Film
New this week: Shrek Forever After (**1/2). The third sequel in the behemoth DreamWorks Animation franchise offers an "alternate reality" scenario and introduces a mad Rumpelstiltskin with a
band of witches.
Voices of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy. PG (scary dragon, intense action, fairy tale flippancy).
