Green is good
Last night the Mrs & I went to see Shrek 2 at our local cinema - taking advantage of Orange's 2 for 1 deal in the process. I don't think my mobile phone provider need anymore publicity than they already get, but suffice to say it made for a very good value evening's entertainment and is something we both intend to do again.

As far as the film goes, it certainly managed to keep us both entertained throughout, with its well written plot, and knowing film references (Spiderman, The Matrix, From Here to Eternity to name three) it provided a very pleasant way to spend an evening.

Antonio Banderas' Puss in Boots makes for an excellent addition to the cast, and his doe-eyed cat did it's best to steal every scene it was in.

If I was feeling harsh, I might pick up on the use of Kate Thornton to replace Joan Rivers in the UK release, or the fact that at times I felt the animators were showing off for the sake of it (Look we can do hair, rain, and reflections in water, aren't we cool?) But in all honesty, these are minor gripes in what was otherwise a worthy sequel to the original.

So it's the thumbs up for Shrek 2.

Go. See. It's worth it.
