...popped in the first flick, a movie entitled Bastard!! Demon-God of Destruction. (Oh, what a name.) The movie started just the way I expected-a thunderous voice informed me that I was entering a "barren, bestial environment" where humans had been conquered by superior beings and sentenced to a hellish eternity. Hmmm hellish eternity sounded like the night I saw looming ahead...

...chalk through a plastic tube, or dropping a huge chemistry book on the floor for its startling effect. It's a formula that works, creating an environment that engages students. When one called him a mean old a--hole in class, he corrected him calmly. "That's mean old bastard...

It was a musical food fight at an all-you-can-eat: felt beats and loud bass pelted the idolating house fiends sore and silly...

...Graham should have never opened her mouth, and even though the movie should have been called Dr. Evil 2: Austin Powers Has a Cameo. Myers has a knack for improvisation--and for taking a joke to its breaking point ("www.sh.com," "zip it," etc.). But some gags flopped miserably--Fat Bastard, most notably, was not only tired, but just flat-out gross. There's the feeling--so prevalent among sequels--that the Austin Powers concept has been milked to the bone. Parodies have a short shelf-life--they only last until new material arrives. And, of course, the "spy" genre...
