Thanks to the critical and commercial success of the first two “Shrek” movies, DreamWorks worked on a third installment of the series known as, “Shrek the Third.” Following the announcements of big threequels “Spider-Man 3,” “The Bourne Ultimatum” & “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” Jeffrey Katzenberg ordered the Cast and Crew to work […]

Flashback Review: Daredevil: Director’s Cut

In the mid ’90s, superhero movies started to fade in terms of quality. DC Comics based movies such as “Steel” & “Batman and Robin” almost made movie goers walk away from the genre.
