While I enjoyed the first Shrek, I must say the sequels are only getting worse. Shrek 2 certainly contained some of the charm and edgier family fare that the first executed so nicely, but Shrek the Third was just boring and stumbled over itself. Now we have a plot synopsis that helpful blogger Alex Litel stumbled upon via some sort of copyright registration website for the fourth installment of the unconventional fairy tale franchise. Actual page (of copyright site) cannot be found now, but luckily he copied the synopsis to his site.

Shrek Goes Fourth - After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving your in-laws' kingdom, what's an ogre to do? Well, if you're Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. What's happened to this ogre's roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a "real ogre," Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumplestiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumplestiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it's up to Shrek to undo all he's done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love.

While the Shrek series isn't as fresh as it started out, their plots are usually top notch, but the writing has been less than remarkable. I just don't know how long Mike Myers can be mediocre before he implodes upon himself either. Hopefuly his turn in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds will help. Will you see Shrek Goes Fourth?

"You haven't seen war until you've seen it through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino."

That about sums up the trailer for Quentin Tarantino's eagerly awaited war film Inglourious Basterds. And no that's not a typo. Plot synopsis: During World War II a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers."

The film stars Brad Pitt, in a role quite unlike any other he's played before, commanding a great cast of his soldiers (including B.J. Novak from The Office and Samm Levine from Freaks and Geeks) as they go on a warpath trying to take down the Nazi stronghold in Germany.

This trailer is as fun as hell, and I'm even more interested to see what role Mike Myers plays in the film. Check it out below.
