Directed by Philip Kaufman. Written by W. P. Richter based (loosely) on the Jack Finney novel. Starring Brooke Adams, Veronica Cartwright, Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nimoy and Donald Sutherland.
Plot: a group of people discover the human race is being replaced by emotionless doppelgangers
This body snatcher movie is critically acclaimed and we can totally see why that is. It’s got a great cast, great specials and phenomenal direction. But an ending can make or break a movie for us, and we hated the end. Besides the fact that it deviates completely from the book, it’s also very depressing. So, very, very depressing.
Aside from the ending, Leonard Nimoy is a huge ass in the film who I would’ve kicked right out of my house. The pod/flowers/birth canals are fucking gross as hell. And the dog with the human face was uncalled for. What was even the point of that? Everyone knows I would hate something like that. And I do.
We gave it a shot and the critics might pan us, but no dice on this one. We give it a 40/100.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
