AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER - INFINIFILM WIDESCREEN DVD We meet Goldmember (so named for his prosthetic bullion bar and ingots) in another bit of multi-layered absurdity during a time-travel journey to New York circa 1975 and the fictional Studio 69, with Myers referencing his own most critically praised performance as Studio 54's perverse Steve Rubell. Goldmember is perhaps the most horrific deconstruction of the self and the mortification of corporeal identity since Bergman's Persona. Less esoterically, Goldmember, save Savage's mole (and a bit stolen gag for gag from the second Austin Powers film), is a boring and enervated comedy that limps around reeking of the pathetic and the desperate urge to be loved long after the passion for the thing has waned. www.filmfreakcentral.net /dvdreviews/austinpowersingoldmember.htm   (1251 words)

Austin Powers in Goldmember Goldmember finds Mike Myers returning to his most successful franchise, but desperately running out of steam and resorting to yet another stab at jokes that hit-and-missed the first two times around. Goldmember is probably the worst in the Austin Powers series (though I really enjoyed the second one I didn't think the original was all that funny either -- I consider #3 about on par with #1). Myers's new titular villain Goldmember (the fourthrole a visibly weary Myers plays in the film) is about as lame as they come; he is the butt of jokes because he eats his own peeling skin and he's Dutch. www.absolutely.net /movie/2002_Austin_Powers_in_Goldmember.html   (579 words)

Austin Powers in Goldmember Movie Review at Hollywood Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Goldmember (Myers again), a hideously tanned Dutch swinger whose genitalia was seared off in a smelting accident and replaced by a 14k gold prosthesis — hence the name. When he's not munching on flakes of his peeling skin, Goldmember likes to plot world destruction and skate around in wheeled clogs at Studio 69, a disco-cum-roller-rink where the house act is singer Foxxy Cleopatra (Destiny's Child frontwoman Beyoncé Knowles). So even though Goldmember doesn't really give the Austin Powers franchise the creative jolt that critics (and some fans) were hoping for, it has more than enough strong moments and silly laughs to satisfy anyone who ever wished "Danger" was their middle name. www.hollywoodvideo.com /movies/movie.aspx?MID=133752   (2224 words)

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) Goldmember launches with a terrific opening sequence that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film. Goldmember start includes many delights, but I won’t discuss them so I don’t spoil the fun for folks who’ve not seen the flick. Goldmember also creates fun material when we go back to 1958 and see teen versions of Dr. Evil (Josh Zuckerman), Austin (Aaron Himelstein), Basil (Eddie Adams), and Number Two (Evan Farmer). www.dvdmg.com /goldmember.shtml   (3521 words)

DVD Verdict Review - Austin Powers In Goldmember Austin Powers in Goldmember is a nod and a wink to all the fans of the first two films while looking for future fortunes in new characters and mining hilarity in distinct time periods and fashions. Even though the majority of his dialogue is obtuse, and he is never a menacing or meaty villainous presence, Goldmember is a 14-karat invention of wit and inspiration. Without a doubt the most superb thing in Goldmember is 2' 8" Verne Troyer as Mini-Me. Millions of miles away from the stunt casting craziness of Spy, Troyer's characterization of Dr. Evil's miniature clone has magically and magnificently transformed into the true comic glue within the film. www.dvdverdict.com /reviews/austinpowers3.php   (3553 words)

CNN.com - 'Goldmember' approved as Austin Powers title - April 12, 2002 The third installment of the cinematic series featuring comic spy Austin Powers will be called "Austin Powers in Goldmember" after all. New Line told CNN that as part of the agreement to allow use of the "Goldmember" title, all future titles that may be construed as parodies of James Bond will be subject to MGM's approval. The film, expected to be a box office hit, is scheduled to open July 26. archives.cnn.com /2002/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/12/austin.powers.movie   (207 words)

Austin Powers in Goldmember - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Goldmember is a loose parody of the James Bond movie Goldfinger, and sold about $288 million in movie tickets worldwide. The title of the film Goldmember led to legal action being taken by MGM, the distributors of the James Bond film franchise, that briefly led to the film's title being removed from promotional material and trailers. While one of the catches is that Goldmember comes from the Netherlands; he actually speaks German, not Dutch. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Austin_Powers_in_Goldmember   (1423 words)

Movie Spoiler for the film -AUSTIN POWERS: GOLDMEMBER As Austin investigates, he finds Goldmember being given the Preparation H key, and that the tractor beam is ready.

Austin Powers in Goldmember Goldmember has none of the visual wit of the previous pictures, and it looks as though Jay Roach directed the film from the back of a taxicab. Goldmember is funny enough to justify the embarrassment of bringing a barf bag to the moviehouse. Austin Powers in Goldmember is a cinematic car wreck, a catastrophic collision of tastelessness and gall that nevertheless will leave fans clamoring for another ride. www.rottentomatoes.com /m/austin_powers_in_goldmember   (1029 words)

Weekend: Is Goldmember worth its wait? Mike Myers is his usual randy self in Austin Powers in Goldmember, more of the same from the franchise that spoofs James Bond and, now, itself. The opening sequence of Austin Powers in Goldmember is worth the price of admission, so don't be late to the theater. Aside from a few groans for his Dutch accent, peeling skin and crotch bulge, Goldmember is just an extra makeup job because Myers generously believes we deserve one. www.sptimes.com /2002/07/25/Weekend/Is_Goldmember_worth_i.shtml   (682 words)

UGO.com Film/TV - Austin Powers in Goldmember review, starring Mike Myers and Beyonce Knowles From the John Woo opening to the final moments when the film actually parodies itself, Goldmember is packed full of surprises and truly inspired moments. Goldmember isn't absolutely flawless - some jokes run a little too long, others are as flimsy as your mother's favorite pair of panties (the big ones she leaves hanging on the bathroom doorknob to dry). Goldmember both reinvents itself and remains true to its foundations. www.ugo.com /channels/filmTv/features/austinpowers_goldmember   (635 words)

Austin Powers in Goldmember Austin Powers in Goldmember is, for the most part, filled with the same tired jokes, scenarios and skits. The basis of the kidnapping seems to be nothing more than a way to bring in Austin Powers for no other apparent reason except to foil his plan of "flooding the world". There is quite a twist at the end of "Goldmember", including Mini Me, and even one with Austin and Dr. Evil. www.ez-entertainment.net /zoneseye/goldmemberview.htm   (474 words)

Austin Powers in Goldmember review While the Dutch character Goldmember makes you laugh, you have to wait for the film's end and the arrival of the pee-pee/pooh-pooh jokes for the film to finally leave its torpor. The James Bond spoof is only a pretext for jokes in bad taste that the public can shamelessly enjoy. Goldmember involuntarily parodies itself by referring to the preceding episodes through the presence of recurring characters while M:i-2, Harry Palmer, The Silence of the Lambs and Foxy Brown go through the Powers quotation mill. www.plume-noire.com /movies/reviews/goldmember.html   (244 words)

CNN.com - 'Goldmember' tired amusement - July 25, 2002 However, it is a mildly amusing mess, even though the premise -- and the shagadelic '60s and '70s -- are getting a wee bit long in the tooth. Featuring a golden complexion, wispy hair and a padded crotch that defies gravity, Goldmember is a double-jointed Dutchman whose lust for gold is matched only by his gross ability to put his legs behind his head -- thereby displaying the aforementioned crotch in all its glory. "Austin Powers In Goldmember" opens nationwide on Friday, July 26 and is rated PG-13 with a running time of 94 minutes. archives.cnn.com /2002/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/25/ca.s02.goldmember   (576 words)

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Still, there seems to be much less of that in this particular episode, and there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments to more than compensate for the occasional – though not all that frequent – clunker or lull that manages to sneak its way in there from time to time. `Austin Powers in Goldmember' wallows a bit overmuch in the sordid moments, the gross-out gags, the locker room and bathroom humor that have become, alas, the hallmarks of the modern comedy. Nevertheless, `Austin Powers in Goldmember' works well if you enjoy a comedy where the actors seem for once to have been actually having a fun time while making it. us.imdb.com /Title?0295178   (834 words)

OnMilwaukee.com Music: "Goldmember" illustrates the law of diminishing returns Father, son, and love interest pursue Goldmember back to the present, where he joins the escaped Dr. Evil and puts their plan into motion. The humor in "Goldmember" falls uniformly along these lines: hilarious moments buried in repetitive, pandering jokes -- it's Myers's commitment to the material that even makes most of it convincing. While you can't help but buy into the antic sensibilities of Mike Myers, there's still the nagging feeling that it was all a bit fresher the first, and even second, time around. www.onmilwaukee.com /music/articles/goldmember.html   (606 words)

AUSTIN POWERS 3: GOLDMEMBER Evil escapes from prison and joins forces with Goldmember for an odd job, time travelling back to 1975 to kidnap Austin Power's father / top British spy. The other new character is a Dutch guy called Goldmember because he lost his block and tackle in a smelting accident. One of the best moments was Dr. Evil in the sub driving over to Goldmember and calling him a "How about NO you crazy Dutch bastard". www.greenlightscafe.com /austinpowers3_goldmember.html   (1490 words)

DVDown Under REVIEW - Austin Powers in Goldmember   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) While Austin 2 was drastically different from Austin 1 in terms of humour, Goldmember takes more than a few pages from Austin 2 to a point of being a rehash. Like Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me, Goldmember was released to theatres with a Dolby EX mix. Goldmember is my least favourite of the Austin Trilogy, but certainly contains some pant wetting material. dvdownunder.com.au /reviews/review.php?id=00419   (1852 words)

Last check: 2007-10-13) I won't hesitate a second longer - 'Goldmember' was terrible. I have watched this movie two times and each time I watched it on DVD in widescreen and I highly recommend the widescreen because it allows you to see the whole movie while the Fullscreen DVD is just an edited pan and scan with the sides cropped. While the wealth of extras in Goldmember are quite interesting, they're marred by the limitations that the Infinifilm process imposes on your DVD player. www.amazon.ca /Austin-Powers-Goldmember-Full-Screen/dp/B00006WUWN   (1651 words)

Despite symptoms of sequelitis, Austin Powers in Goldmember is must-see lunacy for devoted fans of the shagadelic franchise. Unfortunately, the law of diminishing returns is in full effect: for every big-name cameo and raunchy double-entendre, there's an equal share of redundant shtick, juvenile scatology, and pop-cultural spoofery. www.amazon.com /Austin-Powers-Goldmember-Jay-Roach/dp/B00006WUWP   (2418 words)
