The Shrek franchise drove itself into the ground after three sequels, so perhaps the only way to go forward was a spin-off. And it’s true that one of the best things about Puss in Boots – the fifth film in the franchise – is that it never feels like a Shrek movie. The film follows the feline character (voiced by Antonio Banderas) in a stand-alone adventure. But even though it’s not beating you over the head with pop-culture references, it does feel like is something that was originally meant to be a direct to video title.

Another Shrek, another chance to see your favorite animated characters and another chance to be reminded of the genius that was the first film, without this being the first film. The problem with this entire series is that it started with a bang, fell to a whimper, and with it’s grand finale is simply enough to make up for how much it’s lost without really ever wow-ing us. Shrek Forever After is a good movie, they were creative in finding a way to make the characters fresh again, and there were definitely enough laughs in it to leave me satisfied, BUT it wasn’t without a few problems. But lets starts at the top…

Written and directed by Richard Eyre, The Other Man features both the melodramatics and the realities of an international love triangle between Laura Linney, Antonio Banderas, and Liam Neeson.
Due to recent circumstances Neeson was unable to join the interview, but luckily we had the opportunity to sit down with both Linney and Banderas – they couldn’t have been a more personable duo.

It doesn’t even have a title yet, but based on the casting so far, Woody Allen‘s next project looks promising.
King of suave Antonio Banderas is confirmed for the cast Allen’s so-far untitled 2010 film. Plot details are still under wraps (damn you Allen and your mysterious tendencies!), so we don’t know what role the Spanish actor will play, but I hope Allen gives him a gun.

Will Smith may be joining the Oldboy remake with Steven Spielberg. According to Varity “Spielberg had been looking for an opportunity to make a film with Smith.” Apparently they found a film to remake. The film will be based of Chan Wook-park’s 2003 film Oldboy, which is a story about a man that gets kidnapped and held in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation. Suddenly, he’s released and mysteriously given everything he needs to get his revenge. All they’re waiting on now is a writer and approval for the rights.
Antonio Banderas is in talks to joing the cast Simon West’s Salvador Dali indie film. Apparently, he isn’t the only one talking about Dali right now. Variety reports: “At least two other Dali biopics are in the works: Al Pacino is attached to play the artist in ‘Dali & I: The Surreal Story,’ with Andrew Niccol directing; and ‘Twilight’s’ Robert Pattinson stars as Dali in the upcoming ‘Little Ashes,’ which chronicles the young life and loves of the painter as well as filmmaker Luis Bunuel and writer Federico Garcia Lorca.” Which Dali will win!
