AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER
Herald rating: *
By this stage many of us were over Austin Powers (Mike Myers) and this third instalment confirmed it. For one, the character of Dutch villain Goldmember is just not that funny. At least Dr. Evil and Mini-Me (Verne Troyer) are back, hatching a time-travelling scheme to take over the world. (2002)

7PM, SKY MOVIES 1
ROBOTS
Herald rating:* * *
Animated feature set in a mechanical world with an inventor named Rodney (voiced by Ewan McGregor) who journeys to Robot City hoping to get employed by corporation Big Weld but learns their way of downsizing includes reducing outmoded robots to scrap metal. Reaches high but lacks heart. (2005)

DUKES OF HAZZARD
Herald rating: * *
The Duke cousins played by Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott and Jessica Simpson try to save the family farm from the clutches of Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). Willie Nelson appears as the pot-smoking Uncle Jesse, a role he's trying hard to shake right now. Not a good sign when the General Lee delivers the best performance in the entire film. (2005)
