I am a huge fan of this series and love the first two sequels but unfortunately it seems Austin has lost his mojo. From the first five minutes of the movie I found myself un-amused and highly disappointed. The movie, though true to its efforts, attempts to bring about new life to the series with a brand-new villain named “Goldmember” which I found sad and very odd. The movie resorts to awful bathroom/gross-out humor to almost desperate measures. The most disgusting aspect of the movie was “Goldmember” who, due to his obsession with gold began to get diseased throughout the entire movie as his skin peeled constantly.

The Crocodile Hunter – Collision Course (2002)
I watch the “Crocodile Hunter” television show, and to those of you people who don’t know, Steve Irwin is a professional wildlife explorer who studies vicious wildlife. Don’t be fooled by his name though, he’s more of a Crocodile preserver than hunter. I was rather curious to discover how Hollywood which has the ability to squeeze the life out of a phenomenon would handle this, and I was rather surprised. The good thing about this movie is that they don’t try to make actors out of the two explorers on which the movie focuses on.
Hardball (2001)
Connor O’Neil is a man out of his luck. He’s a no good gambling addict who constantly fails at his bets. He’s also got a bunch of guys after him who will stop at nothing to kill him for their money. Connor turns to a rich friend who offers to pay him 500 dollars a week if he agrees to coach an inner-city baseball team. Desperate, he agrees.
Ginger Snaps (2000)
Brigitte (Emily Perkins) and Ginger (the gorgeous Katharine Isabelle) play two Goth sister outcasts in high school whom are obsessed with death and the morbid. One night while walking in the woods, Ginger is mauled by a large beast and is nearly killed, but when the beast is killed shortly after the mauling and Ginger heals, she begins to reveal some Lycanthropic traits in her behavior and body.
Spy Kids (2001)
Two kids discover their supposedly uncool parents are famous secret spies. When the parents get caught by an evil genius, they must band together and rescue their parents. This is such a nice movie. Not for its action or acting, but for its simplicity. It makes so many attempts at being nonviolent even though there is a lot of martial-arts scenes, and no guns. James Bond would be proud of these kids. The two offspring of enemy secret spies turned lovers obtain the elements of being a spy, though they don’t know it yet. Alexa Vega’s character is the oldest sister and contains the physical abilities and ferocity of a spy, and Daryl Sabara’s character obtains the mental and technological abilities it takes to be a spy.
Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)
I was very fascinated by this when it came out back in early 2002, so when it finally came on, I was very anxious. What I got was a rather tender movie. This girl struggles with the dating scene and constantly experiences loser after loser in the first half with a hilarious sequence that shows her on many dates with these odd men, one of whom has her pay the entire bill for the dinner. Jessica Stein is a lonely girl who works at a newspaper. She’s constantly set-up by her mother with a lot of men, but the dates are never successful. Frustrated, she answers an alternative lifestyle personal ad in hopes of making friends with a girl.
