100 Greatest Movies of All Time...That I Own. # 66 ~ Evolution






Ivan Reitman and Orlando Jones return to the countdown.  The movie: Evolution.

It's the story of a meteor that crashes on Earth, and the organisms from said meteor begin to evolve into mutated forms of life.  Each more horrific than the last.  At the rate of their change, it's only a matter of time before they take over the world!

The only thing that can stop them?

2 Community College professors.

And Stifler.

Suddenly, I fear for our chances of survival!

Spreading his comedic wings, David Duchovney leads the cast.  He's the straight man, with a sense of humor.  His partner, Orlando Jones, provides much of the humor, especially when the duo don containment suits later.

"Ira.  IRAAAAA"

I crack up everytime, and often I will break into an Ira chant around the house.

Yep, I'm weird that way.

Rounding out the cast, Julianne Moore gets to play the adversary and potential love interest for Dr. Kane.  Did I mention Stifler?  Seann William Scott lends a hand as a volunteer firefighter in training who helps the boys attempt to save the day.

Finally, some mention should be made for Ivan Reitman who has now hit the list 3 times.  Not bad for only directing 19 films in his career, though he has had a hand in producing many, many more titles.

He'll be back for one more visit, his most celebrated film is actually scheduled for this same slot, tomorrow.

Until then, "Ka Ka, Ka Ka... Tuuki Tuuki".
