme. Pretty entertaining humor. Shrek. 4. The end.

Decent entertaining movie with minimal lasting impression. Not as good as the first, but on par or better than 2 or 3. It runs 93 minutes and is rated PG. I give it 6 out of 10 ramheads.
