Film 281/365, Day 311/365 – Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Just as stupid, ridiculous and funny as the first film.  Some of the gags have been reused and updated but then there is also the introduction of Mini Me who is excellent.  If you liked the first film then you will enjoy this just as much.  It’s great fun with more than enough to keep you coming back for more. 

Synopsis:  Doctor Evil is back and using his new time machine he has travelled back to the 60s and stolen Austin Powers mojo.  Now Austin must travel back to the swinging sixties to recover his mojo and stop Doctor Evil in his latest plot to take over the world.

Film 280/365, Day 310/365 – Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

It’s stupid, ridiculous and incredibly funny.  I have such fond memories of seeing this the first time around and it is still just as funny.  There are loads of one liners and stupid gags which make for a very entertaining film and of course it is all a parody of the Bond movies which it does so well.  Brilliant, it’s an absolute must see film, yeah baby!

Synopsis:  British secret agent Austin Powers was cryogenically frozen when his nemesis, Doctor Evil, froze himself.  Now some thirty years later Doctor Evil has reappeared so Austin Powers is reanimated to continue to help catch him.  But can Austin adjust to the 90s or will it all be too much?

Film 20/365, Day 20/365 – Without a Paddle

Three friends that were inseperable as children, but have drifted apart since entering adult life, discover that the fourth member of the group has died. They meet at the funeral and begin to recall their youth. In memory of their friend they agree to go on a trip to discover the treasure that the now dead member of the group had been obssessed with. Will they find the the treasure or discover something much more or will they just be up shit creek without a paddle?

Without a Paddle is a fun film with plenty to laugh at. The main strength of the film is the bond between the three main actors Matthew Lillard, Seth Green and Dax Shepard who have great chemistry together. Sure the film is fairly stupid in parts but that is partly what’s great about it. I like it and would recommend to anyone with some time to fill who’s looking for something funny that is easy to digest.
