December 3, 2002 - Video and DVD Releases
"Austin
Powers in Goldmember" -
Infinifilm
Edition (2002)
Tagline:
"On July 26th the secret will be exposed."
Length:
94 minutes
MPAA Rating:
PG-13 for sexual innuendo, crude humor and language
Mike Myers again stars as randy British super-spy Austin Powers in this zany comedy, the third in a series of movies that spoof James Bond films. As in previous Austin Powers movies, Mike Myers also plays the villainous Dr. Evil as well as an obese character called Fat Bastard, and Verne Troyer returns in the role of Mini Me. This time around, Dr. Evil teams up with a peculiar Dutchman named Goldmember (Myers, in his fourth role) in an attempt to acquire a device that will allow him world domination. Dr. Evil kidnaps Austin's father (Michael Caine), and soon all the main characters end up back in 1975, where Austin meets the sexy Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyoncé Knowles), a spy with a big afro. Several celebrities make cameo appearances in the movie, and the film provides some big laughs.

"Lilo
& Stitch" (2002)
Tagline:
"There's one in every family."
Length:
85 minutes
MPAA Rating:
PG for mild sci-fi action
This is a charming Disney animated adventure film that is aimed at children,
but most adults will enjoy watching it with them. Lilo (voice of Daveigh
Chase) is a mischievous girl who lives in Hawaii, where she is being raised
by her sister because their parents were killed in an accident. Lilo's home
situation is less than ideal, and the authorities threaten to take her away
from her sister. Then Lilo adopts a creature from the pound that she thinks
is a strange dog and names him Stitch (voice of Chris Sanders). However,
Stitch is not a dog, but a small monster that resulted from an experiment
gone awry on a distant planet. Lilo and Stitch bond, but Lilo must do everything
she can to remain with her sister, while Stitch has to avoid the extraterrestrials
sent to bring him back to the galaxy where he was created.
