Evolution

This movie is about a community college professor who finds a rapid evolving creature and what happens when the government does not do things right.  

It stars Julianne Moore (Children of Men), Orlando Jones ( He was a voice in Halo 2! Pretty cool!), David Duchovny (X files) and Sean Williams Scott (American Pie).  All the performers did their best in silly roles.

This movie was an Ivan Reitman Film. Ghostbusters would be its grandfather movie. <---I know Ghostbusters is not that old! 

Evolution was funny.  It entertains, but it is forgettable.  I had my son pull this one out randomly.  He loves this movie.  He watches it as much as he can, but he is thirteen and the humor seems to be directed at his age group.

So this movie gets a mixed review, for the teen set, It is a good movie.  For people of my generation, the Ghostbuster gen, pass this one up.

Transformers: The Movie (1980's)

This is the version where Optimus Prime dies and the planet eater, Unicron, threatens Cyberton.  I liked this movie when I was a kid.  After watching it again as an adult, I like it.  So it's a good movie.

For some reason I have been a bit into looking backwards lately when it comes to my movie watching.  Some things I did not know about this picture were Casey Kasem, Orson Wells and Leonard Nimoy did voice work in this movie.  

The only thing I found funny was that  it had been based in the future: 2005.  I snickered so hard when I realized that I am living past that future: it's 2008.  I guess when writing sci-fi sometimes the future is not that far away.

If you want to visit a cute fantasy animated movie, I recommend this one.

Bed Knobs and Broomsticks

The classic Disney picture is about a witch in training taking care of misplaced children during World War II.  I watched this on the weekend and was  entertained.  It is a good movie.

Angela Lansbury as a young lady, not looking for dead bodies (<---Murder She Wrote reference) was a nice sight.  I never knew she was a young lady.  This actress is good.  She also played as Mrs. Potts in the classic Beauty and the Beast.

The movie takes you to the island of Naboo to find a star with a spell on it.  This blends animation with live action really well. There is a funny soccer game or football to Europeans. 

If you want a light picture, rent this movie.
