So yeah, Shrek.

You remember Shrek?

It's Shrek.

It's back in cinemas.

This is its seventh week of release and it's still in the top 10, so it's done terrifically well.

Total box office at the moment looks like, wow.

Yeah, it's taken a huge amount of money.

It's just not very good.

Yeah, I mean, I absolutely loved it.

I think you said it was almost certainly one of your films of the year.

Whether or not it is remembered when awards season comes around nine months from now remains to be seen.

But certainly, I mean...

I think the performance by Ian McKellen and Michele Cole are terrific.

And Ian McKellen said in that interview that the writer had said that they had written it for those two actors.

And he said, well, I'm not sure that I believe it about me, but I certainly believe it about Michaela.

I can't imagine anyone other than those two doing it.

So when you say they're on the same listing, you mean they're on the same bill?

You buy a ticket for both films?

Number five is Mortal Kombat 2, which I enjoyed, and I thought it was good, fun.

I think it was an interesting adaptation of a video game.
