Newsflash, in case you didn’t figure it out by now: SHREK 2 is now in theaters. Just in case the 42.7 commercial spots per hour didn’t clue you in. Or the visages of Fiona and Donkey giving you the evil eye every time you step into the Post Office…

THE PUNISHER is the latest in a long line of Marvel films; movies based on some of the more popular Marvel Comic properties. To date we’ve seen Spider-man swing from skyscrapers and into action, we’ve seen Blade slice and dice his way through thick groups of blood thirty vampires, and we’ve seen the Hulk go ape shit, destroying everything in his path…
