Colin Farrell Looking Damn Near Perfect As Crockett

Shrek sidekick Puss In Boots gets his own movie
John CampeaNews ChatShrek 2 was good, but let's face it, it was nowhere near as good as Shrek. At least not until the action really started, then the original feeling really started coming through for me. One thing that ...

Quentin Tarantino to direct CSI season finale
