DVD Reviews of Evolution

DVD Review: A new look at evolution. you'll never think of it the same way again.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a funny, and adventurous movie. Takes Darwin's theory of evolution, and gives a new twist in the hilarious, and action packed movie. Loved the movie, hated the 'head and shoulders' ad at the end.

DVD Review: If you liked ghostbusters...
Summary: 5 Stars

you'll like this movie. Basically, it's slapstick comedy with silliness and fun special affects. You've got bad singing, a time where you jam with the main character and weird sex jokes. There's golf course jokes. Basically, it's stupid fun but wacky enough to make you watch it again and again. Honestly, I know it's not necessarily a cinematic movie - but then again - the point of movies is to enjoy oneself.

DVD Review: There's always time for Lubrication!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is just a silly farce so don't get all excited about the lack of science in the science fiction.

For me and many of my friends, this movie is worth the price just for the tag line in my title. It's a sub-reference we often use at work when it is apparent that we are going to get the short end of the stick.

In any case, this isn't sophisticated humor, so if you are not in the mood for a long comic skit you might as well skip this, but if you are in the mood for something silly, this might just fit the bill!

DVD Review: Evolution
Summary: 5 Stars

You can put this movie at the top of your FUNNY MOVIE LIST. It is not a chick flick, so don't ask permision if you want to laugh, and enjoy. This is funny! Don't trust anyones OPINIONS (they are like a part of the body everyone has, and they stink as well). I liked it, and I would pay more for it if I had to.

DVD Review: Play that Funky Music, White Boy!!
Summary: 5 Stars

"Great science-fiction with plenty of tongue in cheek. Starring Stiffler, Mulder and Miss firebox Moore. Oh yeah, and there's lot's of aliens, end of the world stuff, too!"PILATE: A Brutal Bible Tale

Description of Evolution

Based on the evidence in Evolution, one thing is perfectly clear: special effects have evolved, but director Ivan Reitman has reverted to primitive pandering. Equally obvious is the fact that Evolution is a de facto rip-off of Reitman's 1984 classic Ghostbusters, but this time there's no Bill Murray to deliver the best punch lines (we have to settle for fellow ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd in a broad supporting role), and the comedy has devolved into a grossfest including deep-rectal extraction of alien insects, fire-hose enemas into a giant alien sphincter, and a full-moon display of David Duchovny's naked posterior. Whereas Ghostbusters was a shrewd, irreverent mainstream comedy that combined gooey spectral ectoplasm with something resembling genuine wit, Evolution is a crude, juvenile romp in which all things slimy are elevated to comedic supremacy.

Granted, that's not always a bad thing. As latter-day ghostbuster equivalents, Duchovny, Orlando Jones, and Seann William Scott make a fine comedic trio, and Julianne Moore is equally amusing as a clumsy scientist and Duchovny's obligatory love interest. Despite the meddling of clueless military buffoons, they join forces to eradicate a wild variety of rapidly evolving alien creatures that arrived on Earth via meteor impact, and the extraterrestrial beasties (courtesy of effects wizard Phil Tippet and crew) are outrageously designed and marvelously convincing. For anyone who prefers lowbrow humor, Evolution will prove as entertaining as Ghostbusters (or at least Galaxy Quest), while others may lament Reitman's shameless embrace of crudeness. One thing's for certain: after seeing this movie, you'll gain a whole new appreciation for Head & Shoulders shampoo. --Jeff Shannon
