The Avengers (Joss Whedon, 2012)

Just what I was expecting – a solid Hollywood blockbuster. If there’s one type of film Hollywood can make well, then this is it. And not surprisingly, The Avengers is drawing in the crowds, setting a new record for the highest opening weekend debut at the North American box office by earning over $200 million.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (Jay Roach, 1997)

It had been a while since I had watched Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, so it felt I was almost watching it for the first time. However, I did remember that this was a film full of lame and silly gags, so it’s not like I had high expectations! (Also, interestingly I did not know that Demi Moore was one of the producers of this film.)
