    Austin Powers - Goldmember - a review

    This movie was damn funny! I think most people know what to expect when they go see an Austin Powers movie, and in that respect, Goldmember keeps to that tradition while keeping alive the pure fun of the sight gags which had me ROTLMAMFAO. The opening 5 minutes were definitely very funny (I'm so glad I knew of it), and got the movie off to a good start. The rest of the movie had a very paperthin plot, but no one goes to Austin Power movies for plot, they go for laughs and attitude, and this movie has it in spades.

    I will add that I thought Beyonce Knowles did a nice job, and had good screen presence (was not awkward, and didn't seem out of place at all).

    I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.

    I understand this film did 71.5 million for its opening weekend. Nothing to sneeze at.

        In time for Halloween -- Scary Movie 3
        by Burke Strickland
        Scary Movie 3 (SM3) is solidly in the bad-taste-is funny, sight-gags-galore spoof-a-rama tradition of Airplane! (the same director did both). Unlike Scary Movie 2, which was a tired re-hash of the "original" Scary Movie, (which I enjoyed), SM3 treads new ground, parodying not just horror flicks...

        I laughed my a$$ off for $5.99

        You know, sometimes, you just have a hunch, you pick up a DVD, regardless of price, and say, yeah, this looks interesting. Now, I didn't judge it on cinimatography, I didn't judge it on acting. I just judged it on good laughs, quirky plot turns, and in the end feeling pretty good having watched it....
