"Shrek": Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) is a hideous green ogre, so ugly that his own parents can't stand the sight of him. That doesn't bother Shrek, whose self-esteem is not the least bit affected by his frightful appearance.

"Widow of St. Pierre": Based on real events that transpired in 19th-century French Canada, "Widow" is the tale of a fisherman sentenced to death for killing a man in a brawl.

As the man awaits his fate, he redeems himself by providing valuable services throughout the town, and the townspeople begin to look upon him favorably. Starring Juliette Binoche, Daniel Auteuil, Emir Kusturica, Michel Duchaussoy, Philippe Magnan, Christian Charmetant. Opens tomorrow at Varsity Twin. (R).
