Evolution review

Advantages: Great cast of characters, lots of funny moments
Disadvantages: None

Evolution - a theory and now a film! It's directed by Ivan Reitman, who gave us the classic "Ghostbusters" and not so classic but still very good "Ghostbusters 2". Here, he helms another supernatural comedy, and even manages to bring aboard Dan Aykroyd in a small cameo role. When a meteorite falls to earth near the small town of Glen Canyon, two college professors, Dr. Ira Kane (David Duchovny) and Prof. Harry Phineas Block (Orlando Jones), are ...
...just that, they find organisms of an extraterrestrial origin. And not just that, they are evolving at a incredible rate, even while Ira is watching. Soon the military show up and completely seal off the meteor. Completely ostracized from their discovery, they keep doing research, and are surprised when the original discoverer of the meteor, Wayne (Seann William Scott), brings in what looks like a monster. Soon them and Allison (Julianne Moore), ...

Review of Evolution (DVD)

Fate will make it happen

Advantages: Tear jerker but comical
Disadvantages: None

This film in my opinon is probably one of the only films that could restore your faith in finding 'the one'. It is a classic about two strangers meeting each other by coincedence, they go their separate ways and leave it up to fate to get them back together. It follows how their lives go on living without each other and some very comical points. It is quite a light hearted film but is definately trying to send out a message to the audience who views ...
...they play the roles very well and the script is well thoughtout although it may be debated to be on the line of 'cheesy'. Life is taken too seriously and people are constantly worrying about finding a partner, which is putting too much stress on yourself making it more difficult to actually find some one. We should all take note of this film and realise fate is real. ...

Review of The Wedding Planner (DVD)

Dolittle Is Back...

Advantages: A good family comedy
Disadvantages: Some unecessary special features

Very bored and looking for an opinion today I found that the Dr. Dolittle 2 DVD had not been reviewed and seeing as it’s part of my DVD collection I thought, might as well… Firstly the film: Sequel to the original high grossing film Dr. Dolittle, Eddie Murphy remains as the title character who can still talk with animals. Now everybody knows about his talent he is asked in this comedy to help try to save the forest from being developed ...
...this he must turn a circus bear into a charming love mate so that an endangered bear falls for him but this is harder than it seems, as the bear needs a lot of help and encouragement into settling in the wild. He also has to cope with many things along the way such as his family’s reaction to his newfound fame, other entertaining and appealing animals, the funniest being a drunken monkey, and the bad guys who try to halt his progress so they ...

Review of Doctor Dolittle 2 (DVD)

Crocodile Dundee is back and fighting sharks of LA

Advantages: Comedy gags a plenty
Disadvantages: Less Croc and more Private eye

When I first heard about Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles I got quite excited as I really enjoyed the first two Crocodile Dundee films. However when I first watched this I was quite disappointed but on reflection is not too bad. The Plot = Mick Dundee and Sue Charlton have been living together in Australia for about ten years and they have a son called Mikey but they are not married. Mick now catches Crocodiles as a tourist attraction along ...
...Sue and Jacko (a fellow Crocodile hunter) they try to uncover what these movie makers are doing. The Characters Michael J "Crocodile" Dundee - Paul Hogan Sue Charlton - Linda Kozlowski Mikey - Serge Cockburn Jacko - Alec Wilson The characters have not really changed since the original films however they have aged and since they have a child they have a more responsible feel to them. Jacko is a very funny character he seems to ...
