Philip Kaufman (2) (1936–)

Plants from space are replacing people.

I guess they couldn't think of an ending (even though the ending is one of the few great things about the book); instead it just turns into a zombie movie. Still good, though. Plenty scary, with an entertaining cast.

I was very interested in watching a realistic astronaut movie. But this movie was so broadly acted that it should have been in black and white.

2022 movie #154. Terrific remake of the 1956 original. Alien spores from outer space turn people into pod people in San Francisco. Don't know why it took me so long to finally see this.

An historical film in the French style, but directed by an American director. Nuanced, scary, sad, sexy, historical.
