Kalifornia (1993)
Excellent movie, lots of action and angst
"Kalifornia" is an excellent film. Rather violent, with some lighter moments, but well-written and acted by all involved. Duchovny plays a writer who has a contract to write a book about serial killings, so he and his live-in photographer girlfriend, Michelle Forbes, decide to go on a cross-country tour of sites of serial killings. They take along two Tennessee hicks (Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis) to help share expenses, not knowing that Early Grayce (Pitt) is a serial killer himself. Everyone involved really gets to show off their acting prowess. Pitt is surprising believable as the conscienceless dirty hick. Lewis is impressive in her role as the simple young waitress craving for love. Duchovny is great, too, as the naive writer who comes to experience violence first hand. Forbes is excellent as the not-so-naive young woman with real concerns about their involvement with Early Grayce.
Evolution (2001)
Excellent! Great fun!
"Evolution," starring David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott and Julianne Moore, is a terrific fun summer romp. A meteorite crashes to Earth, bringing with it microscopic alien organisms that rapidly begin evolving and threaten humanity's very existence. Enter our heroes, two community college science professors Ira Kane (Duchovny) and Harry Block (Jones). They investigate the meteorite, take samples and Kane quickly realizes what is going on. But the Army has been monitoring Kane's work ever since he was drummed out of the USAMRID because of a tremendous mistake he made. They try to take over the situation, but don't really know what they're doing. CDC scientist Allison (Moore) at first works with the Army on the project, but soon realizes that it's Kane who is making the most sense.
The whole movie is done as a comedy and the jokes are fast, furious and really funny. The chemistry between the leads is fantastic. Special effects -- the alien creatures -- rocks. Don't miss this one!
