Body: Call them what you will: hero support, tag-a-longs, sniveling assistants; sidekicks are an essential archetype throughout the literary and filmic representations of heroes over the course of our history. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, Inspector Gadget and Penny, Batman and Robin, sidekicks come in all shapes and sizes. The little blue fish that wouldn't shut up, Cory from Finding Nemo definitely ranks rather high on my list of sidekicks. Straddling the line between ultra-lovable and incredibly annoying, Cory helped catapult Finding Nemo onto countless top ten lists the year it was released. If there is one thing that made Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull not work for me was the replacement of the incredible Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with the whiny wannabe Mutt. With his constant thieving, lightning fast comebacks and general flare for equaling Indiana Jones screen presence, Short Round deserves a top spot on my list. And lastly Mini-Me. Oh, Mini-Me, so adorable yet so menacing. With his obscene gestures and ability to say so much without saying anything at all, Mini-Me from Austin Powers is truly an indelible sidekick that will not be soon forgotten. So this week, let's give it up for the sidekicks!

Body: Jumpin' Jack Flash Definitely a classic espionage themed film. :) I do really like the film, especially Whoopi Goldberg in her element. The Net Almost more of a chase / escape thriller, but the overlying theme is about rogue corporate hackers spying on the government and the American populace. Get Smart I'm just kinda eh about this flick. Didn't really do anything for me. Was a little too Charlie's Angels meets Austin Powers with nothing new to offer. Maybe I just need to take a vacation from Steve Carrell.

Body: Probably one of my favorite and least annoying uses of breaking the fourth wall is Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer were hilarious and the entire movie is Robert Downey Jr.'s characters talking to the audience and disrupting the film. In terms of comedies, there is of course Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Wayne's World, The Mask and I'm pretty sure all of the Austin Powers films too. Along the lines of A Clockwork Orange and that creepy omniscient look directly into the camera, there is the end of Psycho where I always felt like Norman Bates was looking right at me; the end of Magnolia where Melora Walters character is being confronted by John C. Reilly's character and finally looks straight into the camera and smiles; and the end of The Devil's Advocate when Al Pacino as the Devil says that line about pride being his favorite sin and winks at the camera.

Body: Since Mike Myers latest abomina... I mean, character, “The Love Guru,” is rather fond of acronyms for followers in his self-help dynasty, let me sum up his film accordingly. Those expecting even the slightest twinkle of comedy from “Wayne's World” or “Austin Powers” are in for a lot of “Crotch References and Agonizing Puns.” If you are a big fan of “Funnies from Anally Released Thunder” jokes or a focus on “Woefully Aggrandizing Narcissism Guffaws,” then “The Love Guru” is right down your darkened alley. In fact, anything below the belt is the go-to source of snickers for Myers here. With the subtlety of a toddler discovering his genitalia for the first time, Myers seems fixated south of the equator, offering more crotch-centric comedy in 90 minutes than Adam Sandler's entire résumé. Myers star as the eponymous self-help expert with aspirations on becoming America's next top spiritual advisor. To do this, he must appear on Oprah like his rival, Deepak Chopra. And to do this, he must reunite a hockey player with his estranged wife. It should be noted that the athlete is played by Romany Malco, a black comedian, because, you know, a black man playing hockey is apparently hilarious in Myers comedy playbook. The team is owned by one Jane Bullard (played with tapioca intensity by one Jessica Alba), who Pitka warms up to in a romantic way. Pitka lives a comfortable life in his Los Angeles ashram. Pitka an American child raised (for no real apparent reason) by an Eastern guru (Ben Kingley, accepting another role that serves as steel brush to polish that Oscar of his). The master is cross eyed (for no real apparent reason) and his name is Tugginmypudha. If your knees are red from slapping them after reading that last name, again, run to the theater a get your ticket. Pitka is given a chastity belt (for no real apparent reason) only to serve as a gag involving a clanging sound every time he achieves an erection. He greets everyone with the mantra (for no real apparent reason) “Mariska Hartgitay.” By the way, you'll never guess who shows up for a cameo! To Ms. Hargitay's parents' credit, at least her name has some thought behind it (it means “bitter” in Herbrew). Myers, who also co-wrote the film, litters it with less-inventive names such as Dick Pants and Coach Cherkov (seriously, Mike, were you even trying?). The latter character is played by Myer's “Austin Powers” co-star, diminutive actor Verne Troyer. He's cast for no other reason than for Myers to squeeze out whatever little person jokes that didn't fit in the “Powers” films. I have stated in my column before that I am no prude and do enjoy an occasional wallow into the muddy waters of crude humor. But, honestly, “The Love Guru” is one school grade away from using a comeback of “doody-head” as a punchline. Myers' character is tested in that he has to learn to love himself before others, but that does not seem to be a problem for the actor himself. Shamelessly mugging, laughing at all his own jokes and flailing like a sleep-deprived child mid-tantrum, calling Myers a ham would be a disservice to the pork industry. First-time director Marco Schnabel does little more than point and shoot, allowing scenes (and Myers) to go on much longer than necessary. The other truly odd vibe of “Guru” is its presumption of intended audience members (boys under age of the PG-13 rating, or adults with an IQ of 13) have actually seen a Bollywood muscial, read a Deepak Chopra book or even fondly remember hair-metal band Extreme's music video to their power ballad “More Than Words” (it's better not to even ask about that last one). This derision all comes from the saddened heart of a Myers fan — someone who found the original “Austin Powers” and “Wayne's World” hilarious and who still recalls with a smile several of the perfomer's “Saturday Night Live” skits. But there is little to smile about in “Guru.” For even if you remove all the references to fetid bodily functions, you are still left with a “Totally Underwhelming and Rancid Diversion.”

Body: The first half of this week saw a drought as far as new trailers are concerned. But when it rains it pours, and by the end of day Thursday the internet had received a relative monsoon of debuts, including the now-official release of the Sex and the City trailer, which Karina prematurely peeked at last Friday, and another awesome ad for Iron Man. But the truly noteworthy trailers had to be those for three eagerly anticipated comedies, two of which we are seeing for the first time. First, there’s The Love Guru, which stars Mike Myers as his first originally created comedic character in more than ten years. Unfortunately, it kind of makes me wish he would just keep making Austin Powers movies. Maybe I just don’t get it, and maybe I should just accept that a Myers comedy is less about it and more about him. But it doesn’t look that funny. And I’m a person who can appreciate the making fun of Extreme and the parodying of Bollywood and the ridiculing of little people. (more…) Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: In my opinion there are many great trilogies and even more terrible ones. They span everything from fantasy (Lord of the Rings) to comedy (Austin Powers) to action (Bourne). Over the years I've started many trilogies only to never finish them because the first wasn't that good or I was satisfied with what I saw. While I am very excited to see the Bourne Ultimatum this weekend, as of right now my favorite trilogy of all time is still Back to the Future. It's the only full trilogy I own and I feel that each film is completely warranted. Let me know what you think. Quick! Marty the Delorean!

Body: Variety had a blurb over the weekend about Trailers From Hell. The site, recently lauched by producer Elizabeth Stanley, invites genre directors (known on the site as "grindhouse gurus") to record commentary over trailers of their favorite B-movies of yore. The trailers can be watched with or without commentary, on the site or on the "Fun Little Movies" channel on Sprint cellphones and on the iPhone. So far, the content on Trailers From Hell looks great. They're spectacular trailers, they're three-minute hyper-speed Hollywood history lessons, they're dish-fests. Mick Garris disses Robert Zemeckis for his over-indulgent shooting methods; Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright wonders how anyone could find "Austin Powers that funny when something like Danger: Diabolique is the real deal, and is for my money as funny as Austin Powers." Five trailers are available on the site now, with five more in the works. I'll definitely check back to see what Mary Lambert has to say about Village of the Damned. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: I am with you on the whole list except for #1 - I really enjoy the idea of updating Bond to compete with the more successful Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt franchises. Bond is supposed to be suave, but it got to be a joke with the Roger Moore and the post-Goldeneye Pierce Brosnan films' cheesiness. Bond had to be a badass to get his 007 certification and this last film was really well done (still not as good as The Bourne Supremacy though). Looking back at the revered series I personally only like a handful of the films and I only think two are top notch in writing and directing for action thrillers- Goldfinger and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I think this last one is the sign of better things to come. You are right about the Indiana Jones series ending perfectly - I just don't know how they can satisfy their audience with a fourth. I agree with you on the Terminator series too - that would be a great concept for the continuing of the series. I was so underwhelmed with both of the first two Spiderman movies that I can't imagine sitting through a third. Shrek and Austin Powers were good ideas for the first movies maybe even the second, but I can't gather any excitement to ever watch any more from either. George Lucas showed that making sci fi action films is a young man's game - I can't believe how much he betrayed his original trilogy fans with one bad idea after another (casting, Jar Jar, the accents.....etc.). I have no sympathy anymore and I think he is completely irrelevant to today's audiences and if I was Spielberg I would worry about having him on my team for Indiana Jones. I will never watch anything else with his name attached unless it receives univeral acclaim (good luck with that) from some credible sourcess. Good post. BTW - did you hear they are making a new Incredible Hulk movie for 2008 with Edward Norton attached and the director of the Transporter series. I can't believe fine actor Norton signed up for a sequal of a not well recieved movie that isn't even being directed by Ang Lee anymore.
