Shrek Forever After
A Critique Challenge entry
Shrek 4 isn't a bad movie, just a very disjointed one.
The only way for it to make any kind of sense is to throw out all the Character Growth and Plot Development of the three movies that came before it.
A better title would have been: "Shrek's Midlife Crisis"

My Coworker, Death
Death and I work very closely, but never together I see death in passing about once a week, but we've never actually met. For most people death is an obscure thought, something that rarely crosses the mind. For others, it is the prominent shadow that runs past our peripherals. Tonight, death worked over time. He was not a blur that ran past as I was turning away, but was a prominent shadow in the room I stood in and the floor beneath me. I didn't see him at first, he's easy to miss if you want to. My focus was on the muddy veins of my patient's right arm, attempting to finagle one last good one to draw from. It was never my forte, but when I did get it, I enjoyed watching the smooth red liquid collect into the tubes; the simple movement of it was relaxing to me in a sense. It was a reward, an earning for my blind pokes that eventually caught what I was looking for.

What is Black Friday?
So, what is Black Friday? This is a day set aside for the first day of the Christmas Shopping days. The day after Thanksgiving we all seem to rush out to the many sales that the stores are putting on in order for us to try and save on all the big-ticket items that may or may not be Christmas presents for whomever. Always in a way will be a Day of Infamy.

Gold, Red Berries, Rosemary, and a Lilac-Colored Vine
White-capped mountain peaks were the highest things, scraping along the underside of the still blue sky. They surrounded my village. I’d stare up at them and wonder how high they really went. Though I could see the tops of them from here, I knew I didn’t truly understand their height.

I honestly don’t remember part four very well … but that image if them all together made me happy! 😁 Uh nostalgia!
Brilliant critique!!! Love it!!!
Lol, midlife crisis! Loved your review!
Sometimes, we push things a little (or a lot) too far in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
It was not a good for a children ‘s animation, show. It was very dark for younger children to understand.
Yeah it wasn't the best movie, was it. You putt a lot of information in 50 words. Nicely done.
