Shawn: This is so over the top cheesy, goofy, bad, unbelievable, and dumb it's amazing! Almost feels like an episode of that awful Pamela Anderson T.V. show VIP. (It's not really that bad though). I hold a kind of love/hate relation with this movie. At times I was jamming alongside with the action as the techno music played, at other times I was cringing at the pure cholesterol packed cheesiness. Definitely a member of the so bad it's good collection... I couldn't tell you what the story is about because I wasn't paying attention to that detail. The attention getters are the continuos music, the women in tight and/or revealing clothing, the matrix like action, and the fact that Crispin Glover (the creepy thin man) is a great bad guy who doesn't say a word in the whole movie. One question I have: Is the soundtrack to this movie a 6 CD boxed set, and also, why do I love this movie???

JB: Taking right where the '70's series left off, we find our three superheroines kicking butt against the evil Sam Rockwell, and looking good doing it. However, this movie tries extra hard to play up the real-life problems that modern-day supergirls would have. This works to a point, but not so much as the inimitable comic presence of Bill Murray, who steals every scene he's in. But so does George McF... I mean, Crispin Glover. Fortunately they aren't in any scenes together, creating some Timecop-ish flux capacitation which would cause some godforsaken problem. McG, a former music video director, shoots this right along his forte…an extra long version of Thriller, you might say. The only problem I had with this flick, is that these three girls don't hold a candle to the pure goodness of the original Angels (well, Drew Barrymore maybe... purely for the steering wheel part). Now those were the good old days... (sound of cheesy record playing).

Shawn: Sorry man, I don't have the space for your flashback montages.

JB: Oh... (sound of record needle sliding off record). Alright, then.


CAREER THIS MOVIE MAKES ME WANT TO HAVE: Race car driver, or hell, a chauffeur for that matter.

BEST TIME TO TAKE A LEAK: Anytime Cameron Diaz is shaking her booty.

BEST GUESSES AS TO WHO CHARLIE IS: Bill Clinton, Sandra Bernhart, Alf, Ted Kennedy, JB.
