Austin Powers in Goldmember

Sibling rivalry is always present when sons are in the same room. Scott (Seth Green), the irascible son, presents his father with a pair of sharks with laser beams attached to their heads. Overjoyed, Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) professes his love for his son and seats Scott at his right hand, displacing Mini-Me (Verne Troyer), the sycophantic son, who leaves dejected, giving everyone in the room the finger. Mind you, he is evil so it isn’t surprising that he has set one son against another to curry his favour.

About a Boy

It is always a struggle to find your place in the pantheon of life. You’re not cool enough, geeky enough, smart enough, pretty enough, etc. How do you find your niche? Marcus (Nicholas Hoult) and Will (Hugh Grant) seem to be in the same boat despite their differences in age and circumstances. Both a floating around trying to find where they fit in. But they discover they have each other for an anchor and that things will work out in some fashion for each of them.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

It can be such a burden to be so attractive to so many women. Like me, Austin Powers (Mike Myers) knows what it is like. During a photo shoot that vixen Ivana Humpalot (Kristen Johnston) seduces him but she admits her duplicity at the last moment because he is too sexy. Never one to waste an opportunity, Austin and Ivana begin to have sex in her bed. Unfortunately they do not get far before he discovers that he has lost his mojo. Sigh… It happens more than men like Austin and I would admit.

Angels Fall

Memory is a tricky thing. I find as I age, the ability to pluck info is different from what it used to be. I joke that my brian is full and missing details have been overwritten by newer material. I hope that isn’t the case since the newer stuff may not be as profound as what was lost And even then, I don’t know that it has been lost. Maybe it is there but disconnected from its primary link. Odd thoughts tend to surface at the most inappropriate times and I wonder why. Maybe someday I’ll figure it out or someone else will find a solution. But I don’t face the memory problems that Reese Gilmore (Heather Locklear) does. Either the past treatment in a psych ward has scrambled something or a murderer is trying to drive her bonkers. Finding your clothing in the fridge, food in the closet, packed baggage when you awake and day-glo wall scribblings will give you pause that your synapses have misfired rather than think that a killer is toying with you.

American Pie

What is it that attracts us to somebody else? Body language? Pheromones? Location? Lighting? Lots of liquor? It is these and many other things. It is only later that we come to reflect on the merits of what we did. Paul Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) happens to be beside the pool table when Stifler’s Mom (Jennifer Coolidge) comes into the room. He looks at her. She looks at him and asks if he is trying to seduce her. They both then look at the pool table. He is horny teenager and she’s a horny housewife. If doesn’t take rocket science to know what happens next. It seems likely that post-coital reflection is the least of their thoughts.
