Awww - Puss in Boots Spinoff in the Works!

"How many cats can wear boots? Honestly!" - Shrek, Shrek 2

I know many people love Donkey in the Shrek movies, but my heart belongs to Puss in Boots, "the feline assassin/swordsman" voiced hilariously by Antonio Banderas. So this news delights me: There's a Puss in Boots movie spinoff in the works, and it just got TV writer Tom Wheeler to do the script.

No plot details yet, but I don't care. I could watch Puss - and the gingerbread man! - for hours. I certainly prefer this movie to yet another Shrek installment (the fourth is set to hit theaters in May of 2010). What do you think about a Puss in Boots movie? Totally adorable? Or unoriginal? To watch some of my favorite Puss moments, read more.

TV Tonight: Shrek the Halls

BuzzSugar — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 08:30:00 -0800

It's not even a week since Thanksgiving, but Christmas special season is well underway on ABC. The network aired the classic Charlie Brown Christmas on Tuesday, and tonight brings our first look at the newest animated holiday special, Shrek the Halls.

The whole original Shrek gang - including Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz - is around for this half-hour special, which finds Shrek struggling to get into the holiday spirit. Who would have known Shrek wasn't much for decked halls and mistletoe? Of course, Donkey, Puss in Boots and the rest of the clan will rally the silly ogre into yuletide shape before the end of the half-hour. Maybe this will turn out to be a holiday classic - but even if it's not, we can recover by watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas immediately after. (Pushing Daisies follows at 9 p.m., while Private Practice takes the night off.)

Will you be tuning in for Shrek's take on the Christmas season? You can check out a preview of the special on ABC's site.

What's Buzzworthy: Airplane Movies

BuzzSugar — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 11:00:00 -0700

Last week, I challenged you to tell me some of the best airplane movies that have kept you entertained on long trips. Sounds like a few of you have had some good in-flight watching recently! Here were a few of my favorite picks:

Titanic
Bookmarked by tdamji, who wrote: "Not only is this 3 hour+ movie great for in-flight-movie-watching due to the great musical score and romantic qualities which can easily transport anyone to another time and place, but it brings back memories for me because I remember watching it during the 8 hour flight to England, my first overseas trip, which was my high school graduation present in 1998."

Uptown Girls
Menthadict checked this one out from 30,000 feet. She wrote: "A charming, entertaining movie about a girl who grew up too quickly and a girl who hasn't grown up at all. A little music, a little shirtless man, all in all, a nice flick to watch."

Two more, plus a widget with all your picks, so read more

Shrek
This original that launched a thousand sequels was tagged by CupcakeGal10, who called it "fluffy and fanciful, with plenty of sneaky grown-up jokes to keep you giggling. I thought I was going to hate it, but I loved it!"

My Dog Skip
Linda McP tagged this one. She said: "My family laughed when I put my headphones on, but I was determined to watch this film and I wasn't disappointed . While It is a real tear-jerker of a family film, it's so much more than just another "boy-and-dog" movie. Diane Lane and Kevin Bacon are well cast as the parents and the adorable Jack Russell terrier, Skip, is just a real scene stealer."

What's Buzzworthy? Animated Family Movies

BuzzSugar — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 11:30:00 -0700

This Friday, Ratatouille hits theaters nationwide, and I can't wait. I'm a sucker for anything Pixar, and I've loved many of the animated family movies that have come out in recent years - especially The Incredibles and the Shrek movies. I'll go to the theaters to see these movies even when I don't have a child (read: legitimate excuse) to bring with me.

What about you? Will you see animated family movies, even without a kid? Did you watch Finding Nemo on ABC last night like I did? Use Buzzsugar's cool bookmarking tool to bookmark your own and tag them with the phrase animated family movies. I'll post some readers' picks here next week.

Movie Preview: Shrek the Third

BuzzSugar — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 13:35:43 -0800

The Moviefone website describes the newest Shrek movie, coming out May 18, like this:

Shrek, Donkey, Puss In Boots and Fiona are back for another fun-and-pun-filled adventure, and this time they're joined by Captain Hook, Sir Lancelot and ... Justin Timberlake as King Arthur?! Long story short: Get ready for some 'Sexyback,' medieval-style.

I'm sorry, but it just seems wrong to merge an animated children's character with the words "Sexyback" and "medieval-style." Regardless, the Shrek the Third trailer was just released today, so check it out.

Zach Galifianakis - Love Him or Leave Him?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:30:00 -0800

What is up with the Zach Galifianakis fame train?! After this Summer's The Hangover, I keep hearing his name. He's already invaded Sunday nights on HBO's Bored to Death, and he has a slew of upcoming films, including a comedy with Robert Downey Jr. and a dramedy opposite Amy Adams. Now, he's reportedly picking up an animated film credit, too, lending his voice to Humpty Dumpty in the Shrek spinoff Puss in Boots.

Could Galifianakis be the next Will Ferrell? Seems like a worthy successor to me - then again, you already knew that I'm a fan of his. Tell me how you feel: love him or leave him?
