Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cool movie
This is a great movie, no stars in the cast (Well, Amanda Peet is a star now, but she wasn't then) and yet, they're great actors, and it's a great story. I could relate to a lot of things that go on in those characters'lives. They're in their late twenties and there's a lot of things about life that they just don't know, they have a lot of questions, issues and dillemas.
They're gathered in this house they's been going to for the past 9 years, and the movie is about their weekend there, they ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 20-, 30-, 40-something - You'll still love it
Ever been at the video store and realized there's nothing you haven't seen and you're just not in the mood for an old classic? That's how I found "Origin of THE Species" (not Darwin's "Origin OF Species"). This 1998 indie film was waiting patiently in the "New Releases" (just released on DVD). With Amanda Peet's smiling face on the jacket, it was hard to pass up, despite an unconvincing synopsis on the DVD case. I'm glad I took the chance.

The dialog-driven plot is simple (and has ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sexy People, Sexy Donuts
I loved looking at this story of how post-collegiate, prolonged adolescence evolves into adulthood. On a purely visual level it's "Friends" meets "On Golden Pond": 6 beautiful 20-somethings in an even more beautiful, sun-dappled setting.

Warning to Atkins Dieters: either cover your eyes during the scene of donuts reproducing or be prepared to channel the lustful urges provoked by carbohydrates at their most carnal into some activity that doesn't involve Krispy Kremes.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A cozy classic
This movie is such a breath of fresh air. Finally there's a movie that's profound, amusing, and relatable. It's nice to watch something that really hits home without begin cheesy or overdone and you can never go wrong with Jean Louisa Kelly or Amanda Peet.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easing out of Eden?
This is a coming-of-age story for recent generations (baby boomers forward), for whom a substantial amount of maturing often takes place post-college. While dealing with various personal decisions, six friends try to figure out exactly how one grows up without growing old. The setting, a house in the verdant and upscale NYC suburbs, is made to look positively Edenic--surely, a conscious choice on the part of the filmmakers, though not one that beats us over the head.

Lest "Origin of the ... Read More
