Transcript of Featured Review

And greeting to all of my Expo TV brethren. Helsing 920. I got a DVD review for everybody. This time around it is for an awesome comedy. In fact it's actually comedy that I actually had dismissed at first until I got a chance to watch the sequel then I watched this then I feel in love with series. This movie is Austin Powers International Man of Mystery. Yes this actually a parody on a whole bunch of the 1960's spy films. Everything from James Bond Flint there is actually Derrick Flint I think is the name and then there's also a couple of others. It's a very funny movie. It's funny it's creative and it's definitely original. Mike Myers opts to borrow a page from Eddie Murphy's book and he plays multiple roles in this movie. In this one specifically only two roles. It was of Austin Powers and of Dr. Evil and the number of roles he would play will actually increase with each film but this one actually is really really good It is really entertaining. It actually has a nice send up on 1960s culture. Honestly it's just funny. As for the bonus features the commentary which is from Mike Myers and director Jay Roach. The commentary is boring enough to put you to sleep. It actually put me to sleep once. You also have star highlights which pretty much is just biographies and filmographies of the various stars in the film. You also have deleted scenes and alternate endings and a whole bunch of other things and these discs nowadays you can find it at a really good price. So I have to say this guys Austin Powers International Man of Mystery if only the commentary were a little bit better I got to give this disc only a 4 out of 5 though and that's still though is worth you know a purchase guys. Check it out once.

Summary
If you don't think Austin Powers is one of the funniest movies of the 1990s, maybe you should be packed into a cryogenic time-chamber and sent back to the decade whence you came. Perhaps it was the 1960s--the shag-a-delic decade when London hipster Austin Powers scored with gorgeous chicks as a fashion photographer by day, crime-fighting international man of mystery by night. Yeah, baby, yeah! But when Powers's arch nemesis, Dr. Evil, puts himself into a deep-freeze and travels via time-machine to the late 1990s, Powers must follow him and foil Evil's nefarious scheme of global domination. Mike Myers plays dual roles as Powers and Dr. Evil, with Elizabeth Hurley as his present-day sidekick and karate- kicking paramour. A hilarious spoof of '60s spy movies, this colorful comedy actually gets funnier with successive viewings, making it a perfect home video for gloomy days and randy nights. Oh, be have ! --Jeff Shannon
