	Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
		Nowhere was it better realized than in this subtle and sophisticated movie, directed by B-film veteran Siegel, about vegetable pods from outer space that turn into emotionless replicas of human beings, in the process replacing the usually sleeping originals.
		Whether the film reflects right-wing paranoia about a secret takeover by communists or left-wing paranoia about the increasing power of the McCarthyists has been much argued; either way, the theme is loss of individual identity and of human feeling.
		The film has been very highly praised: it is possibly the most discussed B-movie in the history of US film, and was the first of many 1950s sf films to be remade.

	Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
		Invasion of the Body Snatchers is an excellent film and one of the instances where the remake is actually ten times better than the original.

		When they come as thrilling as Don Siegel's 1956 classic, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", it seems ludicrous to attempt a remake.
		Remade again as " Body Snatchers " in 1993.
		Sutherland delivers a performance that conveys beautifully the terrifying realisation that he is one of a diminishing group yet to be overwhelmed by an alien force that bears the faces of the loved and trusted.

	Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978)
		A lot of this movie was filmed at night, and the director claims to have been aiming for a film noir look, with the edges of the frame black, and various lighting effects throwing the subjects into relief.
		There's even a piece that I didn't understand, with Robert Duvall dressed as a priest on a swing in the first few seconds of the movie - the director commented that a horror movie needs a priest.
		The director, Philip Kaufman, was fully aware that his movie would be compared with the original.

		Philip Kaufman�s 1978 update, however, is set in a big city (San Francisco), and the only safety there might be is a small town too insignificant for the invaders to bother with.
		Kaufman�s movie is in letterboxed format on one side, with an aspect ratio of about 1.85:1 and no 16:9 enhancement, and in cropped format on the other side.
		The original black-and-white film was set in a small town, and it seemed like there might be safety in escaping to a big city.

		The classic final scene of the movie was all filmed in front of the City Hall building.
		The Transamerica Pyramid appears many times throughout the entire movie, apparently as a joke since United Artists was owned by Transamerica at the time the film was made.

		In a nod to the earlier classic, McCarthy appears at the beginning of the film, shouting hysterical warnings to motorists until he is struck and killed by a car.
		A great number of shots show the Transamerica pyramid building in downtown San Francisco, a subtle plug for the distributor of the movie, whose corporate offices are housed there.

	Snurcher's Guide: My Three Crichtons
		John is likely referring to the 1956 film INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS or one of its two remakes, the 1978 version of the same title and the 1993 BODY SNATCHERS, all based on a novel, THE BODY SNATCHERS, by Jack Finney.
		The "evolved" version of John (Future John) is either missing external genitalia, or is substantially less endowed than his template; Aeryn implies that there is a noticeable difference when Future John first emerges unclothed from the sphere, and later grins when he comments that there are some obvious physical differences from John Crichton.
		John Crichton has been gaining confidence and cockiness over the past year and half, but encountering his two variations has clearly shaken his understanding of himself.

	Orbital Reviews: Final Destination 2 (2003)
		Final Destination 2 is the first major opportunity for Director David R. Ellis, who began his career as a stuntman, ascended to stunt coordinator on Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), and became a second unit director on films such as Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994), both with Harrison Ford.
		Ellis seems to understand that Final Destination 2 simply cannot be a ground-breaking, innovative horror film like the first film, so instead he focuses on the humorous elements of the genre, which are numerous, and manages to create incredible death sequences that easily match the original in style and originality.
		The death scenes are worth the price of admission alone, but combined with a few hilarious lines and overall stylish editing, Final Destination 2 is a recommendable sequel and horror film.

	HSX Prediction Market: StarBonds® : Jeff Goldblum
		The latter role jump-started Goldblum's career, leading to roles in Woody Allen's Annie Hall, as well as 1978's campy remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
		Although he is much more than a mere character actor, Jeff Goldblum has definitely cornered the market on any film that calls for a hip genius.
		By the late-80's, Goldblum had staked his territory with turns in The Fly and his reprised role as super-cool math man Ian Malcolm in the Jurassic Park movies.

	Pessima White Birch Fonts
		PESSIMA was inspired by the opening titles of the film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978, directed by Philip Kaufman, titles by Pacific Title.) They look like a corroded, bold version of Optima*, Hermann Zapf's classic "serifless roman" from 1958.
		In the film, the corrosion varies from letter to letter and cleverly suggests the biologic horror to come.
		I discovered that Pessima reversed resembled birch bark, so I've made a companion outline font.

	Korean Movie Reviews for 2005: A Bittersweet Life, Crying Fist, The President's Last Bang, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, Welcome to Dongmakgol, and more.
		Even though Lady Vengeance is more leisurely paced and "gentler," still only in a Park Chan-wook film do we get not only a dog with a human face (a la the Phil Kaufman Invasion of the Body Snatchers [1978]), but also a bullet entering the dog's brow and exiting through his, ah, terminal organ.
		Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is ostensibly the final film in director Park Chan-wook's "Revenge" trilogy that had begun with Sympathy for Mr.
		Sympathy, I have to say that this is a gift I'd refuse regardless of the time of year when it's presented, in August or in April.

		Sutherland delivers a performance that conveys beautifully the terrifying realisation that he is one of a diminishing group yet to be overwhelmed by an alien force that bears the faces of the loved and trusted.

	MTV.com - Movies - Veronica Cartwright
		Playing opposite such heavies as Richard Dreyfuss in Inserts (1975) and Donald Sutherland in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Cartwright was well on her way to crafting an enduring film career.
		Despite the fact that Cartwright kicked off the '90s with a memorable turn in the popular weekly drama L.A. Law, the roles which followed were mostly comprised of thankless appearances in made-for-TV features and forgettable horror sequels.
		An actress with the kind of versatile beauty that has allowed her to effortlessly alternate between earthy and glamorous roles, Veronica Cartwright's steel-blue eyes have a strange way of piercing through the screen and transcending their two-dimensional restraints.

	Amazon.com: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) (1978) : Video
		The atmosphere of dread and paranoia grows increasingly intense as the complexity of the alien invasion is gradually revealed, until nobody can be trusted to be who they appear.
		This acclaimed 1978 version from director Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff) is every bit as creepy as the '56 original, and it fits perfectly into the cycle of paranoid thrillers that thrived in American movies of the 1970s.
		Also keep an eye out for a few surprise cameos by the likes of Robert Duvall (in the role of the holy swinging man), and also Don Siegel (cabbie) and Kevin McCarthy (crazed running man), the director and star (respectively) of the 1956 film...nice way to pay respects of what came before...
