You Only Live Twice (1967 Dir: Lewis Gilbert At the time of its release You Only Live Twice must have played really well. It boasts a story that was loaded with relevance at the height of the cold war, taking in both the space race and the threat of mutually assured destruction between the US and Russia. In Donald Pleasence’s Blofeld it has an iconic villain. Sean Connery, in his fifth Bond,...

A good villain is memorable, and impressive, and scary as hell. But bring back the same villain over and over, give him lousy dialogue and have him repeatedly defeated by worthless opponents, and that villain becomes nothing more than an ineffectual bully who doesn't know when to give up. He's like that big, hairy guy down the street who scared the crap out of you when you were a kid, but who now...

You have to hand it to Mike Myers ! Vanessa Kensington : Mr. Powers, my job is to acclimatize you to the nineties. You know, a lot’s changed since 1967. Austin Powers : No doubt, love, but as long as people are still having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment, I’ll...

We, like many other sites shared with all of you an article from TIFF Insider which stated that Verne Troyer had told them in an interview that Austin Powers 4 was likely and could even begin filming next year. NOT TRUE ! . As all of you know, I am very particular about nothing but the facts being reported on this site and Verne’s manager, Ray Hughes, knows how adamant I am about that as well....

As noted elsewhere on this server , Sumana and I watched the 1960s Casino Royale , a film that first entered my consciousness in 1997 when Need to Know reviewed Austin Powers as "good in parts, but ultimately suggests that Mike [Myers]'s never seen Casino Royale - or maybe seen it *far too many times*". After seeing it I'm gonna go with "far too many times". Casino Royale is a tremendous...

Thanks to Steph for a great idea. Here is my list of what I would do with One Billion Dollars. I would have to ask Mike Myers to give me lessons on how to say " One Billion Dollars" in the style of Doctor Evil from Austin Powers. I would hire an orchestra and try to learn to conduct. Then pay a large audience to cheer and call me maestro. I would buy an apartment in the 12 best cities in...

Apparently Michael Myers, of SNL and Austin Powers fame, has a major role in the newly released film Inglourious Basterds . Of course this comes as a surprise because Myers has always done comedy, and after such atrocities as The Love Guru and The Cat in the Hat , one may be surpirsed that he's still an actor. Well, here's a picture of him in the movie: As opposed to him as Austin Danger Powers: Does...

A hero’s nothing without an evil villain to defeat and over the years Bond, James Bond has taken down quite a few notable nasties. Not surprising really considering Her Majesty’s finest has been busy defending Queen and country in films since 1962 and shows no sign of letting up any time soon. But which is the best baddie 007’s ever faced? That was what DVD rental service LOVEFiLM...

Before Mike Myers was The Love Guru Austin Powers, he was just a boy scout on Kings of Kensington. A 12 year old Mike in 1975 really is his mini-me, seriously he looks the same as a preteen as he does as an adult! addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fseriouslyomg.com%2F%3Fp%3D11000'; addthis_title = [...]

It's likely that the younger generation of moviegoers knows Mike Myers primarily as the voice of Shrek. It has been five years since "The Cat in the Hat," his last live-action movie, and six since the third "Austin Powers" picture, so a bit of reintroduction may be in order.
