THE SQUARE Sometimes it takes a stuntman to show Hollywood how to do everything better.

MACGRUBER Surprise! MacGruber is great! (Suck it, Pat and Stuart.)

SHREK FOREVER AFTER They’re claiming that this will be the last one. Yeah, right. (Also, if you lost a bet and you’re planning on inflicting Shrek 4 upon yourself, you might want to start saving up.)

MOTHER AND CHILD At long last, a film that shows us just how fucked up and worthless adoption is. Hey, wait a minute!

THE EXPLODING GIRL Once again, a boring-sounding movie has a totally awesome-sounding title.

PRINCESS KAIULANI Eh, not bad. Not great, either.

And while it’s playing on HBO instead of in theaters, THE LAZARUS EFFECT is the latest from Lance Bangs. Sarah says it’s definitely worth checking out. (Check out her complete interview with Bangs, too.)

More, as ever, in our Film Shorts and Movie Times.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.

  1. I’m going to buy a plane ticket to New York so I can stand outside of the “IMAX” theaters showing Shrek and beat people in the face for $20.

    It’s basically the same experience as watching the movie, except with me you get that special “human connection.”

  2. PAC you have to do it with the mask on. I’ll give you $20 tonight if you promise to do it with the mask on.

    Oh, and it has to be filmed.

  3. PAC, your t-shirt also needs to contain Shrek levels of product placement too. Maybe a giant Portland Mercury logo on the front and a Burger King logo on the back?
