Synopsis:My Opinion: Even though I was aware of the general plot of this movie (I've seen it many times before) I didn't notice the many parallels between this and The Proposal until now. But if at all, it would be a neg for The Proposal, not for this one, since it was here first and there are also quite a few differences.
In order to not having to praise Sandra again (though I could go on for hours if I wanted to ) let me say a few words about Bill Pullman. I like his characters. There, you had your few words... No, really, I only know him from romances and not so serious movies like Spaceballs and Independence Day but I really like him in these movies and I like him here; he's way better for Lucy than his brother.

Plot:
007 is a great number. And Austin has his powers, but nobody is really "In Like Flint!" He's back, in the ultimate spy spoof, this time going head-to-head with a group of wealthy and powerful female tycoons who have discovered a way to brainwash women through beauty salon hairdryers! And if that's not enough, they then replace the President with their surgically reproduced clone as a part of their super-evil plan to take over the world. In this outrageous adventure where the bad guys are girls, Flint must infiltrate the women's secret lair - a lush and lavish tropical spa called Fabulous Face - before the gals wreak more havoc.

Extras:
Scene Access
Feature Trailers
Closed Captioned


Early spy spoof that was likely the inspiration for the Austin Powers franchise. Super cheesy with gangly James Coburn as Derrick Flint, spy extraordinaire! The fight sequences were laughable, the spy gadgets ridiculous and the women gorgeous but lacking any kind of depth. I guess perhaps that was the point! Silly but entertaining.

The highlight was in the bonus features where I found a trailer for a Racquel Welch movie called Fathom. Ohhh MAMA! Is she hot in this flick!  I have to find this movie which will be challenge as it is OOP.

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

18. Double or Nothing
Original Air Date: 4/22/2002
Even as Fred, Cordelia and Angel come to Gunn's aid when a demon arrives to collect his soul, Wesley realizes his actions have cost him his job and his friends at Angel Investigations.

Guest Stars:
Mark Lutz
Jason Carter
Patrick St. Esprit

My Thoughts:
And we have another episode I enjoyed. This one is less on the season long arc and more a stand alone episode. I must admit I got a kick out of what Gunn sold his soul for. I somehow forgot about it since I last watched it.

My Rating:
