...Mohicans, Heat and his latest, The Insider...The Backstreet Boys are being criticized because they refused to visit a young girl dying of leukemia in Detroit because of scheduled commitments. It's actually a legitimate excuse--are we hearing the first signs of irreversible backlash?…Ben Stiller's getting married. What happens to Janeane Garafolo?...Oh, and finally, does anybody have a videotape of that original Pokemon pilot that caused all those violent seizures in Japan?

Each of our heroes has a tiny, not very useful skill. Mr. Furious (Ben Stiller) works himself into a fine rage. The Blue Rajah (Hank Azaria) flings silverware. And the Shoveler (William H. Macy)--as he says, "I shovel well. I shovel very well." While glitzy Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear) routinely saves Champion City with his bravado and big ego, the Mystery Men must scrounge to find the perils they believe they were born to overcome...

Summer movies mean movement: frantic, farcical, talking-car movement in Inspector Gadget (with Matthew Broderick as the patched-together robocop), or hip, Tim Burtonish bustle in the comic book-derived Mystery Men (with Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria and Janeane Garofalo as all-too-human superheroes).

...Hill opposite Hugh Grant, then in Runaway Bride with Richard Gere in--surprise!--a romance that has nothing to do with millionaires or prostitutes. It gets better. Will Smith kicks off July Fourth weekend with the wacky Wild Wild West. Need a new superhero? Try Mystery Men, with Ben Stiller and Geoffrey Rush as defunct superheroes. Need a testosterone boost? Check out Sharon Stone in The Muse, a new comedy from Albert Brooks. For animaniacs, there's Tarzan and South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (love that title). With so many movies and so little time, forget work and head towards...

...after some thought, I figured the real Antichrist was probably well on his way to world domination. Possibly in the field of arts and entertainment or usury. I considered Ben Stiller, but the Antichrist is supposed to unite the world, and Stiller can't even open a major film by himself. That left me with Jon Stewart (too short), David Schwimmer (too Jewish, even for this part) and Adam Sandler. Yes, Adam Sandler. The actor who somehow got more than 20 million people to see The Waterboy. The guy who captured America with a character who rhymed words ending...
