I'm all outta 'Love'

"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 ... " [More]

Comedian Comedy Trailer Trio

"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…) Originall ... " [More]

Best trilogy ever
by KATTmandu in Best Trilogies

hasn't rated it.

"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! " [More]

Trailers From Hell: Micro Film ...

"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 Vil ... " [More]

Re: Dreaded Sequels

"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 wit ... " [More]
