Puss in Boots

It might be tough to get excited about a spinoff of the Shrek franchise, but at least in the case of Puss in Boots, Antonio Banderas — voicing the titular kitty — sounds like he's having a ball (of yarn) (I had to, guys). And at least this tertiary Shrek character has a little charm; we very well could have gotten a Gingerbread Man movie, and for all the money we've given DreamWorks for Shreks over the years, we would have deserved it.

TRAILERS OF THE WEEK

Trailers of the Week: The Bourne Legacy, Premium Rush, The Expendables 2, and More

By Rembert Browne and Dan Silver at

The Bourne Legacy (August 3)

Silver: For as good as the Bourne films are, they inexplicably always seem to get lost in the shuffle of summer movie marketing. So I was treating The Bourne Legacy just like I did the previous three, as a film that was just going to magically appear to be the perfect late-summer, high-quality digestif after a long summer of gorging on sugary and fatty cinematic fair.

Until now. I just circled August 3 on my calendar in red marker.
