To start, this is HILARIOUS. Although some of the jokes may be grotesque and stupid, you can't help but crack up. Jim Carrey's rubber-like face is funny on its own, but add great jokes and it's perfect. The acting is mediocre, and the story is...well...basically just put there to carry along the jokes.

This is the ultimate highlight of Jim Carrey's career, and his funniest. This is the funniest movie of all-time, with "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" in a close second.

I loved this movie when I first saw it. I still like it a lot, but nowhere near as much as I used to. The comedy and cute little spaceship thingies is what drew me into "*Batteries Not Included." This is like "E.T." in a more cute and cuddly way. In this nice family flick, elderly inhabitants of an apartment find small spaceship-looking creatures in their home, but the secret can't be kept for long. Punks are forcing people out of their apartments, including our main stars. Can they keep their place for long? "Dun dun...." If you like funny family films or are looking for a flick to keep your kids entertained, this will work for you. But if you are a fan of "E.T." and expect the exact same here (I don't like the flick, but I understand its so-called "superiority"), look elsewhere.

I saw "Evolution" on June 9, its second day of being out. I had been wanting too see it ever since February because of one little thing: "Ghostbusters," my all-time favorite movie. And "Evolution" pleased me. I can see "Ghostbusters" re-incarnated in this movie throughout the whole thing. The similarities: Ivan Reitman directs it, Dan Aykroyd plays in it, average people trying to save the world, and an otherworldly creature infestation. Now that "Evolution" is becoming a hit and getting fairly decent reviews, I can pretty much say that the next thing good 'ol Ivan comes out with will be "Ghostbusters III." Ivan and Dan are shouting into Sony's faces "The premise still works! The comedy still works! If you won't let us do 'Ghostbusters III,' we'll just haunt you with a thousand versions of 'Ghostbusters'! But they'll all have different casts and monsters!" with the coming of "Evolution."

Now all we need is an "Evolution 2" for summer 2003. This time with Bill Murray and Harold Ramis.
