    		 I want to to a few things about the new movie, the invasion
    but first I wanted to do a retro recap, of other films , to remind of those great mind numbing times (these at not all the movies about this topic, just a hand full to get the memories going)



    the 1950's start of an idea with new things to come

    Now, for the main topic, the invasion: movie
    following in the footsteps of the greats just metioned
    I thought the movie was pretty fun, story was good, yes, everybody does not turn into mindless

    zombies at the end but that does not have to be a bad thing. It was interesting seeing another ending then it's classic originals

    and it also gave me another reason to stay up (aside from freddy krueger)





    the invasion

    others may not agree with what I think, but that's what this is about
    what did you think? Do you think it has what it takes to be another classic?

      		 Invasion from Mars and the Bodysnatchers were supposed to be allegories for Communism right?

        I don't go that deep on them, though you could be right, I just find them plain fun to watch
