Ebert & Roeper: 5-22-04

Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper reviews "Shrek 2" (The Best Sequel of the entire film franchise from DreamWorks! And it's still hilarious! Not to mention, "Puss in Boots" is cute and heroic! Starring: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Julie Andrews, John Cleese and Rupert Everett.); "Stateside" (Featuring the late, great Val Kilmer as of 2025 in this dreary Marine Comedy/Drama. Also stars Joe Mantegna, Paul Le Mat, Rachel Leigh Cook, Jonathan Tucker, Agnes Bruckner, Diane Venora, the late, great Carrie Fisher and Ed Begley, Jr.); "Saved!" (A Delightful Religious Teen Satirical Comedy with Jena Malone, Chad Faust, Mary-Louise Parker, Mandy Moore and Macaulay Culkin (in his second comeback after "Party Monster" and somehow stopped after this. Leading to "BunnyEars" on the internet and make appearances on RedLetterMedia and AVGN! Go figure!); "Baadasssss!" (What a crazy title to be said on TV with Mario Van Peebles stars in a terrific biographical/homage to his father, Melvin with his film, "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song" (1971).) and "Twist".

Thumbs Up Video: Their picks are "Lord of the Rings: The Return to the King"; "Stay Hungry"; "The Weather Underground"; "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song"; "The Great Escape" and "Miracle".
