 Comedy for the educated, 2008-10-28
Yes, liberties were taken with science, BUT the science is much better than other movies that took themselves much more seriously. It's a frickin' comedy, get over it. Now that is behind us...
What an excellent comedy. David Duchovny was surprisingly adept at comedy, especially the low key, intellectual stuff, balanced by Orlando Jones for more down-to-earth humor, Julianne Moore as an uncoordinated but serious scientist, and Sean William Scott for the the really bawdy, slapstick stuff. Not a combination of actors I would normally have considered, but performed brilliantly together.
This movie is not comedy for the lowest common denominator, and therefore a pleasant relief from the run of the mill productions these days. The premise is simple; panspermia strikes again (and if this makes no sense to you, pass on this movie). An alien single-cell organism rides to Earth on a meteor, but has a much faster life cycle than any Earthly organism. And it is adapting quickly. And then the problem gets worse; the government gets involved.
Great visual comedy, great dialog, a little coarse in places, and great fun. Worth watching, and worth watching the alien environment scenes a second time to pick up on all the detail.

A new look at evolution. you'll never think of it the same way again., 2008-10-11
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.
If you liked ghostbusters..., 2008-09-12
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.

 There's always time for Lubrication!, 2008-09-03
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!
Evolution, 2008-08-03
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.
