And now, for something completely different let me
introduce you to one of the silliest movies I have yet to encounter, the little
known and justly panned drama, Evolution. I deliberately chose it as an antidote to
the mind-numbing effect of the psychedelic war drama Apocalypse
Now, GO69. It worked.
Evolution was inflicted on the artistic world in
2001; it is described as a sci-fi comedy, which in a way I guess it is. It
features David Duchovny of X Files fame,
Julianne Moore , who was very good in The
Shipping News, and a motley assortment of people I have never knowingly
encountered anywhere else. It involves a
threat to humanity from somewhere jn outer space, thankfully thwarted by Head
and Shoulders shampoo. It is stupid,
raunchy, preposterous but – if you are in the right mood – worth a few
chuckles. C+/B-.
