The department took half a day off yesterday to see the latest Austin Powers flick.

Slapstick at its nastiest. Survivable. A couple of good chuckles.

I liked that Michael Caine was in it as Austin's father, and I especially liked his high tech car -- a mini with a kick.

Mike Myers, as Austin Powers: “Your car's a mini.”
Michael Caine, as Nigel Powers: “It's not the size, mate -- it's how you use it.”

If you need a sci-fi tie-in, it involves a tractor beam, and a solid gold asteroid.

All in all, a truly bad flick, well worth the $3.50 ticket.

Cheers,
Dan
