Evolution (DVD) Comic science fiction thriller. A meteorite crashes in the American desert and unleashes a rapidly evolving life-form which threatens to engulf the earth. David Duchovny Julianne Moore and Orlando Jones stand in its way. Starting life as a Michael Crichton-esque "serious" sci-fi thriller Evolution fell into the hands of Ivan Ghostbusters Reitman and lightened up a little. The result is a pleasingly daft adventure movie with a steady supply of toilet gags and people falling over to counteract the aliens-taking-over-the-world-so-look-scared type action. It's good clean(ish) fun which is closer to Men In Black than Jurassic Park. The plot follows a pair of small town scientists David Duchovny and Orlando Jones who are first on the scene of a landed asteroid which seems to be churning out primordial ooze. The ooze doesn't stay ooze for long and in fact evolves at a surprising rate generating it's own ecosystem within a short space of time and threatening - as so many aliens do - to take over the world. Duchovny and Jones are likeable leads and are joined by Julianne Moore and Seann William Scott. The pace is swift and the jokes are amusing and the whole film is topped off with the best product placement scene ever. Which has to be worth it. ...

WHSmith is the UK's number one family retailer selling a range of products that extends across education, entertainment and information. Each year WHSmith High Street stores sell enough pens to circle the earth; enough books to fill a library shelf from London to Edinburgh; and enough paper to write a letter to everyone in the world. WH Smith also sell 122 million magazines and newspapers each year - enough to make a pile 69 times taller than Mount Everest.
The first High Street store was a small news vendor opened in 1792 in Little Grosvenor Street, London, by Henry Walton Smith and his wife Anna. Today, WHSmith has 545 High Street stores, covering over 3 million square feet of selling space and employing 17,000 staff. Clubcard, the Company's loyalty scheme, has more than 5 million members.
Books, newspapers, magazines and stationery form the core of the High Street business. WHSmith sell more books than any other retailer in England, Scotland and Wales. For example, one in three copies of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire were bought from WHSmith in the first weekend of release. WHSmith promote new authors with their Fresh Talent showcase and also have the Thumping Good Read Award that is voted for by members of Clubcard.
WHSmith's major stores stock more than 45,000 product lines, whereas an average food supermarket carries around 10,000 lines.

WH Smith's strategy is to exploit the strength, power and potential of the WHSmith brand to provide the very best service and value for money for their customers, shareholders and wider community.
