It was very green last night at the Academy of TV Arts & Sciences for the ASIFA screening of Shrek the Third.





All the food was green. The bright green chips I could get behind but the very, very green cheese and the acid green drink made me fearful. Shrek is German for fear and anyway I wasn`t here to eat.



A capacity crowd filed in to see the latest in the Shrek franchise. I am not a big sequel fan but I was pleasantly surprised with a more character driven plot and a move away from the one gag after another machine gun approach that marked Shrek and Shrek II.

I liked it more than Shrek II that suffered from too many copycat films doing send ups of the very popular original Shrek.

I need a few more viewings before I can decide how close I judge it to the high water mark of that original Shrek movie. It always is a good sign if I can`t wait to get back in the theatre after seeing a film.



Jerry Beck lead a question and answer session after the screening.




Director / Writer Chris Miller



and Productor / Writer Aron Warner answered a group of insightful questions from a knowledgeable industry crowd.



And I got a free Donkey mask. Who could ask for more?
